lining an AA hoodie?

[shagnscoob]

the AA hoodies are notoriously thin and lose their shape pretty easily.

would it be possible to line it with something really nice and cozy to help keep warm and to help it keep shape? (i mean the pullover, not the zips which can come lined with thin thermal.)

Anythings possible. But if youre wearing them skintight, take into account the extra bulk underneath. Might look wierd if youve stuffed it with sherpa or whatever. Also, the outside is thin as hell so unless you make a lot of reinforcing stitches, I imagine its going to sag wierdly.

Dunno. Id just spend over 30 dollars and buy something a little heavier. My AA is starting to deteriorate and its only been like a month since I bought it.

why don't you just not buy it and find a better hoodie

not sure why everyone likes AA so much, its all kind of expensive. i guess the fit is good, but are they even made well?

[shagnscoob]

if you buy them via wholesalers they arent expensive AT ALL. the fit is awesome, the only part that sucks is that the quality is so-so.

im trying to find plain black and plain grey pullover hoodies that are going to fit slim and keep me warm. any leads?

AA makes hoodies with a thermal lining. i have a couple in medium that i might want to sell.

im trying to find pullovers though, ive got enough zips. im thinking if i just turned a pullover inside out and sewed a layer of thermal over it, it would be a lot warmer. would that even work?

err... why not just wear a thermal shirt underneath the sweater?

I don't think what you're suggesting will work well unless you rip the garments apart and re-sew everything together. If you know how to do that, give it a try!

damnt.

is there a plain grey pullover hoodie out there besides macys/AA ? i really like the way wings and horns sound, but its a little pricey and not basic/plain enough for what im looking for...

i get the feeling so many people wear a.a. because so many people steal a.a.

you can do a lining like that, but it would be hard to attach to the hoody, a jacket / zip hoody would be much easier because you can open it. what you could do is make a drawing of the hoody with all the main pieces its constructed from measured, then cut similar pieces out of the lining material and sew it together. the attachment part would be the hardest.
