Agreed. The site images make it look like a normal crew neck. I'll probably end up keeping the one i picked up as it doesn't bother me much, but just a fair shout for people out there considering it.
Damn that sucks. Mine is supposed to be here Wednesday and I ******* hate boatnecks. That's the nicest way I can put it.

For those with the boatneck maybe ugot the wrong size?

U should not size up on the pullover


i didn't size up. got a medium, which based on the measurements should fit (and it does fit well tbh). if i had sized up, the neck opening would have been way too big.

here are a couple fit pics just to show how big the neck opening is. it's not enormous, but it's definitely wider than a normal crew. (sorry the pics aren't too great, it was hard to just take pics of the neck based on the mirrors in my apartment and my phone camera). hope this helps.

my mind may have changed on the crewneck. it definitely doesn't look like that in the lookbook. thank you for posting a fit pic btw. I may just get the grey hoodie instead now.

Just a heads up, atrium has some of the new stuff up. They also correctly show the crew neck.

Looks normal to me. Not exactly boatneck


Take a look at the atrium pic of the black and white. There is a difference.

I personally don't care about the wide neck other than it looking weird with anything underneath. IMO the neck of majority of tees will show.

I personally couldn't wear a T underneath, looked bad IMO. I got my normal size. I have semi-wide shoulders, not a body builder, but i wonder if that is "stretching" the neck out...I shouldn't care this much but I do. It is not a crew neck, no matter what the pictures may show.
