nah go for it, but get i done properly instead of slashing it up yourself and then feeling like a dumbass for ruining your jiberish. There was at least one kid who had their new shit tailored this winter, he was happy with how it turned out.

If you didn't wear 5xl, you wouldn't have a problem.

I cut two holes in the ribbing on the front and fed a string all the way around the ribbing inside so I could sinch it. It works fairly well.

It's a fucking 5XL hoodie. The ribbing is not supposed to be tight. Ya know why? Because it's a fucking FIVE X L HOODIE THAT IS MADE FOR SOMEONE HUGE.

thank you. take a look at the vast majority of companys hoodies, the ribbing is usually just a tad tighter than the body, usually the ribbing is the same width as the body. if u buy a 5xl and dont weigh at least 200 lbs it will be a sail.

no. its jiberish. most people buying 5xl jiberish are not fat, but skiers or snowboarders who want tall clothing, not fat ass clothing.

no. its jiberish. a clothing company, who now is going in a new direction trying to appease more than just skiers and snowboarders who want tall clothing, my uncle has a 4xl jiberish crew that fits him, says he wishes he got a 5xl, know components of business before posting, theres more money in the masses than just in the extreme sports community

ya dude, for sure. dumbest thing. jiberish isnt a clothing company at all. its a ski company. why try to appeal to people outside skiing, right?

bring this thread back to life to ask if the shoelace thing works with zippered pieces or just with crews and pull overs

works with zippered ones, i have an ironface that i did it too and it works, you just will have to untie the laces to take it off

Thinking about putting a lace through my 3xl level 1 collab. I wish I had gottrn A 2xl. Would it look better to cut the holes at the front or the side?

Shitty pics but you get the idea. The ribbing used to be a fucking dress before, from the side it used to look like I had an ass parachute. This is one of the two I got done but its the same deal.

i believe he thought it was a 5xl, thats why he said it looks short. But if your 5'8, than is clearly not a 5xl
