Title: Crewneck Sweatshirts.
Post by: condrbkr on February 18, 2016, 02:13:21 AM: Does anyone have a particular generic brand and model they prefer?

I got this good design I feel like would look dope on a white crewneck.

It seems like the options are Gildan, Jerzees, Hanes, and American Apparel.

I just wanna know what the average bike rider in a blank crewneck are wearing.

We use gildan for our hoodies and don't get any complaints, they're a nice fit.

Fruit of the loom isn't bad if you get that over the pond.

American apparel are a tighter fit.

What I don't like about Gildan is that their clothes get wider when you size up but not really much longer. So if you don't have a long upper body like I do you're perfectly fine.

I'm trying to get something printed on the front of it. Design wise, two separate logos would conflict too much. At least for me.

I got a champion crew neck at a hardcore show back in October. Definitely available.

Post by: slvtn on February 20, 2016, 05:14:09 AM: I do have a long upper body, so sizing can be tricky. I prefer American Apparel as they fit me the best and you can choose from a bunch of colours. If you have an H&M around you (does that even exist in the US?) they also have some comfortable crewnecks in a few colours.

Champion

I knew you'd recommend the hardcore standard.

Well there's the band Champion, but I seem to remember everyone having Champion mesh shorts and Champion sweatshirts back in the day.

Shout outs to these dudes though, keeping Vancouver hardcore alive.

Torsos are more of a rectangle than a square. Someone should tell them.
