Review on Angelina Womens Fleece Thermal T7915_A_M by Jon Lewis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Pro and con. (fabric/heat/label issue)

PROS: Overall nice fleece lined shirt; not too expensive; keeps you warm enough (it obviously depends entirely on the temperature and the number of layers you have, but in general. (obviously won't get as warm as the best brands)) CONS: a) label and b) fabric CONS: a ) They put a tag on these shirts (bottom left inside) it is just TERRIBLE and impossible to pull it off without tearing the fabric about an inch or so at the seam which would require a bit of sewing. . (Technically you could cut it very close to the threads, but even the little sewn-in strip that stays under the sewn-in threads is still so stiff and spiky it'll still annoy you to death, so if you then go with it a finer pair of scissors to snip the edge just *a little* a bit, *IT* is almost impossible without opening the seam an inch or two (I'd let it go perfectly well enough except that even after trimming the main part of the label, the remaining little sewn-in strip of the label was still just insanely hard and prickly and scratchy on my skin.) b) fabric - cheaply made; So while it's soft (which is why I've noticed so many others like this shirt so much and it's the only thing I like about this fabric) it's the type of fabric (mind you it's the outer layer) , you I am very concerned that you might grab your shirt if you are carrying a cardboard box for example or if your husband is massaging your back while you are wearing this shirt and his fingertips are dry. Something like that. So just keep that in mind. SUMMARY: While overall it's a great warm shirt and I understand why people like it and I really want people to like it, I probably won't buy it again, mainly because of what I buy with each of these shirts, which I don't want Sew an inch or two wide gap along the seam for each label I remove on each. Looks so stupid, but here's why. (Also there are no washing instructions on the labels or anything, there's no point in having such a label). (An alternative brand I like is the Cuddl Duds Comfortwear Shirt - better quality, no tag issues, no fear of fabric breakage.)
