Ive usually bought champion ($35 ususally) and theyre decent, but theres gotta be other stuff out there. Im looking at as colour right now, because i got a hoodie at a festival from them and its super nice, but theyre $50 each unless you buy in bulk

what brands are out there that wont be a scratchy mess on the inside in one year?

    I dunno about life, but my carhartt heavyweight defenders last years. They get worn to jobsites and get the shit beat out of them.

    I do have one I use for weekends and I think it 3 years old. Maybe 4? It’s faded but no fringe on any of the cuffs. And the hood is nice and deep, side seems too, not one up the center.

      I’d also give it up to Carhartt. As someone who has worked his entire life in the tree business, they are pretty freaking tough. I switched to crewneck, though; got tired of the kangaroo pouch filling with sawdust. One caveat: the sizing skews large—substantially, IMO. At least when the fit says “loose,” in any case.
