Yeah! Fuck pullover hoodies. They literally suck. When you get warm, instead of simply unzipping I gotta pull the whole thing off and over my head. Then my Tshirt and hair get messed up and it's a whole thing. Zipups forever. I'll die on this hill.
EDIT: I get it, the consensus is that this is incorrect. I retract my statement.
Surprised no one has said this yet:
This happens when you put zip-up clothing in the dryer. The fabric shrinks and shifts but the metal/plastic zipper doesn't, creating a size mismatch that results in a bulge. Hang-dry your zip-up hoodies instead. I have hoodies that are close to a decade old and still haven't begun to bunch up because they've never seen the inside of a dryer.
This always is happens to my zip-up hoodies, and i've never used a dryer in my life.
I believe it's just that the zipper is stiffer than the fabric, so it does not fold the same way as fabric does.
It could be a badly designed hoodie as well. I started watching a YT channel that examines different clothing brands lately and I learned a lot about how the actual fabric choices and panel shapes affect the comfort of the clothing in ways like this.
going to shift the blame to the industry and not the user.
they overstretch the fabric, so it's bigger and any clothing item can be sold using lest fabric, however most washing will relax the fabric to it's normal size, messing up the garment.
Some of my pants do that, its always a nice game of whack-a-mole trying to get rid of it. Also i dont wear zipper hoodies because i believe in the pull-over superiority
As a long time zip-up wearer and supporter, how is the pull-over better? I always find it way more annoying to put on and take off.
It's like putting on an extra shirt that then clings to your first shirt whenever you want to take it off so you have to work harder to not flash everyone when you take it off. For the zip-up, it just wraps around you and zips up. It's easy on, easy off.
I usually dont take it off and if you do that its much more cozy. Even during the winter i wear short sleeves and a hoodie and then during the summer i just take the hoodie out of the equation.
Speak for yourself, my husband’s hoodie is so comfortable and I will never give it up; except to my husband when he is ravishing me after I came into the bedroom only wearing his hoodie….
