Amazon Essentials Crewneck Sweatshirt oatmeal Reviews Summary

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "It fits perfect and looks like a nice long sleeve t shirt more than a sweatshirt."
• "Size Medium runs slightly large but after shrinking in the dryer- it was PERFECT!!"
• "Very soft and true to size (Large, 12-14)."
• "The fit is perfect and true to size in every aspect."
• "Fit is great - loose and comfy, material so soft and cozy."
• "The fit is true to size."
• "They fit great."

Cons:

• "This runs very small compared to other Amazon Essential clothing I've purchased."
• "After the washing, however, the sweatshirt shrank in the wash, though the waist band didn't, so now the waist band is big and the sweatshirt is small."
• "Good fit except the pink one and was tight on the arms even though 2 different ones (blue and green) purchased using the same size guide were a better fit."
• "I have several sweatshirts from this brand, but this one seems to run super small. I actually sized up two sizes, and I felt it still not have much give."
• "They run really small. I’m usually an XL. I ordered an XXL. It’s SO SHORT!"
• "The torso length is slightly too short for my liking."
• "This sweatshirt is light weight and the body of it fits to size but the sleeves are too small on both my daughters."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "The quality is fantastic especially for the price! I will be ordering more!"
• "The construction is good with good stitching."
• "The fabric is mid-weight, with a soft hand."
• "The sweatshirt is made from a super soft blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester."
• "This sweatshirt is so soft & comfortable right from the first wearing."
• "The fabric is thicker than the average sweat shirt, so it's very warm."
• "The material is very soft against the skin, a nice thickness."

Cons:

• "However, I was disappointed because the picture that you show has a white collar inset, and the sweat shirt I got does not."
• "I am disappointed that Amazon advertised this as French Terry when indeed it is not."
• "Inside was soft, outside not as soft as I was expecting, hoping for."
• "This sweatshirt looks cheesey and cheap. It shrunk after first wash."
• "Do not buy these sweatshirts. Even with separate cold water wash and air drying, the fabric pills or balls up."
• "The fabric is rough and very uncomfortable."
• "The fabric is also stiff. Not very soft for a sweatshirt."

Comfort and Feel

Pros:

• "This sweatshirt is so soft, cozy and snuggly."
• "Material feels soft and it's generally very comfortable to wear."
• "It's warm and comfortable, and the navy cheetah pattern is subtle but cute..."
• "The sweatshirt is soft and cozy. I like that there’s no hood since I can use it for lounging."
• "I LOVE this sweatshirt - it is so soft (inside and out) and feels way more expensive than $20!"
• "This sweatshirt is comfortable and soft even after a couple washes."
• "It is super soft and comfortable."

Cons:

• "After trying it on, I discovered it was a unisex sweatshirt. All though sold as a women's garment, it's better suited for the shape of a man."
• "The striped colors don't have nearly the amount of stretch to them as the solid colors."
• "This one was tight in the shoulders and kind of stiff for a sweatshirt."
• "It has no stretch and the body is boxy while the arms are tight."
• "The little armholes at the wrist can hardly be pushed up an inch maybe two, will never be able to push up to the elbows."
• "The shoulders are broad and waist is narrow kinda like quarterbacks."
• "But after one wear and wash, it is already pilling under the arms and on the torso. Not even worth the 25 dollars in my opinion."

Washing and Durability

Pros:

• "They wash and dry well."
• "I have also washed them more than once already and they still look good."
• "It launders well and hasn’t shrunk a bit after several washes."
• "Love this sweatshirt. I wear it all the time. I've washed it numerous times and it still looks brand new."
• "I have this Amazon Originals sweatshirt in several colors. Washes well and retains shape."
• "With all of this washing and drying on high heat/hot water, the top did not shrink or pill."
• "It can sit in the dryer overnight and comes out wrinkle free."

Cons:

• "The shirt I received had a print flaw in the white area so it looked stained so I asked for a replacement."
• "I have never had an issue with any of the Amazon basic clothing items I have purchased, until this item! Very poor quality…it was only worn twice before the seam came out, and it ended up in the garbage."
• "Love the color, softness and fit. BUT I wash everything before I wear it and when I did it pilled all over."
• "I washed this black sweatshirt with other black items. I went to take it out of washer when cycle was finished and the heavy thick lint was HORRIBLE."
• "This was a sale item. Good price, but looks dirty and worn."
• "Very cozy and warm, nice fleece inside only downside that the dark stripe lost lots of the colour after first wash even if I used baby detergent and washed it inside out."
• "Loved this when I first got it but unfortunately after a few washes it shrunk, it feels too tight now."

Color and Design

Pros:

• "The navy with white stars is cute and can be worn as lounge wear at home or with denim Shorts on a chilly summer evening, super cute."

• "The colors and print are really cute."
• "I'm in love with the nautical look, it's perfect! So comfortable and soft!"
• "This navy and white stripe sweatshirt is so cute."

Cons:

• "This sweatshirt looks and feels super comfy but it’s waaaay more orange than pictured or even any cantaloupe I’m familiar with."
• "This sweat looks like and off white or even cream, to me. But when it arrived had more of a yellow hint and I just couldn’t stop seeing yellow."
• "There is nothing about this shirt that is pink. It is more coral/orange."
• "I loved the light mint colour (but it's more Apple green) and the yellow, even though they show much lighter on the picture."
• "The actual color is a plain ole light blue/grey color... the color shown IS NOT THE ACTUAL COLOR."
• "Disappointed because it was not the soft blue in the picture. It is off color blue. Hard to match."
• "I ordered the coral pink and the color is very different than pictured."
