I’m looking for a high loft hoodie like this one from Melanzana. I’d be fine paying $126 even though it’s kind of crazy, but nothing is ever in stock. Any other companies make a cozy high loft pullover with a hood like that?
The Immersion Research Hot Lap is very similar and uses the same Polartec High Loft 300gsm fabric. It’s the only one listed on the Polartec page specifically for High Loft.
Wintergreen North Wear makes a fantastic high loft Polartec fleece. It’s handmade and the company has a cool history.
Thuja is a Vermont company that makes awesome grid fleece. They’re handmade and locally owned. Check out their website: https://thujavt.com/

Wool is great but a totally different thing from high loft Polartec.
I think Howler Brothers has a similar one.
Check out Mountain Hardware’s offerings. Also, although you’re interested in high loft fleece, consider checking out grid fleece as well. I love it and wear that style all winter long.
Superior Fleece offers custom sizing. They’re a nice couple running a cottage brand.
Vintage Patagonia Rhythm hoodies range from $500-$3000. Also, TAD Gear makes one called a Shag Master.
Consider making an appointment at Melanzana directly if possible.
