The verdict
Fit
Champion's reverse weave sits true to size with a classic crewneck fit, neither oversized nor slim. Expect modest shoulder structure and a slightly boxy cut.
Quality
Reverse weave is Champion's hallmark construction and performs well in the budget category. The fabric resists shrinking and pilling better than standard fleece at this price.
Is the price fair?
Budget tier, fairly priced. At 60 USD, this is genuine value — no hidden markup for basics.
Best for
Anyone who wants a dependable, no-fuss crewneck for work, school, or casual layering.
Care
Machine wash cool and tumble dry low; reverse weave improves with washing but can develop a peach finish with heavy dryer heat.
What owners report about Champion sweatshirts
Champion's sweatshirt range is anchored by Reverse Weave, a cross-grain knit built so the fabric shrinks in width rather than length. Owners on Zappos describe the current crews as thick, heavy, and durable — one reports past sweatshirts lasting over 20 years before wearing out — and a hands-on review puts the hoodie at 12 oz with durability to last years of wear. Longtime buyers and editorial coverage note the standard Reverse Weave blend has shifted toward more polyester over the years, with an all-cotton fabric now reserved for the Classic version.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently rate Reverse Weave as thick, heavy, and durable for the money, with the cross-grain construction keeping length through washes.
- Watch out for
- Longtime buyers say the standard blend has gained polyester and older versions were thicker, and the cut runs large — several owners found their usual size far too big.
- Sizing
- The fit is boxy and runs big — multiple Zappos owners recommend sizing down on the Reverse Weave crew, while one hands-on review calls it true to size for a boxy cut but suggests sizing up only if you want a longer body.
