First of all I really like the looks of this item the brown version is my favorite the inside should have hooded lining with dark colors the fake far in it feels and looks cheap. Other then that the issue is the nasty sleeves feels weird cold in the winter and the WORST part of this item is the caffs they put a rubber band that does not expend so when you put those sleeves up it feels tight. It needs a good redesign and please bring back black color they had excellent version two years ago that retired that was insulted I really miss it. I had to return this item and tried a few versions and all the SAME issue.
Love it overall, but hate the tricot sleeve lining

I love this sweatshirt. *Love*. It's extremely well made, dog and horse hair doesn't stick to it, and it's super warm. The lining is plush and soft, and the hood is literally the only hood I've ever had that stays comfortably and warmly on my head but doesn't obscure my peripheral vision.
Unfortunately, I have to take a star off because the sleeve lining is *horrible*. It's a nasty, slick synthetic that is quite chilling if worn over a short-sleeved shirt, doesn't breathe well, and made my arms quite clammy regardless of shirtsleeve length. So, I took scissors to it and ripped it out. Problem solved.
I would give the jacket a full five stars plus if the sleeves were lined with the same fleece as the body and hood.
The pockets have a neat inner pocket with velcro to keep your keys or phone safe.
Women should order a size down from their regular women's size.
It is definitely very warm especially out in the cold winter weather. I had been wearing this hoodie a lot when our heater was broken a month ago and was waiting on repairs. I'm not too cheery about the oversized hood but it serves it's purpose of wearing it over a cap or hat. My complaint would be that there is no lining in the sleeve areas.
