I tried streching out the bottom (elastic?) band out on my jiberish hoodie cuz it creeps up and eventually ends up around my waist, when i walk and ski, buuuut when i did this the band didnt stretch out that much and the bottom of the main fabric (under the pockets) really steched out wide. now i look like a fuckin cupcake when i put it on. i feel like an idiot.. does anyone know how to stretch out the bottom elastic part? or fix what ive done to mine???

id say the fabric is too thick. i have the brown/blue level 1 hoodie so i know waht ya mean. idk if itll help but for my tall t's i stand on one end and pull up the damp side hard. it works just bags out a lil at the bottom but it looks ill. i only do it though cuz im 6'4 and wicked skiiny so i need like 4x but then it looks like a prom dress.

Soak the body in water, at least half way, then stand on the arms, hood area and stretch the wet part for a minute or or whatever. Hang it up in your shower for 20 min or so, and stretch it again. Repeat for however long.
Or if you have anyone over at your house, you can have them hold onto the arms/ shoulder area and you can pull on the wet side.

i got mine super cold stretched with my hands then stretched it over my shower curtain by clamping it super wide (as far as i could stretch it). then i just let it dry. it worked to some degree but i had to iron the cotton above the elastic to get the weird ripples it makes.
