Does this hoodie run true to size?

It runs roomy and boxy. Many owners size down for a closer fit, especially when wearing it as a mid-layer.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

The 8 oz. fleece is warm for cool days and layering, but the unlined hood and basic build make it less suited to deep winter on its own.

Will it shrink in the wash?

The fleece is preshrunk, and owners report little shrinkage when washed and dried as directed.

Can it be printed or embroidered?

Yes. The fabric-overlapped zipper gives a flat full front for screen printing and applique, and the 50/50 blend takes embroidery well.

One full-zip hoodie. Nothing else is included.

How does it compare with a premium zip hoodie?

It is heavier and boxier with simpler trim, but owners say it is soft and durable for a basic layer, where premium hoodies offer a tailored fit and finer finishes.
