Faded five-stripe pullover at premium positioning; for collectors of Aviator Nation's heritage silhouettes.

Five-stripe collection pullover in faded smoke with relaxed unisex cut. Oversized proportions throughout; the faded treatment ages the piece intentionally.

What owners report about Aviator Nation hoodies

Owners consistently describe these hoodies as exceptionally soft, with a fleece-lined interior, and say they get worn constantly. Pilling is the most repeated complaint — reviewers report it shows up quickly even with air drying — and one reviewer found the tri-blend fabric on the thin and flimsy side for a hoodie priced around $189. A repeat buyer notes the cut has changed over recent years, running less fitted than it used to, and can vary between colorways of the same style. Heavy wearers still tend to conclude the cost per wear justifies the price.

Strengths: Very soft, fleece-lined fabric that owners wear constantly — comfort is the one point nearly every review agrees on.
Watch out for: Pilling appears quickly even with air drying, and reviewers also mention thin-feeling fabric, a gritty zipper, shallow pockets, and a cut that has shifted between years and colorways.
Sizing: Sizing is unisex and reports conflict — one reviewer found them true to size while another says they run small — and recent cuts run roomier than older ones, so check current measurements before ordering.
