It's a nice hoodie. it fits true to size and is very soft. it didn't shrink very much (if at all) when i washed it and it has kept softness nicely. It is a lighter-weight sweatshirt. good for springtime evenings or early fall days here in NJ. i like the color a lot as it's very pretty in person, however i'd call it "periwinkle" before i called it "violet"
