"Our hoodies normally run one size bigger than other retailers

if you are normally a medium please get a large"

 

maybe i'm being a bit thick, but surely it should be the other way around?

if their hoodies are bigger than other retailers, then the large is probably an XL by other standards, so you should get a small from them if you're usually a medium?

Yeah I did think that as well. I'm assuming they have just worded that line incorrectly. They said the 'buy the next size up' line a couple of times in the conversation, so I'm more willing to accept that I'd say. I'm always borderline Medium/Large so could get away with either to be honest - and I cant imagine it'll be that different either way. I've plumped for a large. If its wrong I'll give it to someone at the festival who it fits better.

I was more worried about the child/adult conundrum.

Just spoken to them. They said you need to order one size up compared to normal. I'm medium so ordered large.

I can see huge swathes of Glastonbury people wearing these hoodies now. 

You're right Yog. I've just ordered 6! Grey with blue wire. I made an outfit last year, took weeks of sewing. To be fair was a lot fancier than the hoodie. 

Still making a helmet and another jacket this year. The hoodies are for my mates.

Just ordered an extra large.

 

I will let you know how shite it is when it arrives!

[ayecannyaye]

Yep I couldn't resist one of these. Went for a large. Now just need to sort out my pink Katy Perry wig....

[payneruk]

Nice way of hooking people into their website or maybe too many of us buying them from eFests. I did send the link to my friends too so will see if they managed to buy some in time.

I decided not to share it with friends so that when i turn the sucker on whilst they are all off their faces, they have a melt down.

Ah man, they must have reacted to the surge of interest. I might check back in a week (and hopefully the guinea pigs will have their prototypes before committing too )

Well, I have absolutely no connection with them, so they can't really have actively hooked anybody. I was just trawling around on the net earlier looking at various sites and somehow stumbled across that one. I'd say that they have put the price up as a direct result of efesters placing orders today. A classic example of the Supply and Demand Theory.

Nice! 

I had a full light up suit and helmet in 2015. Took me hours to walk 100 metres. Legions of munted people coming up to me to chat! Was hilarious!
