Uni Threads

Going to post in the review section when I have some time, but for now:

Sweatshirts they have in stock = bomb. Very similar style to this years Saga, but with a few changes - I love both, but just a heads up for any buyers out there. I got the zip up hoodie in Large, and it was in my hands in a few days.

Uni-threads is a little lighter weight - more casual wear around town, vs Saga, which I would take up to the hill and ride in. Theres also a little bit of a difference in colors, Uni is more muted than Saga's bright and flashy. Again, not a bad thing, the differences lend them to different occasions and styles. Its a bit shorter than your Large Saga, but still what I would consider Tall, even in a Large. Dare I even say a little sophisticated.

But my favorite thing has to be the Needle logo. I'm a Seattle native, and I've just got to love it. The little details are growing on me - the lining of the hood, the deep side pockets... its just the sex. Soft as hell lining, we'll have to see how that stands up after a few washes... but I'm really impressed. Really cool to see this little Seattle upstart put out some great gear.

I'd really like to know about the button hoodie if anyones snagged one yet, both in fit and quality. Post if you got it and want to review it, I really dont need another sweatshirt, but man....

You mean like the cheap ones they give to kids in t-ball? So are flex fits no longer cool? I thought the adjustable ball caps were not as popular as flex fit type hats; or is this part of that hipsterdouche trend of wanting something because it is not popular?

haha more than half his posts on his site are along those lines or similar to it

and to cobra_commander, yes we are all hipsterdouches who are dumb, trendy, 12 years old and not as smart or motivated as you, definitely not engineering students who love skiing and supporting local companies that make quality products and are making a name for themselves in the industry

THANK YOU. Now I know that I am not the only one who isn't still in little league. And they are precisely the hipsterdouche trend.

Man I never thought I would see the day that I agree 100% with a Cobra post.

If you think snapbacks are more douchey than fitteds, you are sadly mistaken.

the classic, I hate the popularity of snapbacks before it was cool to hate on the popularity of snapbacks or reverse hipsterdom

Live and let live. I look like the goon king in fitteds, but fine in snapbacks and five panel hats.

i've set my eyes on the uni snapback not because it's a snapback, but because the colorway and design is sick to me. i would buy it if it was a fitted as well

This. I plan on getting a Uni hat. I have never been a fan of snapbacks, I don't prefer them but if I like a hat, I don't care if its fitted, velcro, snapback, etc. But I absolutely hate that everyone is all about snapback because they are "cool". And as far as 5 panel hats, I don't like the look of them.

its sucks they are dropping it so late, but I dont think it will be a huge drop and is more reasonably priced than JIberish and probably a little less than saga stuff, so just save some!

For Sizing:
I have an XL tee, it is about 25.5" wide (Across the middle) and about 28.5" long (from bottom of neck hole to bottom hem), it is a super sick cotton/spandex or some material blend. A little strechy and soft. I can post pics tomorrow if you want em
