I ordered 4 of these fleece lined hoodies during 2008 holidays. I gave one to my mom, one to my mother-in-law, one to my sister-in-law, and one for myself. I wear mine all the time. We all love them. They are perfect for shopping, keeping warm in the car on trips and wearing inside on those really cold days. They'd also be perfect for the classroom and great for the spring and fall. I am going to order two more, one for my daughter and daughter-in-law!! Great gifts!!
Nice-looking jacket (except for exposed fleece lining) but way too small. I wear a size 4 and ordered the medium expecting it to be a nice, roomy layering piece for football games. It fit snugly. I was not pleased with the look of the fleece lining. Men's Katahdin hooded sweatshirt is much nicer quality. I went for the Medium.
I have had this jacket for a couple of months and love everything about it. However, today while I was walking in the cold and needed the hood, I discovered there is no draw string. Other than that, it's a great jacket. It's very comfortable and warm and looks great.
I've ordered three of these so far - one as a gift. The first, for myself, in berry, was received in September and has been machine washed and dried many times with very little wear on the fabric and the bright color is holding up quite well.
It's very cozy. I like the cotton in the sleeves and the large pockets.
I ordered a small and found it to be true to size....
