Champion makes some good stuff for wearing around the house, doing yard work in the fall or winter, and exercising.  Their reverse weave sweaters in particular are sturdy and warm.  I own a few reverse weave non-hooded sweatshirts and they are over-sized which you will read in the reviews.  I wear a large, and they easily wore like one size up.  My girlfriend hated them because they are purposely cut shorter with an elastic band at the waist for the old school look, but they were really wide and puffy, so the proportions were way off and unflattering.  The hooded sweatshirt, however, seems to fit well.  It's not tight or tailored, but it's not nearly as baggy as other reverse weave sweatshirts I've worn in the past.  It has a soft fleece interior.  The thickness is substantial - the outside is slightly coarse, thick material, not the paper thin stuff you could rip apart with your hands.  This is a classic, affordable, strong sweatshirt and a good investment versus some of the expensive boutique "replica" retro sweatshirts.
