Review on Joes USA Heavyweight Pullover Sweatshirt XS GraphiteHeather Men's Clothing via Active by Gary Zielinski

For this price I would go for another heavyweight hoodie

Ok here's the deal, I'm a fan of hoodies and I love extra heavyweight thick hoodies - so this listing for a 'heavyweight' " Sweatshirt piqued my interest. The description said it used 12 ounce fabric, which didn't strike me as super heavy, but I still had high hopes. When it arrived I was a little disappointed for a number of reasons - firstly it's quite heavy but thin is probably best for those living in warm climates which I don't - definitely call it a 'heavyweight' hoodie anyway Hyperbole and for the price you'd better buy a Gildan or something or get a heavier hoodie that costs the same. It doesn't feel as durable as you would expect from a heavyweight hoodie, some of the stitching ripped within minutes of opening the package. My second issue with this sweatshirt is the hood itself, it goes up in an unnatural way, it looks like a triangle on your head if you wear it wrong - I've experienced this with other sweatshirts like Hanes but every hoodie over $40 wins. t have to have this problem. My last issue was that the sizing seemed a bit wrong, bottom too long for XL, luckily I know how to sew and fixed this issue for me, but if I didn't I would be out of luck and I will probably never wear this hoodie. On the other hand, I love the color, it looks exactly like the photo, which is a common problem I have when buying sweatshirts on Amazon. I also love how it fits after sewing it and making some adjustments. Although it's not as thick and heavy as the Id, it still gives a nice feeling of solidity and heaviness.

Pros
  • Active Hoodies
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
