Avoid the hooded sweatshirt from Party

I am 6'3" and weigh 170, so I am not overweight. Still, I usually order sweatshirts XXL for the extra length and because I like them roomy.

So I decide to cash in some party points for the hooded sweatshirt. Granted, I would not be seen in public in this, but I'm thinking it would be fine for wearing around the house, yardwork, etc. I ordered it a couple of weeks ago, and it actually arrived in about 10 days, which is fantastic for Party since I wasn't actually expecting it before Christmas.

Anyway, I try the thing on and it's almost skin tight. Now, granted, Mrs jrz1972 thinks that's cool because it shows off my chiseled physique, but I'm not pleased at all. I checked the tag and it really is labeled 2XL, but it's the smallest 2XL sweatshirt I have ever seen. And it's the largest size Party offers.

Let my experience serve as a warning to others. Save your 3000 PPs and use it on something better, like the hawaiian polo. I made a bad decision and now I have to try to somehow pick up the pieces and move on.

I got 2 mediums for myself because I like it so much. It's very soft.

Really? I thought it was itchy as hell. Maybe I should do laundry more [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

weird

I'm 6'3 225 and find the XL to be perfectly sized. I wonder if they don't know what xxl means.

I am 5-10 and weigh 245 and the xxl is skin tight on me too. Man I hate party. Sandals are the cheap ones that you can buy at Dollar General. Stars seems to have the nicest stuff. Their jackets are real nice. Their polo shirts are good also.

I feel your pain. That Hawaian Polo shirt would have been sweet, and roomy.
