how many Power Wear items do you have now?

Between (graphic and blank) tees, thermals and sweats it's hard to put a number on it...I'll try to get a count for you though.

Experiencing an unexpected lull during a product launch, here is an office mugshot. S506XX 44-45 and a new pair of 601RB. The hip flare is a bit much but I’m sure will settle down

Did a rough count and we're up to 40 Power Wear items. No, I don't have a problem.

I’d say 30 of those are t-shirts.

So I was to'ing and fro'ing on whether to get a size 42 or a 44 in the Powerwear heavyweight sweatshirt (#2434007)

I have FW jackets in size 44 and size 46, so logic says a size 44 in sweatshirts should be good
However, for me, the sweatshirt measurements tend to look, or be, generous... though it depends how you want them to fit

Also, I'd previously got the Lot #2334011 sweatshirt in size 44 without consulting anyone and it's anomalously massive, even after washing it at 90C and sing the dryer (yes, that's another story)

Seiichiro had the idea of sending me both 42 and 44 to help me choose; and asked me to post the comparison (top service from Seiichiro, as always btw).  I've never posted on IG so here we go on Sufu

I know other Sufu'ers get more shrink from their wash/dry methods, so my measurements are a guide to be used with caution 

The pictures are pre-wash 42, pre-wash 44 and then washed 42

Anyhow, happy with the size 42 and it seems the right one for me in Freewheelers sweatshirts 

Size 42 pre-wash / raw

Size 44 pre-wash / raw

 

Measurements chart - measurements can vary depending who is taking them - main take-away here is the relative change

Ta-da... settled on size 42

And then the bad prince got locked up in the dungeon... and they all lived happily ever after.  The end

Hey @AnOldFolkSong need an update on your Freewheelers stuff. Any paint left on the jeans at all?
