Browse all Aviator Nation hoodies →5 STRIPE RELAXED PULLOVER HOODIE - VINTAGE WHITE
The verdict
Fit
Oversized, relaxed vintage cut with dropped shoulders and generous sleeves. Vintage white is off-white with a worn-in tone; fit is consistent and runs loose. Size down for closer definition.
Quality
Signature Aviator Nation construction with soft fleece and 5-stripe embroidery detail. Mid-range durability; the vintage white base resists visible fading better than bright colors.
Is the price fair?
At $196, a slight premium over the basic MLB pullovers ($175), justified by the house signature stripe design and non-collab flexibility. Fair pricing for brand-core product.
Best for
Vintage casual dressers and Aviator Nation purists seeking the brand's iconic silhouette and stripe identity without sports team affiliation.
Care
Wash in cold water and lay flat to dry; vintage white is relatively forgiving and does not require separate washing.
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.
