I purchased this hoodie to produce my original sports design. I had no idea of how thick and well-made, and great quality the hoodie would be. I have already sold two of these in two sizes medium and large and my clients love them. They are comfortable, warm and very sporty and fashionable. The print is absolutely awesome. I am not disappointed. Hoping for more orders soon!

Usually I stay away from hoodies due to the variation in fit by brands. I'm 6 foot 300lbs and this hoodie fits me great. Print is bright and bold and turned out amazing.

I have ordered over 50 hoodies for my unit, and everyone loves them. I have maintenance individuals that wear them on the flight line and the hoodies hold up well in all conditions. The company logo turned out well and the print is holding up well in all sorts of conditions.
