The verdict
Fit
Relaxed unisex fit with a roomy hood and half-zip. Teddy fleece is voluminous; the body is cropped. Runs large; size down if you prefer a closer fit.
Quality
Fleece seaming is stable and well-finished. Zippers are secure and move smoothly. Expected to withstand frequent wear and washing without pilling excessively.
Is the price fair?
USD 395 is fair for a mid-tier branded teddy hoodie. A plain black hoodie at equivalent quality costs USD 280–350; the brand adds USD 45–115.
Best for
Casual wearers who layer frequently and want a comfortable, logo-visible piece in a neutral color.
Care
Wash inside-out to reduce pilling; cold water, gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry.
What owners report about Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear
Coverage of Aviator Nation's outerwear centers on its tri-blend fleece pieces — hoodies, half-zips and zip jackets. Owners consistently describe the fleece as very soft and comfortable, hand-sewn in the brand's Los Angeles factory, and some report pieces holding up through months of frequent wear. Recurring complaints are about care and quality control: reviewers report dye bleeding in the wash, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, defects on arrival, and a frustrating exchange policy — problems buyers find hard to accept at the price. Verdicts split between repeat purchasers who call the pieces worth the cost and owners who feel they paid for the name.
- Strengths
- Softness, comfort and the distinctive made-in-LA stitching are what owners praise most and what drives repeat purchases.
- Watch out for
- Dye bleed, shrinkage and easy staining in the wash are the most repeated failures, compounded by high prices and a strict exchange policy.
- Sizing
- Sizing is unisex; blogger fit reviews call the fleece true to size, with petite buyers staying at the smallest end of the XS-XXL range rather than sizing down further.
