This sweatshirt is too good to be true. I have been looking for this for years and should have gone to Bean earlier. It's just like the sweatshirts I used to wear many years ago when I was a kid. Soft, warm, washes, up well and takes a beating.
My old LLBean sweatshirts finally wore out and I replaced them with what I thought would be shirts of the same quality and durability. I washed the new shirts prior to wearing and followed the wash instructions as listed on the care tag. Just the same as my old shirts, cold water, low dryer. My new shirts are now at least 1 full size smaller. This is not good as I wear size 2x and LLBean did not have my shirts in a larger size. My old shirts were washed in the same manner for several years and kept their original size. I am very disappointed with this purchase.
