The organic cotton blend makes this sweatshirt feel broken-in from the first wear, not stiff like most crews. I've been living in it on cool mornings and the inside is soft enough to skip a tee underneath.
I've washed this crew sweatshirt three times already and it hasn't pilled or shrunk at all. The organic cotton blend feels genuinely soft against my skin, not that scratchy fleece feeling some sweatshirts have. It's become my default layer for chilly morning walks.
