You've got me paranoid now, he he....I've been looking weird all this time?!?!?...always the last to know..
It may just of been the ones I tried on were from a bad batch, who knows, I'm sure you don't look weird.
Thats interesting, I may have to give them another try.
Yep - concur with me fellow Cap'n... the newer ones are not so thick either as apparently they were "too warm" under a winter coat...
I've a couple of the old and new but like both tbh...
They've gone up in price but still think they're cheapest from the website:

I only know of American Classics who sell em here?
Did anyone try the one from Sunspel?

Doesn't look very rugged.
Rugged it ain't fella....way too baggy round the bottom for me...and that bagginess will only get worse Wahoo....WORSE I TELLS YA?!?!?

That looks about right, TJ. Simple, cheap and effective. Nice.
What's the thinking on raglan sleeves on those? Yeah or neah? I have an American Giant sweat with raglan sleeves and I'm not convinced it adds anything comfort wise...
May I introduce a new competitor?
-Long hems
-Raglan sleeves
-Side ribs
-Hanging loop on back neck
-That V-stitch on the neck
-Shoddy photo

Never tried but might order a navy one next week
For me they're a utility and not fashion item, so I go for basic and hardwearing. My only requirement is that they have a high cotton content and V insert collar. The best I've had to date have been Russell Athlectic, from JC Penney and Henbury, from a building suppliers.
They turn up on eBay a lot cheaper as do the Buzz ones. Both pretty similar to each other. I'm wearing a Reigning Champ one today which is ok and even cheaper.
I'm in a Buzz myself FC - have yet to find anything else that comes close quality wise...
I don't think my BR bubble will ever burst
Any idea on the RMc sizing FC?
On a par with BR?
Quite similar really. Although I found the McCoys to be a tiny bit more boxier in shape. The neck on them seems a tad higher also. I found that BR changed the shape a few years ago for the European market as the first one I ever got was more like the RMc.
Ta - yeah, got one of the older BR's on & very cosy I am too!
May well have to investigate these then...
Albam do some lovely sweatshirts
I own a couple
Probably a bit punchy for some but you get what you pays for
Good call PT...just been taking a viddy at em now...look decent!
