I'm looking for some new hoodies for general streetwear and no clue where to start. I'm looking for good high quality ones. I can't stand the basic old school hoodie that has the tight cinched waist and the cuffs that are tight and cheap and uncomfortable as shit.

Anyone have suggestions?

In love with my Armada hoodie. Pretty basic material but looks long even on my lengthy frame and can be found pretty cheap.

I like getting high quality hoodie blanks and sewing my own patches on. You get some really high quality stuff for cheaper plus you get to add your personal touch :)

Hahah glad to have assisted.

I personally like Los Angeles apparels heavy weight hoodie I think the shape is sick but not sure if it sounds like your thing.

they have a more 80s cut so you can size them up to get that baggy fit without them being too long like a dress.

plus they have this awesome worn texture that’s hard to explain.

another good blank is independent trading co. (I have reason to believe that’s what arsenic prints on because on, cuz one of their green colors is identical to the the boxing glove hoodies Siver wears)

there’s tons more distributors if you do some searching. A lot of them provide exact product measurements aswell.

I actually looked into independent because I have a local hoodie that I absolutely love and I wanted to just get some blanks. They’re stock is crazy depleted and I chatted with a rep today and most of their hoodies won’t restock until next Feb. major bummer.

Anybody know where you can get a really thick hoody? I used to have this 3xl quicksilver hoody that had legit substance to it. Falling in a skatepark or on a rail in the park or icy snow was no big issue. The material felt like the tongue of a hockey skate. If you got slashed with a hocky stick right on the tongue of the skate you would hardly feel it bc it was so thick and meaty.



Id love to go in with one of you guys to design a hoody with burlap style impact protection.

Yessssir both Vishnu and Arsenic print on Independent Trading Co hoodies. Best fit and durability IMO.

High suggest supporting the actual brands tho! I think Dan has a release dropping quite soon with a number of new hoodies!

home depot has some awesome hoodies. I wore the shit out of a Milwaukee one last winter and it still looks pretty new. The material is super thick and durable too. Also, carhartt hoodies are not cheap but they will last way longer than most.

I have one, super good, thick material and it actually is kinda waterproof for a little bit. It is kinda short and boxxy though. The waist elastic is a little on the tighter side as well.
