Sadly after all these years I think this is my last LOGO review. I haven't been buying many clothes since the pandemic and my prior- pandemic weight gain; nothing much appeals to me and I still don't go out much.
I surpised myself and ordered 2 colors of this hoodie at the last minute as some were selling out. I hadn't been interested (haven't bought a hoodie in very long time because I own an "excessive" amount if hoodies). But I'm a sucker for tie dye and I thought this would cover my weight gain nicely so I bought desert sun (the southwest colors) and neutral which I at first didn't like at all but I wear so much black and I could see it selling out first that I did order both. (I rarely watch LOGO shows any more and this is what happened when I did).
But for two issues, this would be a 20 out of 10 stars LOGO item. It is fantastic! The tie dye colors are gorgeous and vibrant; nothing the least bit muted here nor are there weird white patches. The tie dye is perfection. The SW colors one is so pretty and bright. The colors seem more for a spring season but I'd wear it all the time, esp since I'm pale and need color to liven me up. The neutral, which I thought would be dull, is not. The palette is certainly more muted and not as bright as the desert sun one but the colors aren't faded out and it will go great with black (almost all my pants are either black or jeans).
The material is outstanding, and new. It's a heavier waffle knit and perfect for fall in the midwest. It is soft and just divine; I love the material. I am between a medium and a large and ordered larges when I saw the model, even though I feared this amount of material and length would overwhelm me at 5'3". But I wanted to wear them as jackets (not tops) so I wanted room in them. That was the right decision. They fit just as I want an outer garment to fit and they don't overwhelm me at all -- they are very flattering and cover what I want to cover.
Here are the two drawbacks keeping it from being one of the best LOGO things I've ever bought. The sleeves are too long and don't look good turned up. To do justice to this pretty garment I really should get them shortened. Also the one small button at the neckline, the closure, sucks! The loop around it doesn't fit right and IF you can get it closed the button doesn't lie right. So I wish this closed with snaps or a zipper. I would wear them constantly. Both color choices are so different that I love them both.
Not sure what I'm going to do with these.
A tailor can solve both issues but these are already pricey and I'm never 100% happy with tailoring anyway. On the other hand, I've spent so little on clothes lately I could invest in these.

OT for Biftu --- I searched but couldn't find yout post about your corduroy frayed hem jacket that you got in burgundy corduroy and blue denim. I remember you loved it. Not long ago I got it as an LTS in Medium in BLACK on a free shipping day and love it. The medium fits me right to wear as a shirt (I'll do that most) or jacket. The burgundy was no longer available but I do love the black! Wanted to let you know before the board shuts down.
