The brushed waffle v-neck top is generally well-received for its comfortable, cozy, and warm feel. Customers praise the nice appearance and fit, with many noting it is true to size and washes/dries well. However, some experienced issues with the fit, finding it ran large or boxy. A few also felt the polyester material was scratchy compared to cotton, and the side zippers were seen as unnecessary by some. Overall, the consensus is that this is a high-quality, versatile top that works well for cool weather when the right fit is achieved.
I bit warm for summer wear, rather long,beautifully made,saved for cool nights

Terrible Zippers
Size Purchased: Large

The zippers on the sides won't stay zipped and creep up while wearing.

Sweatshirt
Fit: True to size
I like it, what I do not like are the side zippers. When I bought it, I did not notice the zippers on the side. They are itchy.

This shirt is so nice, soft inside, fit perfectly! I ordered the blue and the green. Green was a beautiful evergreen. They wash well since they are polyester and easy to care for.
