I ordered one of these in green, and finally got to me about a month after ordering. From the reviews online, I thought I had ordered way too big, as I bought a size Large before I read reviews that said the hoodie runs HUGE. I decided to wait for mine to arrive and see if that was the case, and then arrange a return if needed. It was not needed. Either people that review this hoodie normally buy clothing that is sized smaller than normal (basically all non-US based clothing) or App Gear Co changed their sizing, as the Large is spot on with the other large items I wear on my 6’1” 190lb frame.
I hope this helps any who are looking to get one of these. It has an interesting smell, I assume it will fade as I wear it and wash it, but it isn’t bothersome to me so I won’t be annoyed if it stays.Feb 23, 2021 at 12:35 pm #3701110Give it some time; it’ll stretch a bit as it conforms to your body, and then it’ll be somewhat loose. Try not to block it too much after you wash it, either, or it’ll be very large on you.
Feb 23, 2021 at 3:50 pm #3701134Ha, yeah, I have assumed it will get looser as I wear it. But it is not the sleeping gown I expected to receive when I read some of the reviews.
Feb 23, 2021 at 4:06 pm #3701135How did you manage to get one… it’s (and most of the other items) shown ‘out of stock’ on their website for the last 6 months!?? I was wondering how the remain in business?
Feb 23, 2021 at 4:23 pm #3701137Sign up to get their updates. I had to sign up twice, but I bought one when they sent me notification. They stay in business by selling all their product :)
Feb 23, 2021 at 7:11 pm #3701166Note: put your money aside and purchase IMMEDIATELY when you get the notification email.
Feb 24, 2021 at 7:36 am #3701213FWIW, Women’s small dimensions below. Bought as a gift, and haven’t given it yet, so can’t vouch for comfort/fit. Don’t expect my wife to wear in the backcountry. Bought color Blue (Watauga), and haven’t noticed any smell…maybe dye difference? or maybe my sniffer is dead from too many hops.
I really messed up the order due to my mistakes, and Megan at AGC did a great job in straightening it out. Can’t speak highly enough for the customer service.
Feb 24, 2021 at 10:36 am #3701239I ♥️ Megan. She did a great job resolving my issues as well; over and above, as I mentioned in the thread on the subject.
Feb 24, 2021 at 5:25 pm #3701291I am somewhat convinced she is the only person answering emails, as she answered my questions as well. Very pleasant to communicate with.
Feb 24, 2021 at 6:19 pm #3701299They’re a small company, still…and yes, she’s a magical awesomeness-dispensing fairy godmother.
Feb 28, 2021 at 8:38 pm #3701948I’ve done this several times and I’ve not received a single email from them? Everything always shows ‘out of stock’ on their site??
