Gotta say I am happy with my Pike Brothers one, but these look great too. I wish I had picked up one of the white Japanese Slapshot ones from Aero a few years back, but they rate the PB's on par. Not seen the Champion ones in the flesh, they look chunky.

ZarJazz · 2015-03-19 10:06:05

I wonder how they size up?

ZarJazz · 2015-03-19 10:42:19

...okaaay!
Thanks for that.
I'm looking at a medium then.

Thee Captain · 2015-03-19 10:52:07

Saying that...wonder what size that is in the image...they look quite slinky....

What we've got here my man is a case of the Savoy Brown's I do believe...

I like the Goodwear stuff, cheap as chips in the US, but sells here for premium - or is JS doing a special price Capt'n?

I dig the white Champions a lot, I'm putting it on the wish list!

My wife recently shoved my old grey LVC in the dryer and it turned out lady sized (I wonder if it was sneakily intended!) so I doused it with cold water and shampoo and stretched it out overnight on a towel. Now it's all stretched out and the sleeves are too long. I hope it gets reshaped in the next wash >

Not according to this page... the current collection

http://www.toddsnyder.com/collections/champion

They all have pockets except for those ugly "reverse weave" sweats. I don't mind the pockets but that emblem on the sleeve is terrible. Where did the photos at the top of the page come from?

Oliver · 2015-04-01 08:33:55

Oops, I see those ARE the reverse weave sweats at the top page. I guess they're just promo photos that don't show the logo? They look much better above than they do on the TS website.

I dig the ragalan sleeves a lot more so I'll go for the cheaper pocket sweat.

It's the 50s Champion logo I believe...if that's been stated I apologise..just back from a "business lunch" & I'm wankered innit...

Oliver · 2015-04-01 09:28:23

It's hideous no matter what decade it's from... I'll be plucking mine right off!

Thee Captain · 2015-04-01 09:39:52

What is a top pocket doing on a sweat shirt? I find it an off putting and unnecessary detail. It looks too small to be of any practical use. I like the crimson colour though.

I already know what Captain's getting for his secret santa this year!

Robbie, lots of sweats had pockets in the 50's/60's. My grey LVC has one too and I don't see it as an unecessary detail. People probably used to stuff their Newports and shades inside.
