Got this hoodie for my kid and he likes it very much. After washing it for a couple of months now, it has retained its softness, which surprises me, since so often clothes you keep washing eventually lose that new soft feeling. I know he likes it because I see him wear it often, over and over, choosing this one over others in his drawer.

After asking him, he said that the sweatshirt actually does run small as compared to other items that are marked with the same size, but the sizing chart on Amazon was extremely accurate, so he knew exactly what size he was getting. He said he realized coming from Japan the size would be a bit smaller than American version.

The only complaint about this item is that it has had a few loose threads in the stitching, which we've cut off, but so far it hasn't fallen apart or anything. The biggest plus about this item is that it retains its softness.
