Tags: desmond hoodie
As promised the Desmond hoodies are now offically back, and available for preorder in our store. You’ll notice that instead of having and S to XXL range of sizes, this time around the sizes go from XS to XL, so that our small fans can get hoodies to!
Last but not least, we thank you all for your patience and support!

THANK you guys for restocking. With the misfortune of losing my package in the mail the last time I ordered the jacket, I’m relieved I have a chance to get one again.
yeebeme said on January 20, 2012
Oh man, please still be in stock in a few weeks time when I have gathered enough money. My fingers are crossed.
hedesmondmeregi said on February 5, 2012
I just gathered up enough money but they’re all out mof my size…. medium, large, and extra large.

chariflame said on January 20, 2012
Snapped up both of them! Thanks so much for doing a second batch, this is really exciting.
kuro said on January 20, 2012

Kazena said on January 29, 2012
AHHHH hahah i know right? XD im getting paid soon so i will have the money! but the panic about it is that i have to wait liek 2 or 3 days lol
patrickeye said on January 20, 2012
Sooooooo happy I grabbed one! Thank you again for the restock!
freddy616 said on January 20, 2012
Got the white one
but i hope they last long enough so I can get moar money and get the black hoodie.
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
i hope so too ^^ <3
seith said on January 20, 2012
I still don’t know if I could take the black in S ou XS..
blitzfox said on January 20, 2012
I agree, choosing between the Small and Extra-small was very difficult. I tried to determine the best fit by comparing the measurements from the Desmond Hoodie Size Chart to another hoodie size chart from a hoodie that I already own (the D3 Tyrael hoodie from jinx). Even though the Tyrael hoodie is a small, it’s still a little bit loose on me. So I took that info and compared the numbers.
As for the XS measurement chart, I know it hasn’t been posted just yet but (despite being mildly allergic to math) I followed the size-difference formula of the Desmond Hoodie Size Chart: For each size down, subtract a certain number of inches, so Chest (-4) should be 34″, Body Length (-1) should be 27″, Sleeve Length (-1) should be 32″, Waist (-4) should be 30″. So I’m guesstimating that the XS sizing would most likely be: Chest: 34″, Body Length: 27″, Sleeve Length: 32″, Waist: 30″. Now, again this is just a *guess* about the XS size, i could definitely be wrong. If so, someone please correct me! o_o;;
Hope that helps a bit. ;)
gallifreyassassin said on January 20, 2012
Last time, there was a picture of a small-ish woman wearing a medium, so you’d have to be pretty small to not fit small or extra small. I’m 5’1 and twig skinny and went for the small. I think the worst that could happen is it being a bit baggy, which is completely okay with a hoodie anyway. Don’t want it to be too short. -shrugs-
Plus I have a men’s hoodie that’s a medium and it fits pretty well, so the smaller sizes should be perfect. So, I think if you want it to be tighter, get the extra small, and if you want it a bit roomier, get the small.
myintentions said on January 21, 2012
XS seems still big for me lol I’m 5′ 5″ and 32″ sleeves will be 4″ too long after measuring myself. I have weird proportions(legs are longer compared to upper). Got it anyway. Hoping it shrinks a little in the wash. I’m into slim fitting clothing so if it doesn’t work out i’ll try and get it tailored.
blitzfox said on January 22, 2012
Hmm, I also don’t see the picture there now, but I’m assuming it was the same lovely lady who is featured in the white hoodie trailer (and frequently models epic Ubi items)? I agree that she definitely is slender, my only concern is that the Medium appears rather large on her. It’s hard to tell because the sleeves are pushed up (though I must add her tattoo sleeve is awesome). ^_^
I wish there was an UbiWorkshop store where we could try things on. :D
blitzfox said on January 22, 2012
(Edit: I see the photos of her now! My apologies, I must have missed them before. It would be wonderful to see her in a Small (and perhaps even an XS if that’s reasonable?) for comparison, since the Medium looks a bit large on her slender frame.)
quinstar said on January 23, 2012
I second this request. The M does look too large for her through the shoulders, but the waist seems to fit well. I’d love to see her in the S for reference.
pimenteljm said on January 24, 2012
@seith which one are you going to buy for the black one? i got my white one in medium and damn it’s big.
quinstar said on January 24, 2012
Do you mind me asking how tall you are if the M is big on you?
blitzfox said on January 26, 2012
I also second this request! The more stats we can get on these hoodie sizes the better! :D
imonthenet said on January 20, 2012
Oh man lawdy!!! Gotta get some money together but hoping they’ll still be there when I do!!
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
thats how i feel right now XD
megajenkins said on January 20, 2012
Yay. I sure hope these get shipped before May. I got the white one with eagle
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
me too! when i order them, i really hope to get them before my boyfriends birthday XD
pedgz said on January 20, 2012
got one question regarding this second production run: will it have a distinguishing mark/feature that says it is a “second production run/second edition” of sorts? like in printed media it tells readers if it’s a second printing, second edition, etc.
heck, if i am to show off any of my ac merch anyway, ‘d like to show off that i own a “first production run” desmond hoodie.
gallifreyassassin said on January 20, 2012
You’d probably be better off e-mailing them a question like that, but I have all the Desmond Shirts and none of them are first production run except the Black one, and none of them have any evidence of being less than first production run, so I’d assume not.
patrickeye said on January 21, 2012
I had the exact same question! Would love to know if you get a response!
blitzfox said on January 20, 2012
I truly can not thank you all enough for giving us a second chance at owning one of these stylish and badass hoodies! (Especially with the addition of an extra-small size option!) I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to order white one for me, and a black one as a birthday present for my dashing assassin. (I’ve already told him –– to prevent him from unknowingly purchasing one for himself as he’d planned –– and he’s quite excited.) ^_^
Thank you again!
gallifreyassassin said on January 20, 2012
I have literally stockpiled the money for both of those gorgeous hoodies since last time when my dad missed the deadline by a few days to get the white one for my birthday.
Obviously, I bought them immediately.
SO EXCITED.
You guys are my heroes right now. I don’t even care if I have to wait until May to get them. I’M JUST SO EXCITED THAT I DIDN’T MISS THEM THIS TIME. -skips-
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
hahah reading this made ME excited XD and happy belated birthday ^^
cheaner said on January 20, 2012
I bought a large Black Hoodie. I’m 5’9″ 165lbs and hope I made the right choice… I hope it’s not too baggy. But I do have a built figure as I workout quite a bit and have a bigger upper body.
Anyways…glad the hoodies are back!
patrickeye said on January 21, 2012
I’m 5’11″ and 165. Slender/slim and the medium is snug on me. Given your self-description I think you’ll find the large a comfortable fit, but not baggy at all.
blitzfox said on January 26, 2012
If you don’t mind my asking, how is the sleeve length for you on the medium? ^_^
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
im 5’5” & 140 lbs, but i am getting the large anyway ^^ haha i would get the med, but jsut so i can get your view on it, do you think that it would be too big for me or too small?
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
PFFFT TOO SMALL AH! stupid question
crashingechelon said on January 21, 2012
Are you going to bring the XXL back? I missed the first run of these an was excited about the second run but now you don’t have my size
catpclike said on January 21, 2012
Thank you! Thank you UBiWorkShop!!<3
I ordered!:)
grenddel said on January 21, 2012
Yes, bring the XXL back! I was excited about the restock and wanted to scoop up both colors, but my size is gone!
crashingechelon said on January 21, 2012
Here’s to hoping they hear our cries
mysticheero said on January 21, 2012
Thank you very much @ubiworjshop for this. I bought mine straight away and now can’t wait for May to arrive XD
altair said on January 21, 2012
Thanks for re-stocking. I already have the reversible and pre-ordered these two as soon as I got the newsletter reminder.
jeremywee said on January 21, 2012
I can’t seem to decide between Small or XS. I’m about 5’5″. According to my approximate measurements: Chest: 35″, Body Length: 22″, Sleeve Length: 26″, Waist: 34-35″.BTW: I did ask the ubisoft team for advice, and they said:
The Small is likely to provide you with more space to move if you want to wear it for extreme activities.
The X-Small will be a lot closer to your body and you will not be able to do layering in case of extreme weather
The choice is really mine!
I also may find my chest and waist suitable for size S but body length and sleeve length may be long for me. (These chart measurements are kinda awkward)
PS: I have the small Ottoman t-shirt and it fits me just nicely (as in just-fitting, as where the shoulder stitches meet my shoulders)
If any assassins out there can help me make an informed decision, lets work together.
Thanks
blitzfox said on January 26, 2012
Don’t worry, you’re definitely not the only one with the same dilemma. We’re asking other assassins who already own hoodies from the first batch for some input about sizing to help us. ;)
kiatutu said on January 21, 2012
maka said on January 21, 2012
Are these really shipping in May? That will make me sad because I really wanted to wear this hoodie during the winter when it’s relavent.
najohn said on January 21, 2012
Will the reversible hoodies be put into reproduction again?
yeebeme said on January 21, 2012
I had the same question. I really hope they come back eventually. The reversibles look really nice
Jerociraptor said on January 27, 2012
It is not likely that we’ll ever do a repeat for the Reversible hoodie. Even though it was my personal favorite, the people preferred both eagle versions.
yeebeme said on January 29, 2012
Raquiescat in pace reversible hoodie
loki said on January 21, 2012
Hm.
Be right back, going to sell my kidney. Or become a minstrel, whatever leaves less scars.
lisuchan said on January 23, 2012
I’d go with the kidney, being a minstrel is life threatening!
brylock said on January 21, 2012
I might grab another black one, this time in a small for costuming. The medium I have is loose enough on me to layer with everyday wear, but doesn’t really have the tailored lines I’d like.
blitzfox said on January 26, 2012
If you don’t mind my asking, would you kindly tell me how tall you are? We’re all trying to gather some stats about the differences between the XS, S, and M sizes. ^_^;
And do you find the sleeves too long on the Medium for your height? ._.
spence1974 said on January 21, 2012
may huh?but its not cold n may.
cheaner said on January 23, 2012
That’s what I’m saying. :/
xnothingistruex said on January 21, 2012
Thank you thank you thank you!
Good lord I’d sell my soul for these… as it is I’ll probably give my whole month’s pay just cos the shipping is bloody ridiculous on top and there are other items I desperately want. BULK BUY TIME!
But really, it’s such a shame shipping to the UK has to be so painful.

i missed my first chance but my time is comin!
shadez13 said on January 22, 2012
Yes i ordered my
hoodie and now hopefully they are on their way XD
(run)
looneytexan said on January 22, 2012
i have my desmond hoodies from the 1st batch. i noticed that my black desmond hoodie (without eagle) has a more generous fit compared to the one with the eagle embroidered onto it, with the latter being a little more form fitting. so if anyone of you own the black hoodie without the eagle and the sizing is just about right, you might find the one with the eagle a little smaller….
or maybe mine was just sized wrongly..
still works for me though. i can only wear the embroidered one on my non-fat days. haha.
lthegreat said on January 22, 2012
Yes now I just need the encyclopedia and I’m set
lpelvis said on January 22, 2012
OMG is the white w/ eagle xl sold out it says not available.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I ordered the black one but i still need the white one
ishthegreat97 said on January 22, 2012
when will the assassins creed encyclopedias be available again. chrislewis said that there will be a round 2 for both the hoodies and the encyclopedia. round to for hoodies is on but when will the encyclopedias round 2 come?
robert2itu said on January 26, 2012
Hey man they did restock on the encyclopedia, they restocked the same exact time as the hoodies. I ordered mine as soon as I got the e-mail notification…they just sold out that quickly. Look at the picture too, it’s different, meaning it was updated. It really sucks..
tylerpayton said on January 22, 2012
just order mine so excited
womanizer92 said on January 22, 2012
WTF!? How are you guys sold out of XL already!? It’s only been 2 fricken days.
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
makes you think right?
mistressmaryd said on January 23, 2012
Thanks so much for restocking! I’m so excited I can get one this time around; I missed out last time cuz I was broke. I ordered as soon as I got the preorder email for newsletter members! I can’t wait!
raeannalavolpe said on January 23, 2012
THANK YOU FOR THE RESTOCK! But please dear god let it hold till the end of the month!
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
it has done good so far hahah XD
bpdunc said on January 23, 2012
Thank you for restocking, and also thank you to wonga.com for tiding me over til the end of the month and allowing me to get one of each!!!
neoofthedark said on January 23, 2012
I was kinda hoping to order some backup hoodies….but it seems the XL option is already out.
vaneticorum said on January 24, 2012
We can’t say it enough. Thank you!
lthegreat said on January 24, 2012
yes the hoodies are out now just need to wait for the encyclopedia
redchessie said on January 24, 2012
I hope they’re still there on Friday, I’ve been waiting for the second round for months and months!
How exciting
kompas said on January 25, 2012
AWSM Hoodie is awsm!)
yeebeme said on January 25, 2012
Should be able to order one soon, hopefully it’s still here by the time I can. Like many, I’m counting on the fact that some people are holding out until they get paid. Soon my friends. Soon.
mysteriousducky said on January 25, 2012
This came just in time near the Chinese New year. So ha! Chinese Red packet Money win!
blitzfox said on January 26, 2012
Awesome! And Happy Year of the Dragon! :D
yeebeme said on January 26, 2012
Yes! 恭禧發財
assassinprodigy1 said on January 26, 2012
AWSOME!
altair said on January 26, 2012
I wonder if Daniel Cross will have a more distinct hoodie (trying to avoid spoilers here)….or apparel in The Chain and whether that would be available to buy. Personally I feel Desmond hoodies > Anything Daniel would wear….or maybe I’m just not that fond of Daniel.
creed said on January 26, 2012
Actually wondering here, but why did you take out XXL? I’m 6’2”, have the original white you guys sent me, but I wonder why you took it out?!!!
chrislewis said on January 26, 2012
Well we had a lot of people asking for XS so we decided to satisfy them this time around.
grenddel said on January 28, 2012
Will you ever restock the XXL at a later date? Or make some available this time? We need some love too!!!!
majaworren said on January 26, 2012
Yes, finally XS :D Now, all I need to do wait until I get the money, hoping that it won’t be completely sold out by then :/ And then I need to get the encyclopedia… So much awesome, with such a thin wallet x.x
quinstar said on January 27, 2012
Well, just ordered M and S. Couldn’t get a good feel for the measurements. Hopefully I can just sell whichever one doesn’t fit.
ishthegreat97 said on January 28, 2012
i got the assassin’s creed encyclopedia(not from this site) and read all 3 issues of ac the fall(for free not from this site) the end is Sooooooo surprising!
Kazena said on January 29, 2012
hahah my friend told AND linked me on facebook about them coming back into stock, just in time for me to plan out how i am going to pay for them and how much money i will have left once i get paid lol XD i have got to stop being lazy! i missed them the last time because it was the holidays and my family were more important than the hoodies at the time, but when i had the money they were out of stock. and now they are restocked! so now i can get the ones that i REALLY wanted.
but i would have to say that the only thing that i didn’t like about the reversible one was that there were no pockets. :/ but if that gets restocked, i will pick it up soon ^^ it will be a “i dont have to go anywhere” hoodie lol XD its just a small complaint and im sure other people have complained about it but ehh its just one complaint, about something that can be sure to happen in the future. XD i really hope these hoodies come with washing instructions, and i am about the size of the female model, but i am getting a large anyway ^^
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH (i apologize for my bad spelling lol)
magicorubik said on January 29, 2012
Thanks you guys for restocking the hoodie
!!!
zerocounts said on January 29, 2012
I wish I could’ve gotten one of the XL’s. My birthday was on the 21st and my mom was gonna pick it up for me while I was outta town. When she logged on to get it, they were gone.
I’m totally praying for a restock, or even a special order or something.
azfreerunner said on January 30, 2012
It said expected shipping in may 2012 will it really take that long to recieve it? Also i wear a med shirt size so i usually will get a large for a hoodie but the large looks way to big not sure how it will fit
veritasxaquitas said on January 30, 2012
So just to make sure if I understand if I get the wrong size I’m screwed cuz there is no exchange? Seems harsh
cairoandres3012 said on January 31, 2012
We get to make the hardest decision ever…the size of our hoodies
angrycustomer said on February 1, 2012
Alright, I seriously made an account just so I could comment on this.
Here is my beef with YOU (the customers) and YOU (Ubisoft)
Selfish/greedy customers: No wonder these things go out of stock so quickly. People that ALREADY HAVE ONE are buying one or two more again. Explain to me why you are buying more? Unless you’re first one is either ripped up or heavily damage, let everyone else get a chance to buy one before you get your greedy paws on another.
Some people Have been trying to buy one for months now, and it only angers us to see comments such as “OH I BOUGHT TWO OF EM! OH ANOTHER ROUND? LOOKS LIKE I’LL HAVE TO SNATCH UP A COUPLE MORE!!”. Like I said, you only need one jacket. Unless you wear two jackets at the same time, then gtfo.
Andddddddddd Ubisoft…. Ok, seriously what the hell. These overpriced pieces of cloth have literally been out of stock for months. And then you finally decide to announce that they’re back in stock, but oh wait, only for pre-order… and they won’t ship till May… WHEN IT’S NOT COLD OUTSIDE ANYMORE!
Idiots. I was planning on buying the black eagle hoodie, but I’m not now. What the hell good will it do in May?
Also, it doesn’t take months at a time to manufacture hoodies. Speed it up a little, would ya? Assholes.
lordarcana said on February 1, 2012
kuro said on February 1, 2012
You are the real asshole here.
Without even knowing half as much as you should about UbiWorkshop you just make assumptions and throw a hissy fit cause you weren’t able to get one or because they ship in March, like only a child would.
UbiWorkshop are NO apparel factory (I need to repeat this over and over again for guys like you). There are only 2 people handling the shipping so they cannot just open orders all the time, it would flood them. You should be glad they even made the hoodies.
Which also answers why the hoodies are expensive, cause they aren’t mass-manufactured. Also they don’t just take some hoodie and add a zipper and the emblem, they have the hoodies made especially for UbiWorkshop.
As for the customers: They buy 2 in case one is damaged (since they aren’t sold all the time, as you stated). Also they are buying more than one ’cause there are different versions. (reversable, one without print, black, white)
So know the facts before you go all “auugh, rage” and make stupid comments like this.
lordshishio said on February 2, 2012
looneytexan said on February 2, 2012
why are you so mad? after may, fall and winter will come around again and you can wear the hoodies then.
alucard said on February 2, 2012
to the armature complaining
1- people can buy as many hoodies as they like, it could be as gifts, back up, OCD issues. if you want one, then get in line and order like everyone did and be very grateful that ubiworkshop had teh time to make a quality professional hoodie, most companies will print a boring title name on a hoodie and sell. again: be thankful it was actually released, they do this with passion, if you own one you will understand, unless you are 14 years old.
efthimis123 said on February 2, 2012
is medium desmond hoodie out of stock because when i am going to the store it says it is please tell me that it is not out of stock so that i can order it
lordshishio said on February 3, 2012
Yup, afraid so
But medium is still available for the black Desmond hoodie
ezioauditorefan505 said on February 4, 2012
Now if they can only make the hoodies with beaks that would be awesome!!!!!
alucard said on February 6, 2012
i am thinking of getting an extra one to experiment on! i will ad a Beak and maybe the neck points (just as ezio looked in brotherhood ( http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcfx88xedj1qcvhxyo1_500.jpg ) seriously if they release this design with a zipper just like the black and white hoodie add a beak and the neck point and voila: instant sold out!
:Grin:
we need to push the Design Team more
huskygiru said on February 6, 2012
You know what number looks great: 3… Yeah I missed the third round by like two days (medium) and I really want it… I have the money and everything… So please ubiworkshop do more white medium hoodies
(and yeah I don’t want black because I live in the tropical -.-
huskygiru said on February 6, 2012
second*
najohn said on February 12, 2012
So what is the sizing for XS?
