Crescent Fleece Zip Hoodie

I have had the hoodie for about a month and I love the colour (last season’s periwinkle blue) and the fit. I was disappointed, however, that it is beginning to pill on the sides, around the pockets and on the sleeves … essentially where the fabric rubs against itself when moving. I have found it comfortable to wear on outdoor walks as a layer under a light jacket in our west coast winter. I thought it would be warm and snuggly as a layer at home with the temperature set at 20 Celsius, but I often feel oddly chilled. I thought the wool would perform more like other wool base layers or merino tees that I wear frequently, and I was most surprised by how much it has pilled. I also find that I have to be very careful zipping it … for example, today I zipped it up and when I looked down it had come apart at the bottom, not for the first time.

Great hoodie! The mix of wool and fleece makes for a warm combination. With sizing, I measure more toward the size MD, but I ended up returning it for a SM. The SM still gave me room in the arms and shoulders without the extra bulk/size around the waist and bottom which the MD presented as. I purchased the light brown color and just love it!
