My son is a welder and I purchased as a gift. The material is very thick like a hoodie should be. The printing on the hoodie is spot on. Does not look cheap at all. My son is 5'9 and likes his hoodies to fit a little bigger than his normal size large. Purchased an extra large and it is perfect. Has been washed and dried many times and has held up extremely well I would say even better than a name brand hoodie.
