I have gone years looking for a good hoodie that brings that feeling of an old comfortable hoodie. While this does have the initial feeling, it lacks the stretch that the old cotton one has. I do find myself reaching for this hoodie more than my pullovers due to the hood and the pouch for my pocket needs. I usually get Medium shirts and pants but I decided to go up a size on this one and am glad I did, since it has a light baggy feeling without the experience where I'm swimming through the thing.
