The verdict
Fit
Oversized, relaxed-fit zip-hoodie with roomy body and dropped shoulders. Ocean blue is subdued compared to the solid orange; fit is consistent and runs loose throughout.
Quality
Zip-closure construction with flatlock stitching and soft fleece body. Mid-range durability typical of Aviator Nation's collab line; zipper quality is solid.
Is the price fair?
At $189, fairly priced for the zip-hoodie tier in the Aviator Nation range. The price reflects license, brand heritage, and zipper quality; fabric is standard mid-luxury.
Best for
Mets fans who prefer zip closures for layering flexibility and want the brand's signature oversized, vintage aesthetic.
Care
Zip up before washing to prevent zipper snagging; wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain the fit.
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.
