I bought the size I thought I would be and it's perfect fit.
They are short in the body, but sleeve is good once rolled.
Great posts on the sweats and hoodies Woollie. My recent Gap sweat appears authentic.
I don't wear cotton hoodies these days but back in 1972 I was in Helsinki as a teenager because of a good looking Finnish girl. All the local kids were wearing hoodies so I bought one. When I went back to London all my mates wanted one as well. I also bought a pair of Sebago beefroll shoes on that trip.
Some inspiring pictures there Woolster.
Many thanks for sharing.
Cheers, but I can't take credit for finding any of the photos. They're all stolen from various tumblr blogs.
RobbieB, wow, sounds like there's a great story in there. Do you, perchance, remember the brand of that hoodie? And where did you buy the Sebbies? You eventually married that girl, right?
just got this on ebay

Russell Athletic labels timeline is beautiful Woolster, love this thread!
^ fabulous work Woolster.
So, I was at Westfield shopping centre(White City) with my daughter and we popped into with American Eagle (her benefit not mine) but a grey sweat caught my eye from their "vintage" range no Ae logo and priced at £17.99. It may not be the perfect gray sweat but at that price I had to have it.

Could be an option
I quite like the one with the zip and collar too

I have that one and I quite like it. The price is on the rather expensive side, but from the sweats I've been looking at, it's around those prices. I really liked the RA one.
