I saw all the reviews saying this is so great and "treat yo self" so when I saw a lightning deal on Cyber Monday I jumped on it. I got the blue color which is a gorgeous color but I just don't get what everyone is so in love with about this shirt. The performance fabric is a little scratchy and, while there are interesting style lines, the fit is just sort of "eh." The sizing is as expected but I just don't need a $50+ plus sweatshirt.This is my new 100% favorite, go-to pullover. I liked the color and my size was a steal in comparison to the others in full price, so I purchased it not knowing if the brand or cut was quality. When it arrived, I was so pleased! Since then, I have purchased two more (pink and navy)--yay!The fabric is nice and roomy; it's also think enough to fit without any awkward cling in the midsection. I feel very comfortable without looking sloppy. What a win!I love the fabric. Soft and cozy. Runs a little big but not enough to downsize.so comfortable and stretchy!Love this!!Not what I expectedI love this (blue) hoodie so much I ordered one in black. For a nearly all polyester fabric (has a small percentage of spandex) I worried I would have hot flashes and feel sealed in like wrapped in cellophane. Many of my UnderArmour synthetic hoodies do this to me. Absolutely not with this shirt, it is light on the skin and moves and breathes yet a comfort of warmth when needed. We are still above 70 degrees here in Sept, but I was cold during the day so slipped this on, later that evening, sitting out on the patio with friends in 80 degree weather, I was still extremely comfortable in this as well. It is truly the most amazing hoodie I have ever worn. It really flatters, its not boxy and the length in back is mid hip and great cover. I gives you a slender appearance, does not balloon out, the sleeves fit beautifully and the perfect length for me, I'm 5'7" and longer arms than many so this has been an issue for me with cuffs that ride up past my wrist. But even with shorter arms the cuffs gently hug so they wont go over your hands and give a sloppy look. Also, for the weight of the fabric, when you are sitting on a sofa or chair you don't realize there is a hood. I does not bunch up it simply lays flat against your back. As with the generous sleeves, the hood is generous as well and goes well over your head rather than too short and falling off. I laid down in bed to read a book and fell asleep in this hoodie and slept all night in it. No discomfort or getting too hot or bunching up. Most amazing comfort. The color on the stock photo of the blue is accurate, it is vivid and beautiful. I wear a medium in all my Columbia, LLBean, Eddie Bauer and Under Armour and this hoodie is true to size for me in a medium. This would be a great hoodie to pack for vacations as not fat and bulky and a suitcase hog, but delivers warmth with a flattering look.This stretchy hoodie uses a knit fabric that is thicker than many athletic long-sleeved tees but also much lighter and thinner than your average sweatshirt. It has thumbholes to keep your hands warm; if I don't want to use the thumbholes, the cuffs are tight enough around my wrists to keep the sleeves where they belong . The hood attaches in front with a cross-fabric pattern that loosely protects my neck. And the length comes to below my hips to prevent it from riding up. The only thing I'm not wild about is the hood since there's no way of tightening it to keep it in place during windy weather. The hood extends well beyond my face, somewhat limiting my view, but that does helps some in keeping it on my head.I love the medium blue color. The workmanship is excellent, and the sweatshirt runs true to size. My medium fits me perfectly with or without a shirt underneath because, while the fabric is stretchy, the cut isn't body-hugging. Although some may complain about the price, Cutter & Buck is a brand known for quality.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
