This sweatshirt is so nice, and the embroidery is even cuter in person! The french terry 100% cotton is a little bit rough, but after one trip through the washer and dryer it has already softened up some, (And didn’t shrink in the dryer at all!). Cotton only gets softer the more you wash it and the french terry wont matt and pill like that awful fleece texture. I decided to get an XL because I am 5’9” and I wanted to wear it like a long sleep shirt, unfortunately I should have gone with a 2XL for a little extra length. The sleeves have a nice tight cuff so you can pull them up your arm without them slipping down, cant say how it fits on the waste because I got an oversized fit. Wonderful product, it would be an amazing gift and will age very well. I am very happy with my purchase and will definitely buy more soon. 😁
