I want to thank EV1 PROFUSELY who mentioned the size situation in their review. I had recently bought a Hanes fleece-lined hoodie for $12.99 in the large size. I 'love' it so much I haven't yet washed it or hung it up! LOL I reach for it anytime I feel the slightest chill. I wanted to get another, but Hanes didn't have much of a color selection. So I came across this Gioberti & decided to give it a shot - who wouldn't when they can get a $50 garment for $18! So I wanted it to fit like my Hanes hoodie did (which I wouldn't mind if it shrank a little from washing) & because so many reviews advised ordering a size larger, I ordered the XL. It fits great/as I wanted it to (with one exception - the cuffs so far are a little tight making it more difficult than many would want when pushing the sleeves up - I hope with use, they'll stretch a bit [just not TOO much!])! I only give it 4 stars because of the zipper. It's a bit pesky - have had to fiddle with it ever time I've used it (maybe why they reduced the price so much?). I understand them wanting to color-coordinate the zipper with the material, but I'd rather have a metal zipper like my Hanes has that works as it should. I'm not wanting anyone to think I'm implying the zipper is defective - I believe it's just me needing to get used to it. Happy Earth rotations, EV1!!!
