Received the alternative apparel hoodie. Not as high quality as an abercrombie hoodie unfortunately.

It feels exactly like an $8 walmart hoodie except the cut is much better. So it's worth 3x the walmart hoodie but that's not saying much.

Again, does anyone have any 1st hand experience with Nicholas K products in general and in particular their hoodies? $300 level quality?

There was interest from numerous SF'ers earlier in the thread: any of you guys pick up the Tripp hoodie? Here's an image hosted elsewhere, since Nicholas K took down all their images. Is this color slate heather or smoke heather?

I actually bought a slim-fit XL and took it to a tailor to get it slimmed down in the body.

Pretty sure Supreme hoodies are made by CYC, the same company that makes Reigning Champ and W+H

Is sizing on RC the same as on W+H, and are they as slim? I wanna pick up an RC recycled fleece hoodie at some point, but surprise surprise, there's no one in Philly who stocks them.

+1 I'm not exactly sure why people are recommending Alternative Apparel here. I bought a hoodie from them awhile back and was sorely disappointed. The material feels thin and flimsy and it started to pile the first day I wore it. The seams are pretty lousy and the zipper/shrinkage problem gives the hoodie major sweater boner. After one single wash, the underside of the material is incredibly piled and the whole sweater looks like its been wore for a couple of years. A hoodie from GAP probably wears better than AA. All in all, I cannot recommend Alternative Apparel at all.
