for reference  i bought 2 of the sweatshirts in stonewash green sizes medium and largemy intent was to find something reasonably priced warm and comfy to wear  mainly so i could quickly put together a basic casual and decent looking outfit that was suitable to wear in public  i wanted a sweatshirt i could launder at least 15 times before it became too worn out looking to try to wear at a social event  even after the appearance degraded i still wanted the sweatshirt to remain warm comfy and in tact so i could wear it while lounging inside my home or during other situations that didnt require me to look quite as put togetherim a female 56 tall about 115 lbs 32c bra size 26 inch waist and 365 inch hips i have slightly broader shoulders and a slightly longer torso than the average female of my size  i have a slender buildi wanted one sweatshirt to fit pretty loose for layering and comfort and another to have a trendy oversized lookedi definitely should have bought larger sizes and i dont think these sweatshirts will hold up the way i had hopedmain thoughts  overall quality is barely okay i guess it really depends on how you intend to use this sweatshirt and the pricing you may find the quality to be acceptable or very disappointing  shrinks a lot after just one wash  almost by a size and a half  shrinkage is more drastic in the length of the body and sleeves but also affects the width  overall does not launder well under normal conditions  you may have to be very careful to avoid any heat or abrasiveness to keep this sweatshirt looking its best for as long as possible not worth the effort imo  stains show easily on this particular color and are surprisingly difficult to remove  possible dye issues  the large sweatshirt came out with what appears to be bleachedfaded spots on the bottom banding we dont use bleach or a lot of harsh chemicals in my home due to allergies and skin sensitivity issues so im not sure how this occured no other clothing item came out of the laundry with the same problem  already noticed some slight pilling in spots  barely noticeable now but this is only after one laundry session  sweatshirts arent very warm but they are comfortable as long as you get the correct sizeif you choose to buy this sweatshirt id recommend you buy 12 sizes larger to account for shrinkage and to allow for layering  if you only plan to wear a thin tank top underneath you probably dont need to size up too much  but if you plan to wear a long sleeve thermal underneath and still want a loose fit id go up 2 sizesmore specific details  this sweatshirt is between lightweight and midweight thickness  its more suitable to wear during chillycooler days in the fall or spring  its not enough to keep someone warm during very cold winter weather without adding several layers underneath and on topi wore both sweatshirts twice before washing them  once with only a tank top underneath and once with a thin long sleeve thermal underneath  then i machine washed them in semiwarm water and dried them on medium heat being careful not to leave them in the dryer more than necessarybefore laundering  both sweatshirts felt slightly rough nothing really bothersome or too noticeable and disappointingly thin  the color was as expected  a lovely muted pale green  one sweatshirt arrived with excess threads hanging from the bottom  but i was able to safely cut them off without risk of anything unraveling  i liked the way both tops fit and draped  the sizes were as i hoped they would be  i accidentally spilled a cold milky coffee drink on the smaller sweatshirt  i treated it with a prewash stain remover  then threw both sweatshirts in the washer with a pair of jeans and nolint sports towel all similar colors as the sweatshirtsafter laundering  both tops became softer and slightly fluffier after washing  this made them feel a bit thicker and warmer  both were noticably smaller though  the large top now fits similar to the way the medium used to fit  except its a tad bit shorter both tops no longer drape the way they did before i washed them  its not a huge issue for me though  the banding on both tops also shrank a bit  i no longer like the way the medium fits me  prior to washing the end of the sleeves reached halfway down my fingers  the sleeve cuffs were loose enough that i could have them drape that way but just snug enough that i could pull them back around my wrists  now the wrist cuffs sit snuggly around my wrists  when i reach for items above my head the sleeves pull back a bit exposing more of my wrists and the waist hem rides up so that i have to yank it down when i drop my arms back down to my sides  thats how badly the top shrank in length after just one wash  the brown color from where i spilled my coffee on the medium top was gone but theres still a visible stain  it just looks a couple shades darker than the sweatshirt color like i spilled water on myself and its starting to dry a bit  im going to try a different stain remover and wash it again  hopefully it works otherwise this top will permanently look dirty  as i already mentioned the larger top had some pale pumkinyellow spots on the lower banding  similar to what bleach spots would look like  im okay with the fit of the larger size sweatshirt even after it shrank  so its a shame that the color bled the way it didoverall im disappointed with my purchases  these are already going to be dedicated lounging and housework shirts  they are a bit warmer and very soft inside which is nice  and nothing has unraveled so it seems the stitching is good  i dont think these would be great for screenprinting simply because of the amount of shrinkage and the fact that theyre already showing signs of pilling in areas that dont get much frictionhope this info helps if anything these arent bad sweatshirts to have on hand to adapt to temperature fluctuations  theyre stretchy so theyre easy to quickly throw on as an extra layer and take off as needed  just be mindful they leave some lint behind on 100 cotton shirts  the lint problem will probably diminish after a few washes though
