This jacket is amazing.  Yes it looks like a normal sweatshirt hoodie, but, oh, it's so much more.  The material inside and out is high quality, very luxurious, and incredibly soft.  I followed the advice of other reviewers and purchased a large so that I would have lots of room for layering.  I am very happy with the fit.  My husband is now trying to steal this jacket, so I plan to see if they make a men's version.
