Review on πŸ‘• Fruit of the Loom Boys' Fleece Sweaters, Hooded Tops, Sweatpants & Jogging bottoms by Tim Larsen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very nice for the price!

This zip up hoodie is amazing for the price we paid my 11 year old practically lives in it. For the record, she's nearly 5 feet tall, weighs 127 pounds, has a muscular build, and likes sweatshirts that are "a little big." The size XXL fit her perfectly, not too big but roomy enough to be very comfortable. I would say XXL is about the size of 18-20 kids. She prefers boys' styles as most girls' styles seem too pink and shiny to her. She prefers vintage looks and darker colors. This particular sweatshirt has a few color variations to choose from and we'll probably end up buying a few others. so that she would have more choice of colors in her wardrobe. Like most teenagers these days, she lives in her favorite sweatshirt β€” even in the summer. She catches cold very easily, so hoodies are definitely a staple in our house year-round! This sweatshirt has been washed at least once a week lately - I would say it has probably been washed 10 times or more since we bought it 3 months ago. It does seem to fade a bit with washing, especially on the sleeves, and some fading over time. Still looks good (for now), but that's why I took a star off the rating. We have other sweatshirts that look new twice as long. I'll admit I threw it in the dryer for the first few days of washing, but I started hanging it out to see whether whether I can prevent further wear and tear of the fabric. The zip also holds up well unlike some similar jackets my daughter has had in the past. Sometimes she has problems with zippers, but no problem with this one. Consider hanging to dry or you risk discoloration. Update: We've had the hoodie for about 6 or 7 months and about 3 months ago the green on the sleeves started to discolor more and look "rusty". The blue and gray on the rest still look ok and the fabric doesn't "pull" after washing like some fabrics do, but the discoloration on the sleeves is enough that my daughter doesn't wear them out of the house anymore. We'll be buying another one, but *without* the green sleeves. that my daughter used to have. Sometimes she has problems with zippers, but no problem with this one.
