In heavy cotton jersey, this essential basic, almost a sweatshirt, is proud of its authenticity and reinvents itself from year to year in the season's colors. Its masculine straight fit around the waist and down the hips with full-length sleeves make it suitable for both men and women looking for a boyfriend fit. Please refer to the sizing guide to identify your best fit (please note that the sizing of this unisex item is based on men's sizes).

Beautiful quality. Runs a teense small. I will dry clean to avoid any shrinkage that might occur.
Love the Look However….
I love the look and the neckline. The quality feels and looks well manufactured, however the color is much different in person than what is shown on the website. It is a rich dark red, but I was expecting a true fire engine red. I was hoping the cotton was lighter since I live in a warm climate. The material is on the heaver side but nevertheless it has a nice hand. I will wear it on cooler days. Despite a few disappointments, I certainly would recommend it and hope to purchase another in the future. Maybe they have a lighter weight cotton option.
