Best Hoodies!? Recommendations

How's the fit on the Reigning Champ hoodies? Slim or regular?

 

[Superfluous Man]

Last weekend I got really drunk and someone stole my Blanc & Noir hoodie so I need a new one

I have a 36" chest, usually wear shirts that are about 17" shoulder to shoulder. I don't need anything too heavy because I live in Arizona and it never gets very cold here. What brand/size would work best for me? Does anyone have experience with Acne hoodies?

it's actually ridiculously small.
i'm usually a medium, I had to buy a large b/c medium would not fit.

it's like a women's small, no joke.

in general they are quite slim fitted.
the large is not as fitted as I'd like but good enough that i'm happy with it.

i have a Medium from FW 09' and it fits the same, a bit smaller than the FW 10' Large.

I dunno why everyone is complaining about the W+H fit. Obviously it won't work on everyone due to the shrunken chest and super-long sleeves, but the fit is a large part of why W+H hoodies are so great. Prob works best on those who are skinny/lanky.

That's weird on the RC hoody/crew neck sweatshirt sizing. That is if in fact they're really small where as the sweats are loose fitting to a little large. Though the size small has wound up being about perfect for me in the RC's after washing and drying them on high heat. They shrank a little which helped. Now I'd say they're in the same size area as w/h size mediums. I think they'll continue to shrink just a little after each wash and dry if you want them to. Any fit pics in the RC hoodies would be cool.. edit; pronxs - that is a totally sick colored hoodie. w/h needs to start with some different color schemes. Somewhere on something I saw where they made baby clothes with left over fabric. They made these little baby tiger fleeces with these mish mashes of bright colors. I think that could potentially be cool if done properly for adults. here is one of the older w/h tiger fleeces with ri-ri's and "classic fit"

The colors they have are great but I tossed mine since the material felt so ****** after a few washes.
