Carhartt Women's Relaxed Fit Midweight Full-Zip Sweatshirt
I ordered this for a fall trip to Scotland. It was perfect! Spot on navy color, warm yet breathable, cuffs are comfortable-not tight, zipper is smooth and the fit is exactly what I was hoping for. I don’t like tight fitting clothes so I usually go for sz 24 & 3x.
I was looking for a good, simple black hoodie to replace one that I lost and tested four different ones on Amazon:Carhartt Women's Clarksburg Full Zip Hoodie - $49.99CLOVERY Women's Casual Zip-up Hoodie Basic Long Sleeve Hoodie - $26.99MAJECLO Women's Slim Fit Casual Full-Zip Hooded Lightweight Long Sleeve Sweatshirt - $22.95Starter Women's Zip-Up Hoodie, Amazon Exclusive - $15.99I didn't like Hanes' jersey hoodie because it was too thin and flimsy. All the hoodies are size small, black.Out of the four hoodies, I like Carhartt the best. It's a nice, thick material that will keep me warm. The zipper is metal and sturdy. It also has metal grommets on the holes for the hoodie strings (though the ends are fastened with plastic tips). The kangaroo pockets are big and deep. Two things I don't really like are the price point (compared to the other hoodies), and the zipper pull is a bit big.Clovery is my second choice because it's pretty good quality for the price. It's a bit thin for what I want but great for those who want something light but not "t-shirt thin" like the Hanes hoodie. It's really soft and fits pretty well. The hood is the best out of the four because it actually covers your head without tugging up on the shoulders. It actually extends a bit to shield your face too. What I don't like is the hoodie string, since the ends are just tied in a knot, not sewn or fastened by any coverings like the other hoodies. I also don't really like the zipper pull since it clacks against the zipper and makes a bit of noise when I move around. The kangaroo pockets are big, but so are the openings so I'm wary that things might fall out easily.Majeclo is probably my least favorite out of the four because it's thinner than I like (though still a little thicker than Hanes) and it doesn't fit very well. It's really soft, which is nice, but that's also because of the thinness. The hoodie string has metal fasteners on the ends, which is nice compared to the other four. The kangaroo pockets have the same problem as the Clovery hoodie—big openings that your stuff may fall out of.Starter comes in third place as the cheapest of the bunch. It's made of thick material so you can stay warm during evenings (which was my biggest priority). Hoodie strings are nearly sewn at the ends. It is definitely smaller than the other four though so you can't really wear anything thicker than a t-shirt underneath. It suits shorter torsos. I don't like the hood since it's also really small and tags on the shoulders the most compared to the other hoodies. Pockets are TINY, which ultimately is a no-no for me.
Very comfortable, well fitting jacket. Kept me warm, even in cold winds.
