Hey guys,

I'm workin on getting a small line of sweatshirts made to sell, they'll be cut and sew constructed and I think i'll be producing about 10 or 12 of them for the first run. since this is a small number, i'm only going to be offering two different sizes, once a tall but more casual fit, and one a really tall, (intended for skiing) fit.

Also, I'm wondering whether people prefer Crewnecks or Zippered hoodies, and if they like zippered hoodies, would they be able to pay a few dollars more for that over a crewneck?

Lastly, I'm looking for some recommendations on the two sizes. Feel free to leave inch measurements, jiberish sizes, whatever you wanna do, but if you can leave me recommendations on both, along with you'r height for my refrence, that'd be awesome...

Thanks for all the Help and Plus Karma for good posts!

(Sparknotes): Crewnecks or Zippered Hoodies? how big for casual wear and how big for skiing?

Sounds like a good plan

I like pullover hoodies and crewnecks. I would prob pay more for a zipper hoody if you made some compared to a pullover or crewneck.

Sizes: keep them big - this is how lethal decent sizes just two sizes
XL- 33 in. top of shoulder to bottom of hem
XLT- 36 in top of shoulder to bottom hem or zipper length for zip ups

I'd definitely be down if you made some sick designs. And crews are the way forward.

do you make them from 100% scratch or do you cut up other cheaper sweatshirts and sew the pieces together?

i like creneck better than some hoodies but its personal preferance right. im 5'9 and a xl jiberish goes to my knees and a l jiberish goes about nidway point. make ur size simallar to jiberish so that the taller skiers can have a crewneck or a hoodie that goes to thier knees or mid way. w/e but i like ur idea. +k for u
