Senchi had a drop this morning, I normally do well at this type of sale, but not this time. It started at 9:00, and by 9:01 my first choice was gone, and by 9:02 so was my second choice. Had them in my cart and by the time everything auto-filled and I hit purchase it was too late.
Im still looking for a similar hoodie, so which of the other custom small manufacturers has good reputation and product? I want to stay with a small business to support their efforts.
Thanks

Apr 26, 2022 at 11:52 am #3747669Second Vado. Seem to be better made as well.
Apr 26, 2022 at 11:57 am #3747670If not in a rush, Timmermade could be another option.
Apr 26, 2022 at 3:59 pm #3747695How does the Vado 1/3 Zip Pullover fit? I.E. how stretchy is it? I have a 44 chest, would prefer a snug fit so am leaning toward a L vs XL.
Apr 26, 2022 at 9:49 pm #3747708Mine was made to custom dimensions. I think he’s moved towards stock sizes. I’d ask him, he communicates clearly and is very helpful.

Apr 27, 2022 at 9:40 am #3747733I’m 6’4” 230lbs. Vado XL is a good fit close fitting but not too tight. I generally wear XL or XXL for trimmer athletic fit clothes like RAB. I recommend a zip as well. The balaclava style hoods are somewhat tight around the neck and keep the heat in.
Apr 27, 2022 at 8:51 pm #3747811Thanks, I’d been looking at the Timmermade custom hoody, but not the Vado, wish they still did custom stuff.
I’ll probably order something in the next couple of weeks.
Apr 28, 2022 at 12:41 am #3747827Email Vado. I’ve seen them mention contacting them about custom.
