Will Lasry and a co-host break down a Gildan hoodie's construction, finding generic design, uneven fuzzy interior with pilling, and a 292g weight after washing. At $10-$13 retail, it's decent value for entry-level brands but too low-quality for long-term wear.
Despite the quality, like, my God, that is value.
This feels like the cheapest hoodie. Yeah, for sure. What they did here is they sewed the ribbing onto the sleeve first, and then they ran an overlock seam straight up because I'm sure they are counting like seconds. How many seconds can we cut off the production run?
Yeah, yeah.
I'll tell you my initial thoughts on the aesthetic. It's a very non-offensive generic hoodie. It's a very universal fit. There's nothing special about it.
Very dry, uneven fuzziness on the inside. I also just like, now that I have it on my body, the pilling is very noticeable, which is very frustrating.
Now we are going to see what the weight of these are after washing and drying.
292. Okay, it's quite a bit over-advertised, but it's a better problem than being under, I guess. Okay, $10 to $13.
Yeah, that is like—
it's so cheap. That is so cheap. Like, what? Like, despite the quality, like, my God, that is value. It could be a good product for a cheaper brand who wants to get started initially. I would not build a brand long-term with this, to be completely honest. It's not really a good quality product at all, but it's a starting point.
