Does anyone know how these fit and their quality. I liked the swallowed whole one but did know how they fit and what the quality was. Im 6 feet 180 and didnt know if large or xl would be best. Any comments or thoughts anyone could share? Thanks.

    I've got the old "10 of Clubs" hoodie & LOVE it...
    It's really well made & VERY warm too!!
    I like to layer my hoodies with sweaters or long sleeve T's in the winter time,
    so I usually grab a larger size to fit over other clothing!!

    it's hit or miss. I have a few that fit great and others that I felt constricted in. Same with the tees. I started to order one size up as I can always wear something else under them if needed.

    I have one of the new hoodies, and I was not impressed with the quality. It fits great, but it's super thin, and the applique melted through the back when it was made.

    BTW if anyone buys a hoodie with the 30% off code they are advertising, the code doesn't work as they spell it out on the splash page. You need to drop off the s at the end. '2014HOODIE' is what actually works.

    I bought one for my wife a few months back. I had to return it because the quality was terrible. The zipper came apart on the first wearing, and it was cut for a woman with no chest. The sweatshirt I bought for myself was made by a different company and the quality was much better.

    last year I got the black on fire men´s hoodie size S for me (female) bc there wasn´t one for women. Sorry to say it fits ok but the quality isn´t that good!

    I just got the Swallowed Whole hoodie. I wouldn't call it "thin" at all. And it fits me just fine. Most of my hoodies are way oversize, so it is nice to get something that fits right for once.

    Was kinda bummed that the graphics are applique or whatever, and not embroidered. I would think for 50 bucks there'd be a higher quality of finishing. But the shirt itself, the material is fine by me.

    I picked up the Monkeywrench Records hoodie that I've wanted for a while. Haven't worn it yet but it seems plenty big and thick enough. Men's XL.

    I got the swallowed whole hoodie at the Van show in Dec and while yes it is a thinner hoodie(which has been great this summer) I have worn mine a lot and it is still in great shape.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.

    Thanks for the endorsement. I was on the fence, but at $28 with the code how could I not. Just got it in the mail. Wow, what a quality hoodie. Probably worth that much without the graphics. I highly recommend this.

    I ordered the spark gold hoodie on 8/14 and received it today 8/23. On the thinner side but still very cozy.
    Oh please let it rain today.
