I hate to give a bad review, but. . .
"I don't ever like to give a bad review, particularly to a company I generally like, but this sweatshirt is not what I hoped it would be. It's really pretty, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it, and the outside fabric is nice and soft*, but. . . It's not warm. It's a very thin sweatshirt material, just a bit thicker than a t-shirt, really. It's fine if you're wearing it inside, but it's not going to keep you warm outside when it's at all cold out. ** The biggest problem, and a shocking one from Svaha, is that the pockets are uselessly small–so far I have lost gloves that have fallen out of the pockets 4 times. I found the missing glove 3 of those times, but one of my gloves is lost out in the world now because the pockets of this hoodie are too small for them, and a hoodie with pockets too small to hold gloves is pretty useless to me. I would certainly never put anything important in them. Also, the seam of one of the pockets has already torn, which makes it feel very poor quality. Not what I expected from Svaha. *The soft fabric has a downside–if you tie it around your waist the knot won't stay tied because it's slick. But it feels lovely. That and the appearance earn the two stars. ** I live in New England, and have been wearing sweatshirts instead of winter coats for years. This one doesn't cut it."
