      Hi Maria. US Sales will most likely have tracking numbers available to ensure delivery etc., however there is no easy way for us to provide everyone with a tracking number. We'll be announcing when items will begin to ship (probably end of September, first week of Oct) and if backers don't receive an item we'll then resort to tracking down the hoodie.

      Can we track the shipping once it starts?

      PLEASE SEND COMMENTS REGARDING SIZING BY EMAIL THRU KICKSTARTER - Not the comment board. Click the CONTACT link and email us! If you wear a size M, buy a M. If you wear a S, buy S. If you're borderline in size, we recommend going up one size. These hoodies are not baggy. Photo of black/blue hoodie is a size M on a 6" 180lb guy.

      Hey I replied to the color of the hoodie and I put that I wanted it black/blue, but I change my mind to black/red. Is it still possible for me to get black/red? I would love it if it isn't too much of a hassle.

      I have a medium Zoo York....

    6. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Steve Barry on August 20, 2012

      Well, I have a Hollister Medium, but that's a little large for me. I've already sent a message to you asking if you could change the order to a small because I think that it would suit better.

    7. Ma%20pic.small

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on August 20, 2012

      What size US hoodie do you normally wear? I'm going to guess 37" is a small and 38" probably a small too, might be able to do a medium depends on how you like the fit. Check the hoodies you currently own. Our sizing is US Men's.

    8. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Alphonse Rigor on August 20, 2012

      I'm a 37" chest....I still don't know which one to choose..need help..

    9. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Steve Barry on August 19, 2012

      So if I'm a 38" chest, what one would you suggest?

    10. Ma%20pic.small

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on August 19, 2012

      The chest sizing is from arm pit to arm pit, across the front. If you are thinking like a suit, double the number. But remember, sizing for a hoodie should be larger than a suit or dress shirt.

    11. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Steve Barry on August 19, 2012

      Quick Question: What does the measurement for the chest correspond to? Is it the front/front + sides/back or whatever? I just don't want to buy a hoodie that's too small or too big.

      Thanks in advance.

      Are the hoodys sizes standard US mens? because the size in inches and cm seems to be quite smaller than usual.

      @Leland - Photos of the blue can be found on the project page, its the same blue.

      Dude even with this extreme heat, I will still show off this awesome hoodie because this design is epic! lmao

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on August 7, 2012

      @Eric - We haven't sent out the questionnaire just yet. The goal is still about 30 days from the date Kickstarter ended, or about August 18.

    17. Missing_small

      Creator Professor Snake on August 7, 2012

      Just wondering if you have sent out the questionnaires yet. I haven't received one and I dont want to miss out!

      Creator Peyton Herrmann on August 4, 2012

      I just realized
      Whats the back look like? Is there any color on the back?
      I hope there is.
      Btw second on the secret pockets.

    19. Missing_small

      Creator Juan on July 27, 2012

      i can't wait for my hoodie! an epic design man! i will buy more if i love the designs like these.

    20. Ma%20pic.small

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on July 21, 2012

      Hey Eric - The only pockets are those featured on the front. We'll keep your suggestions in mind for future Hero HoodieZ! Thanks for the feedback!

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Professor Snake on July 19, 2012

      Does this hoodie have any other pockets besides the front two? I think it would be really cool if this hoodie had some secret pockets on the inside of the hoodie. You could add two cell phone sized pockets to the inside of the hoodie as extra "utility" pockets.

      So glad you guys can make it. My kid wanted it.

    25. Ma%20pic.small

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on July 16, 2012

      Hey Eric.
      1. You'll get a survey requesting size, color, and mailing address.
      1b. We'll provide a size chart so you know it will fit.
      2. We'll be making production samples in red and blue so you can select the color, or colors, you want.

    26. Missing_small

      Creator Professor Snake on July 15, 2012

      Two questions. 1: Should we expect an email pertaining to size and color after the Kickstarter ends? and 2: Can we pleeease see one of these in red if they exist? I'm really having a hard time deciding which color combo I want to go with.

    27. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Robert Cowry Jeffries on July 11, 2012

      Totally excited!

    28. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Kinnon Paterson on July 11, 2012

      Thanks for making these available, looking forward to choosing from the size and color options once the drive is finished. It's possible a little last minute, but having a longer sleeve with a thumb hole like icebreaker tops might be an interesting option as opposed to traditional cuffs. Just spitballin' , I'm looking forward to this no matter what. 8¬) All the best.

    29. Missing_small

      Creator Professor Snake on July 11, 2012

      Hey, Im just wondering if you could show us a picture of the red and black hoodie. Im really torn between the two. Blue and black looks really good, but I wouldnt want to make the decision without comparing the two.

      WOOHOO! Glad to see you guys hit 100%. Can't wait to get my hoodies and see what you do next. (at least I'm hoping another one comes after this) If you are going to do another one, may I suggest a more simplified version of this costume: http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/irredeemable_001b.jpg ;)

      Keep spreading the word, Steve! We're so close!

      This had better get funded, because I need that hoodie on so many levels.

    38. Ma%20pic.small

      Creator Michael Alen LLC on July 6, 2012

      Blue and Red option are the same pattern. Just swap red for where you see blue. It is unfortunately too expensive to do multiple patterns. Our hoodies are piecework, not screenprint.

    39. Missing_small

      Creator Brian Torrente on July 5, 2012

      Does the red one look like the new 52 nightwing or does it look like the blue one but colored red?

    40. Missing_small

      Creator David Kornfield on June 25, 2012

      Awesome move with the red option. Just upgraded to two hoodies. Will keep posting this around. Great project!

      We've made hoodies in the past with both US and overseas facilities. Where this product will be made depends on their abilities to produce the product in a timely manner and meet our quality expectations. The overseas facilities we've used have been inspected by 3rd parties and are not "sweatshops".

    43. Gmf_logo.small

      Creator Gerolf Nikolay on June 20, 2012

      Where will they be made in? Made in USA?

      Creator Jon Stump on June 19, 2012

      FYI if the two hoodie option were for one in Blue and one in Red (like the new costume. I'd be ALL over that.
