The situation:
My son's school requires their sweaters to match the uniform shirts and each grade has a specific color. 5th grade's white, 8th grade's navy. Easy peasy!
But 7th grade? Baby Blue. Not the worst but also not as easy as the other two. Throw in my neurodivergent kid (ADHD) that's fussy over certain fabrics, it's a bit more difficult. ????
The overall:
For us, this was a bit baggy but he likes it that way. He's a skinny, shorter 13yo (we're Southeast Asian). The pocket is big enough to hold a smartphone but not quite snug enough to keep it from falling out. There are NO DRAWSTRINGS on the hood but he doesn't use them anyhow. And they always get lost in this family. Oh and it came a little bit snagged at the wrist. Pic included.
The material is thin enough for him to wear on sunny autumn days but thick enough to protect him from a drizzle. It can be layered easily because it isn't too thick, which is useful for him since he always needs a winter coat.
It's quite soft out of the package, so it might wear out quicker than one that's thicker and a bit more "factory fresh," but that's okay with us. It's only a school year. We can stow it away til our younger son can fit them.
TL:DR - perfect casual hoodie for layering on my ADHD kid that's picky about clothes.
Bonus: Not bad quality for someone who prints their own sweater designs. Will update after a few months!
