$110 for a Spruce hoodie - worth it?

[asdfTT123]

I've been wanting to get a nice hoodie for awhile now and I've heard good things about Spruce...but is the price justifiable? I've never actualyl felt a spruce hoodie before since I live in the United States but what sets them apart from other hoodies? I must admit I am drawn towards the simplicity of them. Also, I have a sizing question.... I wear size 4 in Lacoste and mostly smalls in polo RL...will a slim fit medium work for me? I like my clothing a bit form fitting but I also want to be able to breathe in it. Also, do they stretch comfortably and allow room for movement and is it a good winter hoodie? Thanks.

Where do you find this for $110? I've just bought one and it's on the way, so I can't comment. Spruce gets good marks around here though.

$110 for a spruce hoodie seems to be a very good price..get 'em they are one of the best makers of hoodies right now.they stretch in time and they fit very comfortably

Not an unbelievable price, but definitely quite a good one. Worth it or not depends on your personal financial sitaution, but I don't even consider the full retail price terribly unfair. They are very well made.

bump...I could still use some sizing help

Got my Spruce hoodie today, definitely worth the money in terms of fit and construction. I have a question for those who own one. The one I got is a Slim Fit, and as it stands right now, it fits pretty slim. I can deal with this if it doesn't shrink anymore in the dryer. Have you experienced any shrinkage with yours?

They don't shrink. I've owned probably 5 or 6 Spruce/W&H hoodies and none have shrunk.

What size slim did you get and what do you normally wear?

I got a slim grey pinstripe hoodie from one of the fellas over at the other SF. Normally, I'm a Small in RL Slim Fit, or a 3 in Lacoste. I wear my clothes pretty slim, but not skin tight.

Spruce (and presumably W+H has not changed) fits fairly true to size. The slim fit is a slim cut, not just a classic cut sized down. No reason to be agonizing over this.

I have heard that the tiger slims fit alittle bigger.

no, they simply stretch much more easily. The 100% cotton hoodies aren't as forgiving. IMO the tiger fleece are much better for wearing tight due to the stretch factor.

I just placed an order for a medium slim fit plain white Spruce hoodie...I'm hoping it will fit well (just not skin tight) and remains breathable and somewhat stretchy. What size slim fit did you get, DarkNWorn? I wear small in RL and 4 in Lacoste...I'm really hoping these will fit.
