GildanMen's Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt, Style G18500

Cheap quality product.

Important to know: This hoodie will shrink A LOT in warm water washer/hot dryer combo; so make sure to size up. I usually wear L hoodies but for the Gildan I went with the XL and it fits perfectly after I washed it; see pictures. (It looked very bad fresh out the bag but shrinked up real nice)The hoodie itself is comfy: soft on the inside and rougher/rugged on the outside. I would consider this hoodie to be somewhere between Medium to Light weight: will keep you warm when indoor during winter but would require some layering when you go outside.I am 5'9" 185-190 lbs athletic-ish build. (broad shoulders, wide back, and a little extra on the belly)Hope this review will help you out!

I am 6 foot 3 and 300 pounds. So tall and fat lol. Working on losing the weight. I have bought sweaters online before only to be dissatisfied with the fit and or cut of the shirt or sweater top. These fit perfectly. At my size, 3Xl is just perfect t in the length and firs me well. Hides my fat for now lol until I slim down. Still the sweater will fit nicely at 250 pounds as it will most likely gain an inch in length without the belly being bloated. Right now it still hides it well but ofcourse it makes the sweater shorter. It does cover my belt line so it is perfect. Just being specific so big and tall people know what size to order. 3Xl is perfect for 6 foot 3 and anywhere from 260 to 300 pounds. I ordered the blue the first time. Love it as a summer colour. Ordered the grey the second time for a classic gym look. Love both. The material is light. A great spring or fall sweater. I have been wearing it in summer heat and it has that fleece light feeling so it’s actually not bad even in heat when driving with A/C and working/living indoors. It doesn’t even leave a lot of lint behind. A little after the first wear but I was sweating in the heat as I work off weight so it was expected to shed a little bit. Quality is great. Wash only in cold water not to shrink it. I will wash in warm water after I loose 50 pounds to be healthier ! Lol and look better in my sweater. The seller is awesome. One day prime delivery both times and delivered in time, packaged perfectly with the new sweater smell. Will buy a third time for sure.

I normally don't like throwing negativity out there, but I feel like the number of positive reviews and the descriptions really led me astray on this. This isn't a deal where you are getting a high-quality item for a low price. You are getting exactly what you pay for.This is not a heavy item - the fabric is extremely thin. This is not a soft "fleece" item - the material is very coarse and on the verge of being itchy. I feel like the picture on the product page has a Snapchat filter on it to make it look shiny, smooth, and soft. This material at a glance is more what I would expect from a lightweight horse blanket.I got a Large and the fit was ok, but the sleeves are short. I am 6'2 and weigh 180. I have a hard time finding long sleeve items where the sleeves are actually long enough. If you are the same, then you won't find it here either. I don't like having to order up sizes and wear something that makes me look like a flying squirrel just to have sleeves long enough.If you are looking for a standard low-quality hoodie then this is fine. But if you are looking for something heavy, high-quality, or soft...then look elsewhere. I took away one star for each of those criteria because they were all false.

So far so good, the material seems to be pretty good quality! I really like the hood, really large!

Ordered both of these hoodies in a size L as a 5'11, 180lb male.Comments about this Gildan hoodie:- I really like this fit (pre-wash)- Hanes is a baggier fit, length is about the same on both hoodies- not a heavy hoodie, but not thin either. Inner lining is comfortable and doesn't seem to pill off onto other clothing- the holes that the drawstring comes out of by the hood are not backed by any plastic or metal, just holes in the fabric- I haven't washed either hoodie yet (3-5 wears each)What I like more about the Gildan:- fits me better (not as baggy as Hanes)- elastic cuffs at the end of arm sleeves and at the waist are tighter than the Hanes, helps with fit (big difference maker for me - just seems more quality for a $15 hoodie)- stitching and construction around the sleeves and hood seems *slightly* better than the Hanes, may hold up better in the long run?- great cheap hoodie option at $15 CAD (be realistic with your expectations when you order a <$20 clothing item from Gildan/HanesWhat I like more about the Hanes:- drawstring eyelets are reinforced by plastic (coated silver) rings so if you knot your hoodie string they won't slip inside the hood- inner pilling is MAD comfortable (Gildan is comfy, but not this Huggables-type of soft, but this Hanes material will pill more onto your layer underneath)
