Eric, the fact that you're still giving this hoodie 5 stars despite the length situation really speaks to how the build quality is delivering on that Origin standard you've come to expect.

You're absolutely right that the Heavy Half Zip fits differently than the Kilo Light - that heavier weight fabric and construction does create a different silhouette and drape. It's one of those things where each piece in the line has its own character, and sometimes that means the sizing translates a bit differently between styles.

That combination of loving the fit overall while dealing with a length preference is exactly the kind of honest feedback that helps us understand how these pieces are performing in the real world. The fact that you kept it and still recognize that build quality shows this hoodie is delivering on the durability and construction front, even if the sizing didn't line up perfectly with what you were hoping for.

We appreciate you taking the time to break down how it's working for you, and that 5-star rating based on the quality really means everything to us!

Hi Brianne,

Thanks for the detailed feedback about THE HEAVY HALF ZIP HOODIE and for sharing your husband's experience with the fit and sizing! We're glad to hear that he loves the hoodie and that it's working well for his work needs.

We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the sizing and shrinkage concerns, especially the specific details about how it fits your husband at 6'1" and 185 lbs. Your feedback about the hoodie running small initially and then shrinking further after following care instructions gives us valuable insight into how our sizing recommendations and fabric behavior are affecting the long-term fit and comfort, particularly in the arm length and overall snugness.

Thank you for your valuable input about sizing up for anyone between sizes and the specific measurements that would help other customers make better sizing decisions. This helps us focus on evaluating our sizing guidance and fabric pre-treatment processes to ensure we're setting accurate expectations for both initial fit and post-wash dimensions!
