I was disappointed in this item as I usually wear a 3x in most items and this was very tight even in 3x. The jacket is made super short and especially tight in arms too. Very warm though and so loved the material itself. Just wish it was made bigger to be more to real size needs for larger sized women.
This sweatshirt is more than comfortable, warm, well made, and looks great on. The sleeves on the inside do not have fleece lining which is a great design to allow easy on/off. You will at least like, most likely love, this hoodie.
I love the soft warmth of this hoodie. However, I'm 5' 9" and usually wear size medium or large, so I ordered large. I had to return the large because it was too tight in the arms and chest. The XL fits just fine. (I've never worn XL!)
This has been great for my nickel allergy--most of the zipper is either coated and/or plastic and doesn't irritate my skin! I also do not use fabric softner b/c of allergies, and it comes out of the dryer super soft. The only negatives are that it does have a large waist and tighter shoulders, and shorter arms--seems a trend for Bean in plus (why?). I bought a larger size and dry it on high with everything else--it's held it's color and shrunk just right--but it's so soft and comfortable that I wear it almost every day. I get compliments on it all the time--I have the green/navy stripe one. Please bring those back! I'm ordering more--especially b/c of the zipper for my skin!!
