Hanes EcoSmart Crewneck Pullover Sweatshirt Reviews Summary

Fit and Sizing

Pros:

• "The fit was good, a little loose at the hips but I bought to wear around the house so I want it comfortable."

• "It fits like I like them, not to big or to tight over a tee shirt."
• "The hem sits at my hips. Slim fit for a sweatshirt."

Cons:

• "The length of the Jacket and the Sweatshirts only came to middle of waist."
• "Both the XL & XXL were the same length (too short) just wider."
• "The sweatshirt is a good fit on your chest and abdomen but the sleeves are very tight."
• "The trunk of this sweatshirt is a boxy fit, which I like, but the sleeves are short and tight."
• "The bottom band is as loose as the body of the sweatshirt, which makes it look boxy and shapeless."

• "I have bought 3 of these sweatshirts within the past 2 months and they're wonderful."

Cons:

• "Does pill after some washes."
• "The quality is horrible. I bought a pink one and after washing it, it ruined all my other clothes."
• "In less than a month of material has already begun to pill."
• "They start piling and color fades after the first washing and just continues to get worse."
• "They are the type of material that no matter how much you wash will always shed."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "Exactly what I was looking for in a crewneck, and great for the price."
• "I love these tops and will buy more."
• "This is an adorable sweatshirt!!"
• "The neckline is round and flattering, showing a bit of collar bone."
• "Simple, comfortable and even stylish."
• "I LOVE the neckline, it's not too tight like unisex sweatshirts can be."
• "Love the thinner weight. Slightly wider neck opening and slight crop."

Cons:

• "Sleeve width wasn’t proportional to body of the shirt; sleeve was wider from shoulder to elbow, looked odd."
• "The shoulders are very wide and the seam is thick so it's firm along the seam and creates an awkward boxy oversized silhouette at the top."
• "The neck line is really wide which I don’t necessarily like."
• "The band around the wrist is not stretchy so I could barely pull up my sleeves."
• "The shoulder part of the sleeve is a little too full and adds volume that I didn't like."
• "Did not even try it on - the triangle detail at front neck is off center, neck is horribly lopsided. This should not have passed QC."
• "The sweatshirt is a little boxy and loose but looks intentional- not oversized."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I love this sweatshirt. The price is right, and the fit is right for the look I was going for."
• "This sweatshirt is great, especially for the price."
• "For price great sweatshirt, soft lining inside."
• "It was reasonably price and good quality."
• "Love the price, needed an everyday sweater."
• "Great value for the price."
• "GREAT value."

Cons:

• "this isn't the same quality as Hanes - do not recommend - going to return."
• "There is definitely no quality control on the sizes!"
• "But what do you expect for $14? It is ok for my purposes, but when I saw 'Hanes,' I had expected a better product."
• "On the other hand, it was very inexpensive, so you get what you pay for."
• "Save your money and buy another sweatshirt elsewhere!"
• "IMO $18 is overpriced for what it is but if it were less expensive, I’d buy in other colors, too."
• "I bought them during a Prime day or when they were on sale so it was definitely worth it."
