My Zelda Jumper arrived today and it is really good quality. The design is lovely and it does not feel like a cheap piece of crap. The design does not feel too Christmas esque so can be worn as a normal jumper and not look weird. But It is quite a tight fit. I am usually size L on jumpers but had to exchange for a size XL. The sleeves were very tight and it was generally a little too tight/small. Just a heads up.
Edit: So as a final update. The XL size was a good fit for me. But if you are normally XL sized I would say that even the XL size would be too small. Was smaller and tighter than any XL sized jumper I have tried. As shown bellow you probably need to go a size up from what you usually get.
Edit 2: So returning the wrong sized jumper cost me £4.40 via royal mail 1st class recorded. Which is recommended as it covers your purchase up to £50. So keep in mind if you buy the wrong size or buy a few different sizes to find the right one that it will cost you £4.40 per item. (I think 2nd class not recorded was £3.30 but I can't quite remember. So yeah that is an extra cost to keep in mind. Bit annoying as their clothing is just blatantly smaller than the size they claim. Even when going by the measurement guide on their site.

Not sure why Nintendo are labelling these as "jumpers" - besides the one Zelda one, the rest are just printed sweatshirts.

Haha thanks. I remember when I was a kid buying official merch for stuff like Halo (I was a very cool kid as you can imagine aha) and being super disappointed by the quality. Felt like I paid a premium price just for the design and nothing else. This was a nice change of pace.

Shame no children sizes, what's up with it? adults won't wear it, and even size S is way too big for an 8 year old.

Yeah they are aiming for the 15-25 age demographic. I am 22 and I think that you can get away with wearing them. But totally personal taste.

Thanks @purechoass !
I'm buying the Zelda one for a tall, normal build woman. Do you think the XL size will be okay? I've ordered t-shirt from the Store before and they ranged from normal to tiny!

Hey there, I can't really say to be honest. I am a stocky/chubby male but I found the fit to be smaller than I expected. I usually go for L with jumpers but It was quite tight around the arms and was certainly a tight fit.
But honestly I think for a normal build woman XL might be too big. I'd get two and keep the one that fits well. Basically get one size down from what you would usually get when buying Jumpers/Sweatshirts.
I am in the process of returning the jumper that I originally got (which was too small). I will let you know how the return process is once I hear back from Customer Service. :smile:

Got one last time they were on offer last year, decent jumpers worth the sale price. Nothing more.

I'm all for Nintendo themed chunky Xmas jumpers, but these are - as commented above - printed sweatshirts, cheap ones at that.

I don't know about the other ones. But the Zelda one is very good quality and is Knitted I think. Does not look like a print.

What's the material? 100% artificial scratch fest?
Edit: The Zelda "proper" jumper is 50% cotton; 50% acrylic according to other websites.
The other sweaters appear to be 80% Cotton Belcoro® yarn, 20% Polyester

Zelda one does not feel itchy and I am usually quite prone to the curse of itchy jumpers. Will update once I have worn it for a while.

Anyone bought one of these? My experience with Nintendo sizes has been terrible. Ridiculously small!

I am usually between M and L....would you recommend go L (or would I even be XL)?

Mario and Luigi? :astonished:
purechoass to gregthepirate
20 Sep 17#23
They are smaller than I expected. I would certainly go for at least L. If it is too small just return it and get the XL.
Keep in mind I do have quite thick arms and I am a little chubby. But L is usually fine for me whereas with the Zelda jumper it felt a lot smaller and tighter than my other L sized jumpers.

Nice first deal :). Still seems a bit pricey for a jumper, but zelda design does look pretty cool.

Thank you! I use this website all the time. It has saved me so much money in the past so I thought it be about time I give back to the community.
The Zelda one is knitted and really looks lovely in person. The other ones from the comments on here are just prints on the material so I think those are a tad pricey.
The way I see it you are paying about a tenner more for the fact that has a Nintendo Design and is offical Merch. I love Zelda to death and on the sale price of thought what the hey. I deserve one nice nerdy piece of clothing! Haha. :smile:

I am sure it will still be on sale for friday. The Zelda jumper came on sale just today. And the others were on sale for a few weeks I think.

In sainsbury's a similar style jumper is between £15-25. So it is on the upper end in terms of cost but I think the cool design and quality make up for it.

Who buys their jumpers from sainsbury's? why not say a similar style jumper is 4x as pricey at harrods? more dramatic. Also cool is relative. I think its still overpriced op fwiw but then i'm not stumping up money for it. And it being Nintendo related it will still sell at double this.
Edit: just scrolled down and i see you've posted some personal pics. Kudos for being brave, this is 2017 hukd it ain't like it used to be. Hoping you make more friends than enemies on here.
Also welcome to Hukd.

Yeah of course it's totally relative. I'm happy though so it's up to everyone else. Technically you are right, it is overpriced. But for me it's worth it if that makes sense.
Yeah without the sale price it's kind of a rip off.
Thank you :-) Haha I know what the internet is.
But isn't it nice to have differing opinions and have a discussion without getting nasty? (Take note internet!).
All the best!

Some pictures of the Large size so you can get and idea of what this looks like. The picture of my arm sort of shows what I mean when I say the jumper sticks quite tightly to my arms.
And if you are a similar build to me the L will probably be too small/tight for you.
Will update tomorrow with more pics when the XL size arrives. Hope this is helpful! :-)

So as a final update. The XL size was a good fit for me. But if you are normally XL sized I would say that even the XL size would be too small. Was smaller and tighter than any XL sized jumper I have tried.

My Zelda jumper arrived today in size medium. It looks nice and colourful and the material is pretty good quality - definitely knitted.
The only problem is the arms are stitched waaay too far from the armpit area, so whenever I move my arms up I look like a manta ray/flying squirrel/wingsuit glider. For that reason I have no choice but to return it
Opening post
The Mario and Pokemon Jumpers are also on sale and delivery is free on orders over £20. I ordered on Sunday and it arrived Wednesday Morning.
Would make a great Christmas gift.
