What owners single out
Durability issues with threads and seams emerging after just a few washes align with video reviewers' concerns about construction quality for the price.
In their words
“I’m absolutely OBSESSED with this hoodie and wish I could wear it everyday lol. Everything about it makes it better than the average hoodie. The material is soft, it’s so thick exactly in the right places, like the hood for example, the details like the stitching in different spots is so nice looking and quality. Everything is done with such good quality and authenticity. They definitely don’t go ”

“I bought the hoodie less than two weeks ago, only have washed it twice and the threads are coming out near the neck of the hoodie. The hoodie is cute and feels great but for the price you’d want a product that holds up in the wash.”
