foxy2, how is the sizing on the real McCoy and buzz rickson crew?

I wear a size small in ironheart shirts and sweats, but a medium in strike gold sweatshirts (and they fit perfectly). The length on my strike golds seems perfect around the 24-25 inch range. I have the strike gold crew in grey, black and indigo, but am kind of digging the color options with the samurai, real McCoy and buzz rickson...

Does anyone sport the real McCoy Henley thermal? It's gonna get super cold in the northeast over the next few weeks and I think I might need to add a couple of thermals to my collection. I was hoping to go with my usual iron heart western with a hoodie and my buzz ma-1 but the button down under the hoodie is pretty tight, and all of that stuffed into the buzz is way too tight.

Will probably have to go with a thermal under a hoodie or sweatshirt combo under the ma-1 on the super cold days.

yeah, i'm seriously considering picking up the indigo hoodie too. shit.

something about they grey. good looking collection!

i'm kind of amazed at how much the crew shrunk down with a cold wash and air dried flat. fits perfectly. very happy i didn't put this in a warm wash.

If I wear a size medium in the indigo SG sweatshirt(fits perfectly!), I should probably go with size medium in the grey and black SG sweats to take into consideration the shrinkage as they're unwashed? I'm checking the measurements on the Self Edge site and looks like the grey and black crews will shrink down to the same measurements as the indigo, with maybe a slightly longer vertical and sleeve length.

^ muchos gracias senor! that was super helpful!! looks like i'm going to pick up one of each then! ps. would love to see the complete sweatshirt collection if you've already got a pic handy!

Get the 1109/2109/3109.  We have them at Self Edge NY if you want to go in and try them on.

Thanks! Will give them a try-on when I go to buy some more SG sweatshirts.

Any recommendations for SG denim that fit similarly to the Iron Heart 301S? I'm more of a slimmer fitting, tapered leg kind of guy.

Ariana Marie and Daisy Summers. Girl next door vibes,

would like to add shae summers as well

kudos man. its a great blade. I actually live in new mexico as well!

i spent two weeks traveling and hiking all over new mexico last august! i'm in love with the southwest and my wife and i are planning on another trip this summer. we were everywhere from carson, bandelier, all the way to white sands and gila. 

^delica 4? i have the same color.

yeah! it's the delica 4. i carry it everywhere, all the time. from backpacking in the new mexico desert to every day use in the city.i used to have something of an excellent semi-custom/production folding knife collection but sold it all and kept the humble delica 4.

Can anyone comment on Real McCoy vs Strike Gold vs Iron Heart sweats relative to one another (sizing etc). SG crews fit a little tighter in general? What kind of shrinkage can you expect in the Real McCoys and Iron Hearts?

Basically I'm trying to decide if I want to pick up a SG crew in grey and black; or pick up the SG crew in black and a Real McCoy crew in grey.

i believe that the indigo dyed ones aren't supposed to shrink anymore, especially with a cold wash  (i think they're washed once + the dying process shrinks them)

Fit on the indigo SG crews is my favorite in regards to how it fits me, and it seems to be really really good on most other people too.  I think I'm going to pick up a black SG crew as well, and see what kind of measures it takes to get it to shrink to the extent that the indigo dyed one has.  

has your SG indigo crew shrunk at all? i've not washed mine yet and don't want it to shrink a cm as it fits perfectly as is. when i was it i'll do a cold wash and let it hang dry.

I'm def a fan of the SG sweatshirt.

finally jumped onto the loopwheeled sweatshirt wagon. picked up an indigo dyed strike gold loopwheeled sweatshirt and am quite pleased. i'm going to have to pick up some more loopwheeled items this winter.
