Review on Hanes Ultimate Heavyweight Fleece Sweatshirt - Boost Your Comfort and Style by Jordan Doyle

Revainrating 1 out of 5

$6 Walmart sweatshirt for $17

I don't even know why they would call this a sweatshirt as it's actually thinner than a lot of my shirts. Calling him a "heavyweight" is a crime against language. I somehow figured out that a decent or cotton hoodie is now $70-$100 but the specs made me want to try it, but I feel the specs aren't telling the truth. The tag says 90% cotton 10% polyester but I've worn clothes my whole life and I'm pretty sure it's not 90% cotton clothes. It doesn't feel, smell, wash, breathe or wear like one. To be honest I think I confused Hanes with Champion when ordering this item because I never buy Hanes. They make underwear where the elastic is dead and wavy after two washes and socks that rip the first time you put them on. In my eyes they were literally synonymous with quality that the dollar can buy. I haven't even washed this item yet and am considering returning it. Fiction by Tiger Brand. It was the best, most comfortable cotton sweatshirt I've ever worn, and they were so heavy that when you held them in your hands, you felt like you were putting on a leather jacket. The towels tumble dried before these items, they were so thick that wearing them felt like wrapping yourself in angel wings. They were cheap but I knew what I was getting so it was time to take a chance with these new brands. Cotton Factory, Justsweatshirts and Polartec. These are the only ones I've found that are 100% cotton and are quite heavy at 18 and 20 ounce weaves. I believe nonfiction weighed 22 ounces. I found another sweatshirt but they have 6 inch ribbing which is not my style. And of course you can go for various designer hoodies and pay over $500 for a damn sweatshirt. But stay away from Hanes, that's crap.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
