I purchased 3 of these XL sweatshirts about 3 months ago and have worn one of them just about every day this winter. This sweatshirt is probably the highest quality sweatshirt that you will find. The seams are perfectly and solidly sewn and unlikely to come apart. I am always worried about shrinkage, but these have remained the correct size after several washings. (I dry them in my dryer on the low temperature for a longer length of time since they are cotton.) Note that the Navy color is probably better described as midnight blue. When I first looked at it I thought they had sent black. At first you can only tell that it's not black by putting it up against something else that is black. Over a few washings it seems to have gotten just slightly lighter and more bluish. This isn't a problem for me because I also like black. Just know that this shade is a very dark blue. Maybe it will continue to lighten some through the years. In short, the higher cost of this sweatshirt is definitely justified because of the very high quality.
This is one of the best Athletic Sweats we have found in awhile. Washes up beautifully. Am going to order another one. Love them on my husband. He says it is nice and warm without bulky.
