Ok! It's here! Good and bad news.

Good news: Quality is fine. Ears might need some wire to keep them perky/upright. Has snuggle potential. 🦊

Bad news: The size 4XL is tight (I wear a US 2-3XL)! I can zip it up BUT I am afraid it'll have to go in the "when I lose weight" pile. 🥲

The thumb holes almost work for me, but I have long arms. If I was to modify it, adding 1-2 inches to the arms would make the thumb holes work. Otherwise the sleeve length seemed file, but the tightness throughout was distracting me from really telling.

But ya, it's cute and it has potential. If you're over 6 feet tall like me, closer to 200 lbs (I'm ~250 lbs), then the Chinese 4X might fit you similar to a Unisex US 1X.

It's not as rugged as my go-to hoodie (the zipper gives me "this might break" vibes), but it's adorable and has a nice sponginess that could enhance hugability. ☺️🦊

Hmm, actually I'm not sure I can recommend the 4XL as a 1XL. 🤔

This took some time to figure out, but something about the hood and neck seemed odd. Initially I thought it was the zipper not going high enough, but overlaying my go-to Torrid 3X hoodie shows it.

In the photo below, both hoods perfectly overlap, but as you can see that despite the orange hoodie feeling tighter, the orange hood-to-neck just keeps going. The result is the head/hood area feels HUGE! Wearing it, it's a bit too much like wearing a tent. ⛺

At least me personally, I want things to feel more fitted. This was true of the rest of the hoodie, just not the hood. 😞
