Google "dirty warhol" and you should be able to track it down. It's made by Rocksmith.

I got one of those trackstar hoodies and the seems on it look like they are starting to frey, and i've only had it for a couple weeks. Is this happening with anyone else's? It hasn't ripped or come apart yet, but it sure does look scary.

Other than that I love it. I've used the rear pockets tons and its nice and tight, with long arms. And the hood is really good too.

Is it Ol' Dirty ******* or is it Coolio? Coolio was my first thought before you said ODB.

My stitching is busting out at the seams after a few months of moderate use. Not built to last as advertised. The search for the perfect trim, long armed hoodie continues. Is it futile?

You must be doing it wrong, somehow...

Mine fits a hair looser than skin tight, meaning it's a ***** to pull on and off, causing undue stress to the stitches on the hoodie, yet it's in perfect shape after having it since they released it.

yeah, trackstar employs kids in the midwest to tell people on the internet that their hoodie holds up to wear and tear.

Seriously, i've known kids that wear out the crotch of their pants through normal wearing, not riding bikes, not doing anything unusual. Some people just don't know how to wear clothes, apparently.


p.s. if trackstar wants to hire me, i'm available.

I haven't read any posts other than the ones on the first page.

Get a lined hoodie from carhart or dickies. I have a carhart, but the dickies are far more comfortable. Get a fleece to wear under or over and you should be fine. I got a wind resistant north face under jacket thing I'm waiting to try out.

i like mine, it does that thing but you can't see out of it so it's not good for places where you might be shot robbed or spat on.

I was wondering. Back in the day-o, I had a champion hoodie (not zip-up). this was 1992. I lost it at some point, and thought about what a great quality product it was. Do they suck now?

no, wearing out a crotch is usually done by people who have an extra layer of fat on their upper, inner thighs. even if this person is skinny, they may have a little bit of chub just below the crotch.

normal wear + fat + junk = premature crotch holes.



you know those girls who, when they walk wearing tight pants, their legs have about ten inches of space between them?


this doesn't happen to those girls.
