Judging by this picture on the sizing chart page, it looks like they aren't going to be printing zipper hoodies :(

Hasn't that diagram been there for a long time already?



I don't think it's an indication of zipper hoodies or not... if they are printing the zipper ones, I wouldn't expect Threadless to update the diagrams until the day of so they don't ruin the surprise...

I'd rather have non-zipper hoodies, anyway!

Hmmmmm... maybe that is true, but it is unsettling all the same... well to me. *counter-counter protests to whisper*

I think zipper hoodies would be really difficult to print well because of the zipper. I wonder how exactly designs would be printed across the break... there may be alignment issues as well as just a huge break in the designs that go across the chest.

Actually there is a way to print right on the zipper.

I'de prefer a zipper, but I agree they may be too difficult to print.

Hopefully if they do end up printing zipper hoodies they'd use designs that went up one side of the shirt, or print on the back or something... I think it'd be pretty ugly to have the design split in half.

^ true, that is the only point I'll concede with respect to zipper-less hoodies. I really preffer the ones with zips though, I like an open jacket!



It'd be cool to just print smaller versions of designs on one side of the zip.

I don't see a break in the design here, unless you would choose to unzip it. Even then, no matter where your design is on the hoodie, save the back, no one will see it if it's unzipped anyway. Zippers all the way! Wooooo!



P.S. I tend to keep mine zipped up. I like them more because they conform to the body rather than puffing out away from it.

zippered hoodies would raise the price even higher then it already is.

I think that sizing chart photo's been there for ages.

I really hope that they do zippered ones and just work the designs around it or on the back. The pull-overs mess up the wearers hair making it a static mess and they balloon out visually adding 20lbs to the wearer. Not to mention the lack of control in temperature. Zippered hoodies all the way! I really hope threadless takes a chance with them. I'd definately pay an extra$10-15 for a hoodie with a front zip.

If they can do a zipper print nicely, Urban Camo would look awesome on a zipper hoodie. Unzip and have another Threadless shirt underneath :P



The only thing that'd prevent me from buying a hoodie is Customs Canada which would probably tax the hell out of that. :(

It is harder to perform a strip tease in a hoodie without a zipper though.

I would like to see zipper hoodies, that would be fantastic.

There ain't no zipper hoodies coming out. Sorry to burst your bubbles.



They can't even get it thru the screen printer for it might ruin the automatic squee-gee.



And who in the right mind would want a design split in half?

someone already posted a picture of one of the threadless hoodies from someone's flicker account and they aren't zippered

They could do a zipper hoody with a side placement like they did at oddica.

Centered designs rock, and it's much more universal. So they can't just pick side designs to print for hoodies.

I prefer side designs myself.



They are Threadless, they can do whatever they want. Clearly there would be a big marker for zipper hoodies.
