I have purchased Carhartt Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirts because of the quality. The draw cord for the hood on the Navy sweatshirt has been changed. The holes on the sweatshirt hood are much larger than the cord even with a knot. I remember what a pain it was having to replace the cord from a hooded sweatshirt that had been separated in the washer or drier. I currently own four Carhartt front-zip hooded sweatshirts all with the proper size hood draw cord. If I wanted to buy a cheap sweatshirt I would of gone to K-Mart or Wall-Mart. I guess if you want to destroy your brand name this is a good way to start.
