the perfect, unadorned grey crewneck sweatshirt

[newinny]

I'm gonna resurrect this thread 'cause I just went to J. Crew and all the grey sweatshirts sucked. They had a waffle texture to the outside which is unwanted.

Anybody have any good suggestions?

Liking it so far.

I got one of those too. Bought true to size and found it to be a little on the roomy side. Was that your experience too?

I got a medium, which is what i'd usually get and it fits as I like it. It's slightly loose fitting, but not over-sized or anything.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out if mine was tagged incorrectly. My size medium pit to pit is 23.5" while I was expecting it to be more like 21.5" based on previous seasons.

Does anyone know anything about the Alternative Apparel model?

I usually hear decent things about them. It looks okay -- not sure how I feel about the poly blend, though.

If Gilt ever does a PRPS sale again they sometimes sell a great grey crewneck sweatshirt for 38$

This is a lot harder than I thought. I was going to get a friend to pickup some Uniqlo sweatshirts but going by Uniqlo.jp measurements, the sleeves are abnormally short. Can anyone confirm Uniqlo NY has the same sleeve measurements, or are they cut longer?

the jcrew sunfaded sweatshirt is pretty spot on imo.

That looks nice, but from the picture it looks a little too light to be classic heather grey, or is it just the lighting? Looking for something closer to this shade: http://www.oipolloi.com/store/OurLeg...ange-4317.html

Thrift stores! My favorite sweatshirt, actually a hooded one, is a Jerzees brand I've owned since 1994 or so (I was in junior high school). Its been washed God knows how many times and feels so soft. No pilling and fits nicer than the bulky, contemporary sweatshirts sold by Gap, ON, athletic brands and the like.

The Studio D'Artisan one is probably my favorite from online photos, but would obviously need to head by BiG and try that stuff on.
