JIBERISH, FIX YOUR FUCKING HOODIES

Remember when [tag=219615]@Jiberish[/tag] used 80/20 cotton/poly, and full poly ribbing/cuffs? Remember when their hoodies actually had some elasticity? I remember. First 2 pics of my brothers of the blade hoodie, 2013 maybe? Doesn't stay stretched out, so if I actually wanted to ski in it, the hoodie would hold onto the gloves, but return to their original size after taking them off.

Below is a tech hoodie or whatever stupid name they gave it, which basically means the hoodie and pouch are made with some lighter and less durable material, that effectively turns the hood into a wind sock. What really bugs me is that they've transitioned to full cotton hoodies, which aren't the worst material overall, but where they really fall short is the cuffs and waist. Wanna wear your new Jiberish hoodie skiing? Have fun leaving a 2 foot diameter hole where your wrists go. Want to roll up your sleeves? Same fucking deal. It's unbelievable the drop in quality, and when I've asked them directly, they just ignored me and gave a standard answer I'd expect from a corporation. Actually tried to bring up the email but my computer is being dumb. Maybe I'd consider dropping $80 or even a benjamin on the hoodie pictured above, but THIS SHIT?

If any orange names that ride for jiberish wanna send this link to Pete Drago or whoever is running things over there, that'd be real nice. I've owned probably 10 jiberish hoodies, and out of those, 5 were made before they forgot how to make a hoodie that wasn't shit. "Maybe this time it'll be different", but every single hoodie I've purchased from them since the BOTB hoodie has disappointed me. I get they've tried (imo failed) to transition into a hype/streetwear brand, but no one wants to buy a fucking hoodie that gets obliterated in quality by something I could buy at walmart for $6.

If anyone at Jiberish is wondering how to give their failing company a boost, maybe announce that you're going back to the polyester ribbing with some artsy closeups of the cuffs. Maybe throw a slo mo clip of Jonah Williams pulling the cuff over his glove before laying out some kind of sw dub 10 transfer. Idk, I'm an engineer, not in marketing.

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS A CROWN

Just lol at buying jiberish in 2019

Haven’t bought anything from them since like 2015, but I still haven’t found a hoodie that I deem superior to my brothers of the blade hoodie. Lmk if you got any suggestions.
 
Jiberish certainly is not failing. But I agree I have not been tempted by their new stuff in a few years. I don't need 4 xl, but I liked the variety and quality from 2012 and before. I have a closet full of obnoxiously large Jiberish from a long time ago that I wish I bought in proper sizing.

Put the cuffs in a bowl of hot water. They will shrink back

Didn't say they're failing as a company overall, I just meant that 12 year olds on r/streetwear aren't oogling over any of their products like they do supreme, bape, gucci whatever else. Clearly their "look, we have $800 jackets, we're a fancy boutique brand" venture didn't work, cause those same grand cru jackets ended up going on sale for 80% off a few months later. In that regard, yes, Jiberish absolutely failed to transition to a high dollar, high quality streetwear brand.

Hold up, were not gonna talk about how inconsistent their sizing is?

Yeah tru I've had XL hoodies that were right below my waste, and an XL Jacket that's just above my knees. I was so pissed when the Boston store closed cause that was the only way I be sure what I bought would fit.

There seem to be fck tons of people unloading older Jiberish in B/S/T lately

Just an FYI, not sure how often you check it
 
I recently bought a couple hoodies from them for the first time in a long time and I'm also disappointed in them. Although I seem to have the opposite problem - the hoodies are too tight, I'm not stoked on the fit. I got large thinking it would be comfy and baggy, but they feel like a Small/Medium hoodie and the shoulders stick out strangely from the stitching. Hoping they get better as I wear em in I guess.

thinking the ribbing on hoodies will save Jiberish. Good one. Dead brand after 2012

Obvious oldhead is obvious. Didn't say it would save their brand, or at least didn't mean it. If they were actually dead after 2012 then they wouldn't have come out with anything new after 2012.

Changing the material back to what it was would certainly make me consider paying an above average price for a hoodie tho.
