In the wardrobe / Re: Oversized hooded sweatshirt/fleece

My Oodie was a gift last Christmas, it is heavy the outer layer is sort of velvety and lovely and soft, whilst the inner is a fur fabric of some sort. It certainly is warm, and the cuffs on the sleeve are really snug, however I find it difficult to get off, I need to stand up to pull the hem up towards the waist, then sit down again, and then pull my arms out of the sleeves so in effect I am in a sort of bag and then push the Oodie up over my head from the inside. Now early this autumn I was using this as I was very cold in the evenings and I certainly warmed up and all I had on my top half underneath was a tee shirt. My Oodie has an enormous pocket across the tummy area useful for putting the hands in to keep warm but it does make that area rather thick, and I also have a hood as well, again this is the outer fabric plus an inner lining of the fur fabric.
I think it would quite easy to make something similar, I am intrigued as to how they have got the cuff onto the sleeves it rather looks as though they made a sandwich of the sleeve with the cuff on the inside so when sewn together and turned the right way out there are no raw edges showing at all.
If you want anymore information let me know, I am rather late up today and just off to have my shower, but I can take some photos of various parts of this if that would help - just let me know.
