Jacket runs a bit big especially if you're a girl

So I bought this jacket knowing it was for men cause I wanted something a little loose and big cause that's how I like my jackets and I know I won't find anything like that in the women's section. I just wanted something plain with no writing or designs on it. In saying this I normally wear size small to medium clothes. I was going to buy a medium for the jacket and thought not mainly cause I read the reviews and they said the jacket normally runs a little big. So I bought a small instead and I was glad I did because this fits on me like a medium to a large would. I hope this helps any women who wants to buy this product. Also it feels nice and soft and it's warm!

Classic, comfortable hoodie at a great value!

To me, this is a perfect zip-front hoodie and is exactly what I was looking for. Fit: I'm 6' 1" tall but have proportionally short legs and a tall upper body. If my legs were longer, I'd be close to 6'5" tall. I know because that's how tall my sons are and they have the same upper body as me. I'm a big guy too at about 260+ lbs. right now. The XX-Large fits me perfectly. The sleeves are long enough and the jacket is a generous length at the waist without being too long. I love a little extra room in the shoulders and around the chest and under the arms. This hoodie has that type of cut which gives it a feeling of effortless comfort. I can move my arms and upper body easily and do everything from yard work to throwing a football without the jacket binding up. By the way, I tried the XXX-Large first because I wanted a comfortable fit and XXX-Large was just too big for me. Amazon took the return, sweet and easy, and I'm glad I traded down in size. Amazon is amazing in this way. You can buy with confidence. XX-Large is absolutely the right fit for me. I would say the fit is as expected but a touch on the roomy side, which I like. Feel: I think this hoodie is an excellent weight. I know it says heavyweight but everything is relative. I'd realistically call it a medium weight which I like very much. It's heavy enough to throw on for a crisp, late fall, morning walk in Upstate New York with my wife but it breathes well so I don't get overheated. For me, I'd say the jacket is good by itself for about 40 to about 60 degrees F. Any colder or if it's windy and it works great as a layer as I add an outer shell coat. As it gets warmer, I'll wear it unzipped until I just don't need it any more. Then it's easy to take off and light to carry. I'll sometimes throw it on around the house on a cool day like a sweater. It's easy to wear. Fabric: Mine is 90% cotton, 10% polyester. The exterior has a normal, dense-cotton, sweatshirt-type shell which helps to make it a bit more wind resistant. The interior is a nice soft brushed poly fleece which feels great next to your skin and wicks away any sweat. Very comfortable overall. Features: The zipper is reasonably heavy and mine works easily and smoothly. The front pockets are deep, roomy and comfortable. They are perfectly placed and cut right to easily rest your hands inside and feel secure without putting pressure on your forearms. The hood is just fine and feels right on my back. I will rarely, if ever, actually use the hood but the jacket just wouldn't feel right without it and it's nice to have there if I ever need it. The hood lays well and doesn't get in my way. Overall: I'm very happy with this full zip-front hoodie. It's a classic and just what I wanted for those times and activities when you need a comfortable, lived-in, sweat jacket. At those times nothing else is quite right. This one is perfect. Highly recommended!!

Cut on the larger side, and not tightly, seems well made for the price, has large pockets.

I'm happy with my purchase. It met my 3 major criteria. 1: It fit me. It's harder to find 3X and above. This 3X seems larger than the last couple of hoodie jackets I had from another brand. It's definitely a little longer. (I have to adjust to moving it aside to get into my pants pockets. Not a big deal.) And, I think, a little bit bigger overall. If I'd known Hanes cut their 3Xs this large, I could have got away with a 2X--or maybe what I really needed was a 2 1/2X--which nobody manufactures. Fortunately, I like my clothing loose so larger is a plus for me. As a bonus, the pockets are definitely larger which I consider a major plus. I can easily wear a sweater or sweat shirt under it. 2: It was affordable. It cost me around $25 with shipping. It was not the least expensive hoodie listed but it was towards the low end so I wasn't expecting what I would with a more expensive garment. For instance, the zipper is not heavy duty, but, looks like it should work for a number of years. Hanes products seem decent to me in their price range. It doesn't feel as heavy weight as my last similar jackets. My current winter coat is thinner and lighter than any other I've owned but keeps me as warm. Perhaps this fabric will do the same. If it is lighter weight and won't be as warm, that would be a plus. I still have my heavier jacket. This is primarily for Spring and Fall. I assume it will be too hot for Summer. Today I wore it for the third time. It was in the low 60's and a bit windy. It worked fine and kept out the wind. After a while, with the sun out, I had to wear it open. Third: It was in a color I wanted. I wanted either black or dark green. Both were available. My other jacket is black, so I ordered dark green for this one. I think it looks good. I think it looks good on me. I haven't used the hood--I rarely do, but it looks like it will do it's job. So, if my criteria come close to yours, I recommend purchasing this.

Great hoodie for women too!

I live on a farm in the panhandle of Fl. It gets cold here but not too cold for too long. I dress in layers so when I get overheated, I remove my barn coat and still am warm and comfortable wearing this hoodie. It's a sturdy 90% cotton fabric with a baby soft lining, roomy pockets, and I love the hood, especially on wet windy days. It keeps my neck warm and the zipper keeps out the cold. I bought 4 of these in different colors, size Small. I am 5'5" and normally wear a size 8. The sleeves are a little long on me but I can just roll or push them up. I toss the hoodies in the washer and then pull out of the dryer while still damp and let air dry on a hanger. I just couldn't find comparable hoodies for my lifestyle in women's sizes. And you can't beat the price! I will probably order a few more.

Slight differences; but a good fit.

Due to a prior purchase elsewhere of a Large Green Hanes Full Zip "Ultimate Cotton Fleece Hoodie" I decided to buy "the same" in Charcoal. The Green hoodie is 90% cotton and 10% polyester made in Honduras; the Charcoal hoodie is 65% cotton and 35% polyester and made in El Salvador. Both bear the same "Ultimate" tag; both fit nicely (I'm 6'1" - 185lbs.), and the sleeves cover my wrists (34" is my normal sleeve length). The extra polyester gives the hoodie a slightly lighter feel, but the construction seems solid and the hood is lined like my previous purchase. I'm just pointing out the differences that I noticed. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and I would buy it again.

it fits good. It sort of looks on me like the ...

I bought the medium size and it fits just right for me. Even after washing it, it fits good. It sort of looks on me like the guy on the picture of this add. My weight is 188 lbs and i'm 5'7". I had previously bought the large size thinking it would fit me good and after a few washes it did shrink a bit but not enough. It was still baggy. Its warm, soft, well made, thick but not too thick. It's a great jacket for my taste. I would definitely buy again. Update: 11/3/17 I accidentally dried the sweater in a pretty high temperature and it shrunk. It doesn't fit anymore. You can see my back if I bend forward a bit. I didn't dock it any stars because it's still nice. I gave it to my girlfriend and it fits her better than me.

A little large but good

To be clear I bought this to replace my work hoodie, the picture is trivial but figured it still share how it arrived. I am an outdoor forklift operator (in a sealed cab) so I am in and out of the weather all year round... my lift has heat so I don't need an extremely thick hoodie to keep me warm in the winter. Pros: +Decently Thick Material +Slightly Baggy +Zipper actually works well +Vibrant black (not faded) +Big hood (nice for hats/beanies) +Price is fair Cons: -Arrived out of the sealed bag with some weird residue on it... quality is questionable -Baggy (depending on how you want it to fit) -Pockets are average or possible slightly smaller than what I expected. -Hoodie strings seem cheap/probably won't endure many washes before shrinking Honestly... for the price this is a good purchase. I think if you went to Walmart and tried to buy something comparable to this within the same price range you'd have a lower quality/thinner hoodie. Anymore shopping for hoodies they have become a little pricey for what you get... I was surprised how thin the $35/$45 department store NAME BRAND hoodies were.... seems like you have to pay a little north of $40 to get a decently thick one these days. Will update if anything changes.

Deep Navy = Navy

I ordered a Large in this sweatshirt in the "Navy" color but then decided I might instead need a Medium. The best price with free returns for the Medium was available in the color "Deep Navy," but when it arrived, it was actually the same as the Navy sweatshirt (packaging on both said "Navy" with identical SKU numbers). I wound up keeping the Large one. Overall, this seems like an excellent sweatshirt - very heavy fabric and high (90%) cotton content. Note that the Amazon site lists some other colors as 90% or even 100% cotton, but that's not always accurate. The Hanes website accurately shows the true fabric content for the various colors.

Very comfortable sweatshirt and perfect for wearing on those cooler days

Very comfortable sweatshirt and perfect for wearing on those cooler days! I will say, it shrinks a LOT when you wash it (even in cold water). I ordered it a size bigger than I normally wear because I wanted it to be roomy and comfortable, and it seemed another size or two larger than that when I first got it. The sleeves went past my fingertips a good 5 or 6 inches. However, after washing, the sleeves reach my knuckles and it's the size I was looking for in the first place! Not complaining, but I figured I'd let people know they should keep that in mind when ordering! Still, it's great quality and it's been making it through my work days with me no problem. Love it.

I am giving 5 stars for the fast shipping and the review part is

The Hanes sweatshirt is not as heavy as the Gildan and I have been trying all the brands to see the quality between them. So far The Gildan was made heavier than the Hanes and heavier than the fruit of the Loom but not as good as the Columbia the Columbia was far ahead of all of them with the softness and quality The Champion is not even close to the Columbia. I would try to get the name brands from the department stores such as macys they seem to be more legitimate. I got my Columbia from Macys for 24.00 dollars this week from 50.00 On Sale. It seems to be hit or miss on Amazon if you get a real product or not. It is too bad for that as I used to buy everything with confidence here but after a few duds and I know fake products I have lost my confidence especially with perfumes
