Sewing Skill Level - Confident Beginner
Many confident beginners have successfully shown Alpha Raglan Hoodie to be a perfect entry into MYOG apparel. For best results, a serger is recommended. A zig zag stitch will work but results may vary based on individual skill. This is a great beginner garment pattern. Fleece is forgiving so make a prototype and have fun!
Body Measurements and Fit Guide
Detailed instructions on getting a great fit are included. Sizing covers men's XXS to XL. Two fits are provided per size - a slim active fit and a regular fit. Shown in the gallery, the orange hoodie I'm (6'0" tall, 170 lbs, 39" chest) wearing is a size 39 in Alpha Direct 4028. The black hoodie is the regular fit in Alpha Direct 4008.
Notional custom fit adjustments are illustrated. Womens standard sizing is easily achieved by grading between sizes.
