How thick or heavyweight is this sweater?

First, for all those stating that this isn't 90% cotton, the material and cotten content vary by color. I think only the black is 90% cotton. Second, to call this material - at least the black, 90% cotton that I have - the "Ultimate Cotton Heavyweight" is a flat out lie. The sweatshirt is okay, I guess. But it certainly ISN'T heavyweight material by anything even approaching reasonable standards. My own description would be a medium/light material. or the roughly $9 I paid, I'm not too disappointed. But if this had been any more money I would have sent it back immediately, citing the farce of a description that states the material is heavyweight.

Will these shrink? i bought two. one xl and one xxl that are 90% cotton. the xxl is huge and the xl is perfect. worried about shrinkage

I bought a medium and mine did shrink a little in the dryer, but not enough to be a problem. If you air dry it you should not have any shrinkage issues

NO. It has a large pesky tag that often needs to be 'tucked back in'.

Is this good fit for big and tall? I am 5'11 and about 300lbs. What would be a recommended size?

I am 6' 2" 200 lbs I wear over other shirt I bought a 3x and fits me great

Great fit and Color!

Great sweatshirt! I chose a men's because I wanted it to be oversized and it's great. The color is awesome!

Hardly Heavyweight but a Nice Midweight Shirt

Despite the title, there's no way this qualifies as heavyweight compared to an average sweatshirt just a few years ago. It's on the lighter end of mid weight! Disappointed in Hanes for misleading consumers. On the other hand, it meets all other expectations at a good price. It's 90% cotton, breathable and comfortable. No issues with stitching/quality in the light blue sweatshirt I bought. Made in Guatemala not China - for me, that's another plus.I'm a 5'7" woman, 150 lbs. For a relaxed fit, went with size small and it fits well. Would recommend sizing up if you prefer oversized. Most styles sold for women don't have a high cotton content (unless you pay a small fortune for it) and tend to be thinner. This shirt is cut wider in the arms and shoulders - obviously better suited for the average male anatomy. But it's not so extreme that it looks bad. If Hanes offered more light colors in this line, other than white or gray, I'd definitely buy another.

Great quality, but the sleeves are extra long

Great quality, but the sleeves are extra long. I'm a 5'7 120lb male and the small was too big for me.
