hoodie..

[gamma888]

it's difficult to find a nice quality material hoody in these days....

i ain't looking for that super thin hoody. what i'm looking for is outer cotton with fleece feel inside hoodie. can anyone recommend it online? i've been looking for a while...

the closest one i could find was the one from upper playground in SF.

thanks..

Spruce -- available online from http://www.stevenalan.com

Best hoodies ever!

[gamma888]

thanks.. anymore?

or if you really want a plain hoodie just go to like target or something.

[minya]

yeah AA makes nice hoodies. I wish the arms were a little more tapered though. Ah well...

[gamma888]

never thought that AA would make great hoodies. they're somewhat too thin for my taste yet the shape is great...

picky picky picky i guess ;-)

thanks bros though for the recommendations.

[minya]

have you tried the California Fleece hoodie? It's lined with fleece. It's thicker than the standard AA zip-up hoodie.

But seriously the Spruce hoodie is exactly what you're looking for: it's very thick, sturdy cotton with a fleece inner. It is pricy though...

[gamma888]

the california-london hoodie is new to me... guess i'll take my chance with it and order it now! thanks for the help, guys...

My spruce hoodie owns ass. It's benn through 2 washes already it still feels good as new! Amazing

[gamma888]

thanks... also someone mentioned that wings n horns hoodie is pretty good as well? it's somewhat difficult to find through web though...

steven alan's website only has slim hoodie. not sure if i want that... i want the 'loose' one... perhaps i could ask my wife to check out steven alan's shop soon this week.

You could buy the slim-fit Spruce two sizes larger. That's what I did and I really like the fit. The XL I have fits a little smaller than a regular L.

[hahnstch]

i think spruce and wings and horns are owned by the same company. i would recommend supreme hoodies also, knowing where they are manufactured

Is the music sample on the Steven Alan site M83?

[yuljo]

I believe it's LCD Soundsystem but can't recall which song.

[minya]

Yeah... I think Richard Kidd's hoodies are somehow connected to Spruce/W&H/CYC Design as well.

I think I'm going to keep this incredibly expensive hoodie, though... it's a little baggy but it's a different look than the usual slim fit I prefer. I kind of dig it.

[SENDkylHISPASSWORD]

What is CYC, and do you have any more links to official website or other places selling the stuff?

I picked up a spruce hoodie not to long ago, it is pretty dope.

CYC Design is the company that produces the garments for Spruce, Wings & Horns, Supreme, and (I suspect) Richard Kidd.

As far as I know they have no website.

[gamma888]

Mm... minya, seems like you pretty much know everything. you work behind a garment shop or what? ;-) i probably will be in nyc for just a day or two, so might be able to swing by at alan's shop to check out the spruce.

[minya]

Heh, no, I've just read this forum a lot.

There is a massive wealth of information available via the search function

[gamma888]

yeah if i only have lots of free time in my hands like you do!

but word down with the great scoop here.

[youwish]

Diesel actually makes a wide range of men's hoodies. They have thick ones too!

It takes strength to be gentle and kind.

[super]

My tiger fleece hoodie is beauuutiful. Will up pics if anybody is interested

Anyway, I'm waiting till Supreme releases a minimal logo thermal hood. The ones from this season are amazing; it's fuking thick as hell

Damn I wish I knew what company Supreme uses for their hoodies, I would love a bunch of blank ones.

they use CYC Design for the t-shirts, so I'm going to assume they produce the sweatshirts as well. I could be wrong though.

I picked up an off white hoodie from club monaco - http://www.clubmonaco.com/122005/m5.asp (its under the sweater). It's been doing me good. Also my H&M zip up has been in heavy rotation latley.

I took some close up shots to show the texture and detailing.
