I purchased this item for my daughter for christmas. Many other retailers sell similar products, however, this one is high quality. The brushed outer fabric is so soft and the lining is the main reason we bought it. Then to find out the sleeves are double lined as well was a bonus.
This is the most comfortable and warm hoodie I have almost owned. I bought it for myself but ended up giving it to my daughter who loves it. I did try it on and will end up buying one now for myself.
This hoodie is just as cozy and pretty as I hoped it would be. The fleece lining is extremely thick and soft, almost furlike. The velvet trim is a nice touch, and the color is good (I got the spice brown). My only quibble is that while it is not too small, it seems smaller than average for a Large for an item of sweat clothing. The effect is a little more tailored than I'd expected. I like it, but I think the catalog copy could mention that it is trimmer than the average sweat...I originally wanted something bigger.
