    Well, I have to say, my 1st impression is this is a very nice, well tailored Garment Love to New Logo ! It is more on the heavy side and is going to keep you warm, that’s for sure.
    Probably the most liked feature (other than logo) is the short zippered neck. Will allow you to losen around the neck area, or zip up tight to keep out the more brutal elements !
    On a constructive criticism note, I have to agree with a few others that I thought $70.00+ shipping was a little steep , but it is one of the nice sweat shirts I now own .
    I will wear this Proud!
    Won’t know until I get home and out of work grubs how the large decission will go with Budda. By the looks, think it’s going to be perfect.
    Well done staff

    I take it back! Knowing how much fun it has been over the years belonging here to IDO and all the useful information I have received, and also guessing some of the proceeds go back into IDO, it’s really a small cost to pay, IMHO.

    Hey Mike

    I ordered mine the other day too and can’t wait till it arrives.

    How did they ship it? UPS, USPS or?

    Those White Bear hoodies James used are the nicest ones you will find pretty much anywhere. The little extra pocket inside is a cool feature as well.

    Mine arrived today as well! I am very happy with the quality of this sweatshirt. For those of you on the fence, it is well worth it! Only took two days to get here via US Priority Mail. Very happy!

    I am sure they are nice and all but… for $70 plus,there are several things I would rather spend that money on,like my kids .

    Size was perfect for me. I’m 5 11 185. Ordered a Xl. I like sweatshirts a little big so I can layer underneath if need be. Perfect fit. I too spend the majority of my hard earned money on my kids…but sometimes the mail carrier sneaks a package in for dad

    Heck yeah, get all the kids one !!! Just ribbin’ ya ! I know Hunters Point has sweatshirts that are $65.. they are also VERY HIGH QUALITY… $65 made me cringe, but I will ONLY buy sweatshirts like that anymore… I am going on 4 years with mine and it looks new yet. I would rather have 1 $70 sweatshirt for 10 years, than have 2 $35 sweatshirts that last 2 years (btw, warm as heck too.. one around the campfire in the fall, can’t be beat)

    Man! I just got mine and was gonna start a thread if someone hadn’t. I’m too old and not cool enuf to use this term much…but first thing I thought was……”This thing is Sick!!” Heavy & durable, yet soft and comfortable. Logo..awesome. Velcro key pocket…awesome…I’ve got some decent sweatshirts / hoodies that I’ve worn for years…sorta like friends to me. This one is gonna be a life-long friend I think.

    I might be buying Christmas presents earlier than I’ve ever done. Well worth the $70!

    I’m waiting on a few projects to finish up and the checks to roll in so I can get mine.
    For people that think $70 is outrageous, I wonder how many years you get out of the lessor ones? When I bought all the sweatshirts for my field guys (late 1990’s) I bought the heaviest weight I could get with our budget – I think they were 12 oz.. In addition, my department was given the “company issued” sweatshirts. Those thinner ones couldn’t last me 2 years max with the abuse I put on clothing. Yet, that 12 oz may be a bit ragged, and it still is warm and durable! 14 years and the stitching is holding up perfectly!

    I agree! I get a lot of information and entertainment from this site so I am ordering mine as soon as I am done typing. Good to hear they are good quality but I would not expect anything less.

    With a IDO, Ice Force, Marcum, and a Skeeter sweatshirt, that would prolly make me the best fisherman EVER!!!

    Unfortunatly the “Same day shipping” if you order before 11am doesn’t always apply as i ordered mine on the 19th @ 10:23am and i just got notified that it is being shipped today the 22nd

    Interesting. I ordered earlier that same morning and I am yet to receive a shipping email.
