I tested the Ochre colourway and its been an ideal companion in the cold months to layer for a splash of colour under a dark winter coat. Where this sweater really shines however is the vast variety of tasteful, rich colours Sunspel produce it in. A fairly trim fit, minimalist appearance and elegant drape gives the sweatshirt a slightly formal appearance that you can dress up or down depending on the look. The sweatshirt is fairly minimalist in its patterning with “the dorito” (the triangular piece of cloth below the neck) as its only embellishment. However, the interior will get softer with age and washes. This tradeoff seemed fine on my legs but on a sweatshirt the added softness of a brushback fabric around your hands and neck would’ve been nice to have. Q 40 is sooo soft on the exterior but unfortunately only reasonably soft on the interior. A word of advice though, this fabric will noticeably shrink in the dryer so make sure to only air dry. It uses their same Q 40 fabric which is an exceptionally soft tight-knit loopback that’s soft, warm and ages well. Sunspel’s sweatpants were our favourites in our review of the best sweatpants so perhaps its no surprise we really liked their sweatshirt too. This autumn and winter its become a personal favourite to layer under coats and lounge in next to the fire. Outside of those, I have only good things to say about the sweatshirt. For Todd Snyder as a company we’d love to see their website list country of origin on all their garments (and not just when its a selling point) and consider using fabrics with a third-party certification like BCI cotton. Its expensive, but I believe worthwhile for an excellent garment that’ll last. This leads me to the biggest con with this sweatshirt - its price tag. If you do have short arms though I’d recommend our “Also good” pick instead.įor the best sweatshirts many point to the Vietnam-made Todd Snyder + Champion collaboration but I think its worth paying that extra $ 50 to get a garment produced closer to home. There’s generously long ribbing at the waist and cuffs that lend it a sort of relaxed, slouchy feel but you can roll up the cuffs to dress it up. I tested the Salt & Pepper colourway and it has a beautiful, dappled quality. As a result, of the sweatshirts I tested washing and drying, Todd Snyder (and Reigning Champ with its pre-shrunk cotton) faired the best. Generally with polyester you’re trading off softness and warmth for stability and robustness but I think the very thick weight of the fabric and the brushback interior makes up for the warmth and softness you lose to the blend and gives it a lovely drape. Before starting this guide I was certain a 100% cotton fabric would win out but this 80⁄ 20 cotton poly mix is shockingly good.
