I put the two brands together because my understanding is they're under the same parent company. After a few months of seeing their hoodies recommend I pulled the trigger on this one in a 33% off Black Friday sale. shop.reigningchamp.com/collections/fall-winter-2014/products/full-zip-hoodie-heather-greyThat puts it around the same price as American Giant, but the fit pics I've seen on RC hoodies have been way better. I don't own any super high quality hoodies so the comparison will be H&M, Under Armor and college logo made in china stuff. Anyway, lots of other items in their collection look good and I'm excited to see this thing. |

where are the fit pics found? Also, what weight are these hoodies?
The fit of the AG hoodies are excellent imo and I haven't read very many complaints on it either. The AGs are 12.4 oz which is a nice, solid weight. I'm curious to see some fit pics and hear your thoughts on these. If the fit is good and they are a heavyweight hoodie I might be interested if I could get one on sale.

Mostly reddit for the fit pics, I haven't saved any off. They have three weights for hoodies, light, medium and heavy. I'm not a fan of heavy hoodies so I went with the medium weight.

I have heard wings & horns was awesome before they were sold or maybe it was a lead designer change.

My hoodie came today and it's pretty damn amazing. The fit (med on 185 lbs, 6'2") is perfect for me and the construction and midweight terry are impressive. My favorite detail is the side panels in the last pic. I'm not sure I'd pay $150 for this, but at $100 it's pretty solid. If you need a fancier hoodie than this you shouldn't be buying a hoodie. |

The price is on the high side for a hoodie (to me) but it looks very nice. Great fit too. |

I highly doubt anybody will notice and say, "damn, that's an insanely high quality hoodie you're wearing" but the tailored fit on a hoodie definitely stands out. |

I just ordered a RC full zip hoody for $89 w/free shipping. I hope the size works out. I'm 5'11, 180 lbs and went with a large. I figured because it's 91% cotton, 9% polyester then there will be some shrinkage. This has happened with every hoodie I own.

That's a damn good price for the mid or heavyweight. The fit should be fine unless you're looking for it to be super slim.

It was about 50% off, so that's the only reason I bought it. Can't believe how expensive these are

Well, they're really nice hoodies. You're going to love the quality but nobody else will notice.

I really like the tiger fleece hybrid full zip hoodie as well. Think I'll have to nab one when I see it on sale

Finally took delivery of my RC full zip hoodie today. I really like it. The size large is perfect on my frame (180 lbs, 5'11) and it feels fairly substantial and rough to the touch. It's fitted though which makes me curious how I'm supposed to wash this thing. I'm guessing line drying it would be the best option as the sleeves are pretty tight. If the sleeves were any tighter I'd have to have stick arms just to wear it. Overall a nice quality hoodie. I like that's it's fitted and not billowy like average hoodies

I washed mine cold and tumble dried low. It shrank a tiny bit, but seems like it stretched right back out after a wear. It's pretty much my go-to hoodie now, definitely liking it.

Does it look like static for reallies, or is the camera just struggling with the darks? *** EDIT: umm.. my angle being that I think it's cool if it looks like static, I'm not just trying to be a dick. If it for reallies looks like static I want one. |

oooh... assuming it shares at least one of these colors: Yes it does. It also has a soft terry cloth feel to it, whereas, my zip up hoodie has a rougher texture. The fit on the crew neck is fitted and doesn't have much stretch, so it's a bitch to get on |

I came across a deal, for Wings + Horns Westpoint Chinos, black. Having read some positive reviews about their product, I decided to give them a go. Upon first inspection, the 100% cotton twill fabric is excellent. Nice weight, certainly durable, but not overly substantial. The grey herringbone pocket bags are nice touch, as well. Construction is quite good. No stray stitching, or loose threads. Slanted pockets with bartacks. Corozo button fly, securely fastened. Extra buttons, if needed. Overall, a quality product. The fit is definitely a slim, modern fit. It is very close to Gustin's slim chino fit. This would be my only complaint. I like a little more room in my chinos. In closing, they are a great casual/dress casual chino option. Are they worth the $198 retail..... No. But, from my understanding, they can be had for half that, on a regular basis. At around $100, they are well worth it. If not for the fit, I'd certainly hang on to these.   |

I was actually looking for some RC stuff today. Really dig the recent washed indigo LS crewneck.
