Hanes Men's Ultimate Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie OF280

So I bought this jacket knowing it was for men cause I wanted something a little loose and big cause that's how I like my jackets and I know I won't find anything like that in the women's section. I just wanted something plain with no writing or designs on it. In saying this I normally wear size small to medium clothes. I was going to buy a medium for the jacket and thought not mainly cause I read the reviews and they said the jacket normally runs a little big. So I bought a small instead and I was glad I did because this fits on me like a medium to a large would.I hope this helps any women who wants to buy this product. Also it feels nice and soft and it's warm!

To me, this is a perfect zip-front hoodie and is exactly what I was looking for.Fit: I'm 6' 1" tall but have proportionally short legs and a tall upper body. If my legs were longer, I'd be close to 6'5" tall. I know because that's how tall my sons are and they have the same upper body as me. I'm a big guy too at about 260+ lbs. right now. The XX-Large fits me perfectly. The sleeves are long enough and the jacket is a generous length at the waist without being too long. I love a little extra room in the shoulders and around the chest and under the arms. This hoodie has that type of cut which gives it a feeling of effortless comfort. I can move my arms and upper body easily and do everything from yard work to throwing a football without the jacket binding up. By the way, I tried the XXX-Large first because I wanted a comfortable fit and XXX-Large was just too big for me. Amazon took the return, sweet and easy, and I'm glad I traded down in size. Amazon is amazing in this way. You can buy with confidence. XX-Large is absolutely the right fit for me. I would say the fit is as expected but a touch on the roomy side, which I like.Feel: I think this hoodie is an excellent weight. I know it says heavyweight but everything is relative. I'd realistically call it a medium weight which I like very much. It's heavy enough to throw on for a crisp, late fall, morning walk in Upstate New York with my wife but it breathes well so I don't get overheated. For me, I'd say the jacket is good by itself for about 40 to about 60 degrees F. Any colder or if it's windy and it works great as a layer as I add an outer shell coat. As it gets warmer, I'll wear it unzipped until I just don't need it any more. Then it's easy to take off and light to carry. I'll sometimes throw it on around the house on a cool day like a sweater. It's easy to wear.Fabric: Mine is 90% cotton, 10% polyester. The exterior has a normal, dense-cotton, sweatshirt-type shell which helps to make it a bit more wind resistant. The interior is a nice soft brushed poly fleece which feels great next to your skin and wicks away any sweat. Very comfortable overall.Features: The zipper is reasonably heavy and mine works easily and smoothly. The front pockets are deep, roomy and comfortable. They are perfectly placed and cut right to easily rest your hands inside and feel secure without putting pressure on your forearms. The hood is just fine and feels right on my back. I will rarely, if ever, actually use the hood but the jacket just wouldn't feel right without it and it's nice to have there if I ever need it. The hood lays well and doesn't get in my way.Overall: I'm very happy with this full zip-front hoodie. It's a classic and just what I wanted for those times and activities when you need a comfortable, lived-in, sweat jacket. At those times nothing else is quite right. This one is perfect. Highly recommended!!

This is a nice long heavyweight jacket. We purchased this a little over a month ago. My 13 yo son has worn this to school a few times, as he loves long jackets. Upon our first washing of it this evening in a front load washer and the he he put it on to go to the movies, the zipper has come un-sewn. I've never had an issue with Hanes product, but this should last a month. It may be fluke with the sewjob, but this is now unwearable. Also beware when you do wash it, the drawstrings are braided and his "poofed up" and separated. There are positives about the jacket which he did like. It did have a nice thick hood. It did not look like a cheap jacket. We are not blessed with tiny frames, hence the xxl, but the jacket was long enough to cover and be loose on him when he sat down. He is 5'10 250. Attached are pictures of the zipper and the tag so you can see material composition if interested.

I purchased this jacket because I’m not a fan of what amazon offers in the women’s department. I wanted something simple for casual wear. No big brand logo needed. So far, I really like it! It washed well and soft. I definitely need an xs but it’s not an option, so the small works fine.After almost a month, this jacket is starting to show decent wear. I still like this for chilling at home but I’m surprised how much the material is balling up, particularly on the sleeves.

I purchased 2 Hanes hoodies within a couple days. That being said, I will not be purchasing any Hanes hoodies for the foreseeable future. There are better options out there (Check out Champion Eco and a company called Golden Toe - much better overall than this). This one (maroon) has the elastic around the waist. Kind of. You know how you wear something with the snub elastic waste band and after 100 washes/wears it looses its eleasticity and is loose around your belly? That is what this is like brand new. If you like the cold breeze blowing up your belly or backside, then buy this. This is a medium weight hoodie, not too thin and not the heavy style. The quality isn't as expected. Color is nice. Size fits appropriately. But I like the elastic waste band being snug, not loose in the breeze. I am six four, 210. Definitely not fat. I just prefer my hoodies like that. I don't dry my hoodies/sweats due to long limbs so it didn't shrink for me.

The quality of these hoodies has really gone down. After just one wash, the drawstrings were completely shredded. It's too bad because they used to be pretty good sweatshirts but they aren't anymore. Time for a Weights and Measures Dept. that makes sure products being sold actually hold up.

This is a review for the chocolate coloured fleece.I bought the green version of this and it fits very well. So I thought I would give the chocolate brown hoodie a try as the colour looks really nice. What the hell happened in the sizing department, were drugs involved? It fits really well around the shoulders and the arm length is fine, but it is so bloody long it nearly touched my knees. Steer well clear of it. I now realise that I am not the first person to state this, I will now know to read all 1 star reviews before purchasing.

Love these

heavier than expected.

There seems to be a slight discrepancy between Canadian XL and American XL, and I would classify this product as American XL because the hoody is very baggy on me, sort of like wearing a jacket. It's good quality and heavyweight, but be warned, if you're used to a tighter fitting Canadian-ized XL, maybe you should consider ordering this product in Large instead.

The quality is OK. The first time I ordered was XL which was way to big for me. Returned it and got Large which is a bit larger than expected. The shoulder line was hanging down. The colour is not exactly navy blue, it’s kind of light blue mix. There is no size mentioned or any kind of tag on these hoodies, so can’t say if it’s Hanes or any other brand. It’s not heavy flees as they say, it’s light. Overall OK for one buy. I would buy again.
