I love this hoodie. It is probably the best hoodie I've ever owned. The texture of the fabric is just the way I like it, the pockets are nice and big, and the hood is also big enough to fit over top of a hard hat.
My only two complaints about the hoodie is that the sleeves and bottom of the hoodie are too long for any given size. Sometimes the hoodie feels very dress-like. My second complaint is that the stretchy material at the end of the sleeves and at the bottom of the hoodie loosen up much too fast. They are both nice and taught after washing the hoodie, but by the end of the day they're all saggy again.
I wish they had made the stretchy material more heavy duty. Other than that great hoodie. I'll be buying another one when this one is ready to be replaced. Hopefully someone at 1620 will read this review and consider my feedback by the time I'm ready to buy another.
Hi James! Thank you for providing your feedback, we will definitely be sharing your review with our product development team.
Got this in large hunter green recently and will write a follow up review once I get this field tested this coming fall/winter. A bit roomier than expected but I can fit a layer under it. Overall well made and practical.
The first thing you notice about the 1620 Full Zip Hoodie is how incredibly well it's made. I'm a farmer, logger, carpenter, maple syrup maker and general outdoors person and I've owned work hoodies from other "work wear" companies. In terms of construction and materials, the 1620 hoodie is superior. Heavy weight cotton, double stitching, attention to detail, high tolerances in the precision of construction - it's all there on display and fully evident. But where it really stands out is in the design. The fit is modern and comfortable but feels like it's built for real work. The hood design is generous and fits easily over ear muffs, winter hats, headlamp, googles and anything else you might attach to your head. It's mid winter in Vermont right now and I've been wearing mine under my insulated coveralls while I plow snow and cut firewood. It's terrific.
My only issue with the hoodie was that the cordura reinforcement on the lower arm and pockets takes some breaking in. It was stiff and unbending for the week of wear but since has broken in nicely. I also found the pocket for your phone inside the larger pocket was a little awkward to access, especially with a glove on. I have an iPhone 12 so a larger phone would be even more challenging to navigate into the pocket. I doubt I will use it much.
As far as fit goes, I ordered a medium which fit my 6' 0", 180 lbs frame very well.
This is the most expensive hoodie I've ever owned but the lifetime warranty, quality of construction and the fact that it's made in the USA sold me on. I have not been disappointed.
Keeps ya warm and dry even in down pouring rain. Great jacket if your thinking of buying it's worth every penny!
I just got this zip hoodie, and wish I got my regular size XL. The reason I went for a size down was because I went by the chest measurements, and luckily my shoulders fit, just barely. I bought it in large also cause the pull over hoodie I bought in XL was very very roomy. So I ended up buying a large pullover as well just to see if it fit, and it did fit better. So I figured the zip hoodie would be the same. ITS NOT. It does fit me, but it’s very snug. If you don’t like a somewhat tight fit, get your normal size. It’s doable, and feels great. So i won’t return it for a size up.but next time I’ll buy my size.
Thanks for making good stuff 1620. I’m slowly building myself a new wardrobe. BUY 1620 products, you’ll never go back to your old fabrics!!!!
