I bought this to add a plain sweatshirt into to my rotation. One that was stained, torn, faded, etc. Something respectable. I received it the day we were leaving for a 4 day primitive cabin and hiking trip. Once I put it on I found it so comfy and cute under my overalls, I haven't taken it off. Works great adding and taking away layers and is just comfy. Kinda like a hug. Nicely made. I sized up to a S from XS so I could layer under. Probably a good choice but I think I could have just gotten away with the xs. I'm 5-3, 120, 34B. In the $20 range, this is a fantastic value. I'll definitely be adding another. Love Alternative clothes.

This hoodie is warm and fits true to size. It pills a little bit, but it's not so noticeable in the black. I purchased the camo version last year and the pilling is more visible on it.

My daughter went as Coraline is 2017 wearing the navy hoodie. It didn't shrink but I wouldn't say it washed well as it balled up and the material acts like a hair magnet. The fuzz balls shave right off but it's annoying to shave and lint roll out of the dryer. However she loves this thing and wears it all the time. Over the years the elbows have worn thin and the stars are a bit dingy, thus why I'm buying another. Hoping this time if I don't put it in the dryer I won't have to shave fuzz balls off of it every time it's laundered. As for sizing a size small fit like a girls 12/14. All in all the material is soft but also the only reason I feel it's over priced.

The alternative sweatshirts and joggers are super soft and cozy. Sure they pill over time, especially if you wash them frequently as I do, but that's expected. I'm 5'3" and under 100 lbs, so I would usually take an XS, but these tend to run small, or short I should say. The small hits just below my hip and is loose fitting enough through the body for a sweatshirt, so I imagine an xs would be a couple inches shorter and fit more snugly, which I don't want. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is that after many washes, the material does tend to thin out. Not quite as plush over time.

This hoodie is super-soft and cozy. It’s definitely more fitted than average sweatshirts, and looks pretty much like it does on the model. I’m very long-waisted, so the length is a bit short on me, but looks really cute with high-rise jeans.

Softest clothing brand I have experienced. I have 3 pieces from them and they are always soft and comfortable. This hoodie is no exception.Edit: I have had this for a month and there is already pilling on the entire sweater..

Bought for my girlfriend as a gift and she loved it! I bought it in her size and it fit true to size. Alternative and Derivative Apparel are usually my go-to apparel companies for apparel basics usually purchasing or from their Websites for the newer styles. I purchased this for my gf with a derivative crop top t-shirt and she loved them both.Derivative Organic Cotton & Recycled Polyester Crop Top T-Shirt For Women

Love this soft hoodie. I sized up as the reviews said it runs small. I am always a xsmall and I ordered the small. It fits but a medium size would have worked even better.
