I ordered this sweatshirt for my son as part of his gym uniform. It held up nicely through regular washing (it didn't rip and it retained most of its color) although it fit more snugly after drying (still a decent fit). I didn't necessarily like the cut, however, because the shirt was only for gym class, this didn't matter. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and I think it was a great value for the money.
