It's the same. It's just Context's picture looks better and it looks like they used a bright flash on it.

It's different. The one on Farinelli's is the new shawl neck tiger fleece, while Context seems to have the classic design. The shawl neck one: - has a shawl neck - has rounded pockets - has white contrast zipper taping - has drawstrings

I could be wrong... But the pockets on Context look horizontal while the ones on Farinelli's look rounded.

 

[obnavox3]

Yeah they are slightly different it looks like. Regardless, they're both nice.

I've been considering both myself over the last few days too. Anyone know if both are new for F/W 2009?

I believe so. The non-shawl one is termed "F/Z Tiger Fleece" by a couple of places, but looks the same as past season tiger fleeces to me. No idea what "F/Z" stands for.

full zip?

I am sure it's been posted 100x in this thread but how slim are the Tiger Spruce zip up/shawl pullover hoodies? I sit around 205Lbs 6'2.. about a 42L jacket. Would an XL be best?

Looks good from here. Nice pickup. So have you tried other W+H items this season then? Were you a size larger on other pieces even though your TTS on this one then? Just trying to get it in perspective.

So you haven't check on those 100x times then I assume? Online shopping is best handled by comparing clothing you have around the house and taking measurements and comparing with measurements available for the product. When I purchased my first W+H hoodie on this forum and before I knew about all the online retailers I do now, I searched for a bit to find similar items that have appeared in the B&S and throughout the forums. Context, Farinelli's, Four Horseman, Detour, these affiliates are more than happy to help with sizing on products and have measurments available on their site often or always if you really need a handle on things after all that.

I am actually at Farinelli's right now and see they have measurements up. Thanks for the suggestions.

I would definitely wear it alone with just a tee underneath.

I've purchased quite a bit from this season. Navy Full Zip Cardi, Static Short Sleeve tees, Cotton Cash long sleeve, Diamond Knit Henley.

I've been true to size (Large) in everything except the Navy Full Zip Cardi. I sized up to XL on that and the fit is perfect. I was thinking about getting the Melton Wool button down and maybe the MK-2 and was considering sizing up to an XL on both of those as well.

Basically its similar to season's past. I am a large in mostly everything with a few exceptions (XL in the Terry blazer, Medium in the thermal from S/S)

Damn, I just realized how much W+H I own.

Good man. I'm not into hoodies anymore so I haven't stayed in tune with the sizing on these or would have given you more info. Check Context too and Four Horseman. If they don't work out, any of the shops can you help you out.

I am not into hoodies much they are just so damn convenient in my evil cold climate. I live about 5 minutes from the place I lecture on weekends and they're perfect for rolling out of bed for a 5 minute walk in -25C weather.

I would not size up on the MK-2 - it is not really that slim, though sizing up might make it more relaxed throughout. If you wish to use the Melton wool BDU as a middle layer, definitely size up, though the thing looks good as a slim shirt in an unusual fabric as well.
