I've been wearing the Hanes Men's EcoSmart sweatshirt for a couple of months now, and I have a mixed bag of experiences to share. Pros: Comfort and Fit: The sweatshirt is quite comfortable to wear. It has a nice, relaxed fit that doesn't feel too tight or too loose. It's perfect for lounging around the house or running errands. Eco-Friendly: I appreciate that it's made with up to 5% recycled plastic bottles. It's a small step toward sustainability, which is a win in my book. Warmth: It's reasonably warm for a lightweight sweatshirt. Great for those slightly chilly days when you don't need a heavy coat but still want an extra layer. Cons: Durability: After a few washes, I noticed some pilling on the fabric. It's not a deal-breaker, but it does make the sweatshirt look a bit worn out sooner than I expected. Sizing: The sizing can be a bit inconsistent. I ordered a medium, which fits perfectly, but a friend ordered the same size, and it was slightly larger on him. So, you might want to double-check the size chart before purchasing. Color Fading: The color fades slightly after a few washes. It still looks okay, but it's not as vibrant as it was when it first arrived. Overall, the Hanes Men's EcoSmart sweatshirt is a solid choice if you're looking for an affordable, comfortable, and eco-friendly option. Just be aware of the potential for minor durability issues and color fading. For the price, though, it's hard to beat!

My husband, my children, and I have all had many Hanes sweatshirts. Picking a color can be hard — sometimes they arrive looking too unlike the photo. Otherwise, they’re perfect in terms of thickness, comfort, price, and longevity. I’m 5’0” and feel they’re comfortably roomy without being frumpy. I have many sizes but like medium.

Beautiful color. Lightweight and comfortable. Sized well. Made well. Easy on off. I ordered several in different colors for my son.

I recently picked up a Hanes sweatshirt, and while it’s an okay option, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations compared to the Fruit of the Loom sweatshirts I’ve owned in the past. The fit is decent, and it’s comfortable enough for lounging around the house or running errands. However, I found that the fabric feels a bit thinner and less substantial than what I'm used to with Fruit of the Loom. While it keeps me warm, it lacks that cozy, heavyweight feel that I really enjoy in a sweatshirt. One thing I appreciated about the Hanes sweatshirt is the variety of colors and styles available, so there’s something for everyone. Still, in terms of overall quality and comfort, I would choose Fruit of the Loom any day. If you're looking for a basic sweatshirt that will get the job done, this Hanes option is fine, but for those who prioritize warmth and durability, I recommend going with Fruit of the Loom instead.

This is hands down the best sweatshirt you can get for the price. I’ve bought 4 of them. They are comfortable, fit perfectly (I’m 143lb, I get a large), and you cannot beat the price. The quality is also very good. I want more of them. Honestly cannot say enough good things.

I ordered this for my husband who is going through chemo treatments and is always cold. I wasn’t sure if it would be lightweight but thought I would give it a try. He wears it all the time, it is heavy weight, fit is accurate, and price is great. I will order more now that we are getting into our winter months. The only thing is he has lost a lot of weight so I would size down next time

I’m writing a few years later after owning this sweatshirt and loving it. It’s surprisingly stylish, super comfortable, and entirely classic to wear. It’s the perfect weight and a longer fit so not too boxy. I’d read about it in an article and entirely agree it’s a fantastic find. No pilling after years of wear.

FOR REFERENCE: I bought 2 of the sweatshirts in Stonewash Green, sizes Medium and Large. My 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 didn't require me to look quite as put together. I'm a female, 5'6 tall, about 115 lbs, 32C bra size, 26 inch waist, and 36.5 inch hips. I have slightly broader shoulders and a slightly longer torso than the average female of my size. I have a slender build. I wanted one sweatshirt to fit pretty loose (for layering and comfort) and another to have a trendy oversized looked. I definitely should have bought larger sizes, and I don't think these sweatshirts will hold up the way I had hoped. MAIN 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 bleached/faded spots on the bottom banding. (We don't use bleach or a lot of harsh chemicals in my home due to allergies and skin sensitivity issues. So, I'm 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 aren't very warm, but they are comfortable (as long as you get the correct size). If you choose to buy this sweatshirt, I'd recommend you buy 1-2 sizes larger to account for shrinkage and to allow for layering. If you only plan to wear a thin tank top underneath, you probably don't need to size up too much. But if you plan to wear a long sleeve thermal underneath and still want a loose fit, I'd go up 2 sizes. MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS: This sweatshirt is between light-weight and mid-weight thickness. It's more suitable to wear during chilly/cooler days in the Fall or Spring. It's not enough to keep someone warm during very cold Winter weather without adding several layers underneath and on top. I 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 semi-warm water and dried them on medium heat (being careful not to leave them in the dryer more than necessary). BEFORE 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 pre-wash stain remover. Then threw both sweatshirts in the washer with a pair of jeans and no-lint sports towel (all similar colors as the sweatshirts). AFTER 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 it's a tad bit shorter. Both tops no longer drape the way they did before I washed them. It's 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. (That's 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 there's still a visible stain. It just looks a couple shades darker than the sweatshirt color... like I spilled water on myself and it's starting to dry a bit. (I'm 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 pumkin-yellow spots on the lower banding - similar to what bleach spots would look like. I'm okay with the fit of the larger size sweatshirt even after it shrank. So, it's a shame that the color bled the way it did. Overall, I'm 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 don't think these would be great for screen-printing, simply because of the amount of shrinkage and the fact that they're already showing signs of pilling in areas that don't get much friction. Hope this info helps. If anything, these aren't bad sweatshirts to have on hand to adapt to temperature fluctuations. They're stretchy, so they're 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.

Es de muy buena calidad es gruesa la tela y es calentita

This is the fifth one of these sweatshirts that I have purchased and are consistently a great buy. They are heavy cotton construction and are roomy, warm and comfortable.

Hanes sweatshirts are the best. It's nice that make sizes that fit larger people.

I like these sweatshirts from Hanes. They fit well and are so comfortable. I love the fact that they come in a variety of super colours. Thanks again Amazon. Great product and a Great price.

Fits great, I'm 5'4 and a small fit perfectly. Comfortable, warm enough and a great wear as a casual everyday crew neck sweater.
