Material and Comfort

Pros:

  • "This hoodie was thicker than I expected, super soft, and very warm!"
  • "It's comfortable, warm, a good feel to the material, zipper, stitches and nice metal aglets."
  • "The wool interior is extremely comfortable."
  • "The material feels very soft and comfortable."
  • "It's very cozy and comfortable."
  • "The inside is completely & entirely covered in softness, including the inside of the sleeves."
  • "It's really nice hoodie, material is soft."

Cons:

  • "Much too thin, could be worn in heat of summer! No lining whatsoever, let alone 'fleece' as in description."
  • "these sweatshirts are terrible. One wash and they shrunk like 2 sizes. Quality is terrible. They are cheap for a reason."
  • "Fabric gets dirty easily."
  • "I was unhappy about the inside not being soft."
  • "This one is not as good in terms of material, loose threads and overall fit."
  • "It is also a lint and hair magnet."
  • "Reason I took so many stars away is because while it’s comfy and fits how I like it sheds SO bad I can’t wash it or wear it with anything without it becoming a mess."

Fit and Size

Pros:

  • "The large is comfortably roomy without being too big."
  • "I like the fit, I'm a plump dude but this fit well."
  • "I got a small, and it fits within the variation of smalls, so I'm satisfied with size."
  • "The fit was good as a standard men’s large."
  • "Medium fits me perfectly; a bit on the snug side, but not uncomfortably tight."
  • "The XL tall fits loose enough to cover a mid weight shirt and snug enough to wear a vest over when needed."
  • "Perfect size and they’re so comfy!"

Cons:

  • "I got the biggest size and it doesn’t even cover my butt."
  • "Would not buy again because I can't imagine ordering a XXL."
  • "I ordered my usual size, but the size was way off!! This jacket was much too narrow around my body, and the sleeves WAY too long."
  • "It fits a little small and I gave it 3 stars because it shrank at least two sizes."
  • "It's way too short on the sleeves and the length, and tight around the tummy."
  • "The overall fit is not what you would expect from a hoodie. The length is too short."
  • "Terrible fit. Sleeves are snug, and cuffs are too long. Body length is too short also."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

  • "It's well made and it won't be the last one I buy!"
  • "The zipper is nice and durable."
  • "Five stars for being very affordable and nicely made. Looks good too."
  • "Washes up nice and soft. Didn't shrink."
  • "It fit perfectly and continues to wear well after several washes."
  • "After multiple wash, it still holds up good."
  • "This one gets and deserves the five stars. Very good quality. From the zipper to the quality, thickness and softness of the material."

Cons:

  • "What brings it down to 3 stars is after wearing it for 3 months, the box at the end of zipper fell off in the dryer."
  • "Yeah it's a great hoodie it's warm and versatile and all that. I've bought... three of these so far sequentially. The darn zippers keep breaking in the dryer after a few months."
  • "Just the sleeves shrunk up to about 3/4 length after the first wash and dry."
  • "After washing a couple times it got even shorter."
  • "The cotton will significant diminish this garments ability to retain heat when wet compared to polyester fleece."
  • "The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the zipper pull snapped off after apx 6 months."
  • "Within six months the zipper pulls of two of the three I bought broke off in the dryer."

Design and Style

Pros:

  • "The color was perfect; just like the picture."
  • "I bought one in olive green and one in black, both look good and feel good!"
  • "I like the wide selection of colors/styles."
  • "I wanted a dark red hoody for such a long time, but the red was always too loud or brash. This one is just about perfect."
  • "The color matches what the photos show."
  • "The pink color is not bright which made it perfect."
  • "Like the title says, the fit and comfort is perfect except that the zipper was stitched on backwards. It doesn’t close at all."

Cons:

  • "This color looks orange, but it’s brown."
  • "The only complain is the color is quite different from the picture."
  • "The color advertised said “AQUAMARINE BLUE”, but when I received it, it’s DENIM BLUE."
  • "If it was actually red I would give it 5 stars but it’s more of a burgundy color even though it’s sold as red."
  • "I was expecting the color to be more like the orange that shows up on the screen of both my laptop and smartphone. It is really more like butternut squash with a sprinkle of nutmeg and medium ground."
  • "Although this item felt soft and comfortable, and was a good fit, we ended up returning it as the color was darker than the picture showed."
  • "The only thing I knocked one star from my review is the light heather grey is more like a dark heather grey."

Value and Price

Pros:

  • "I gave it 5 stars because of the value. I was pleasantly surprised to buy an item of this caliber for the price."
  • "It's way better quality than I expected."
  • "All this at a very bargain price."
  • "I think they are a steal at the $15 price."
  • "Overall awesome product without me breaking the bank to afford it!"
  • "These sweaters are comfortable and of a higher quality for the price."
  • "A great quality sweatshirt!"

Cons:

  • "Since when is Amazon a premium brand?"
  • "I bought this a year ago for less than half the price and it wasn’t even on sale."
  • "Used the reorder feature on Prime. No heads up for product changes. Product has changed since the last time I ordered it. NO FLEECE INSIDE!!!"
  • "Really disappointed."
  • "Mountains and mountains of lint kept coming off of these."
  • "Out of 5 sweatshirts bought, 4 of the zippers broke."
  • "Don't buy!!"
