Is the Relaxed Baja Hoodie true to size?

It is cut with a relaxed fit, so it runs roomy through the body and sleeves. Shoppers who want a closer fit often go down a size.

What is French terry, and how does it differ from fleece?

French terry is a knit with smooth loops on one side and a soft, flat back. It is lighter and less insulating than brushed fleece, which makes it better for layering.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a mid-weight layer, not a heavy winter hoodie. It works well over a tee in fall or spring and layers under a jacket in colder weather.

What does the Real Good badge mean?

It marks the hoodie as part of American Eagle's sustainability program, which flags materials and production choices with a lower impact.

How should I wash it to keep the washed finish?

Wash cold and tumble dry low to slow fading and shrinkage. Garment-washed terry softens further but can lose depth of color over time.

Our take on the AE Relaxed Baja Hoodie Men's

The American Eagle Relaxed Baja Hoodie is a pullover hoodie in garment-washed French terry, cut with a relaxed fit that hangs loose through the body and sleeves. The wash gives it a soft, broken-in feel from the first wear, so it skips the stiff phase most new fleece has. It suits shoppers who want a casual layer for cool days and prefer an easy, roomy silhouette over a trim athletic cut. Against plain hoodies in the same category, its draw is the lived-in finish and the Real Good sustainability badge rather than technical fabric or heavy insulation. Reviewers rate it highly, though the sample is small.
