What owners report about Champion tops
Champion's reputation in tops is carried by its Reverse Weave fleece line, which one testing site rated among its highest sweatshirts for value, citing thick fabric and a cross-grain construction knit so the garment shrinks in width rather than length. Owner reviews of recent production are more mixed: some report sweatshirts that shrink dramatically after the first wash despite following care instructions, material that feels thin and cheap, and logos peeling off sleeves. Forum posters similarly question whether newer Reverse Weave runs match the build of older pieces, noting construction details that have changed from earlier production.
- Strengths
- The Reverse Weave line is repeatedly rated a strong value — thick fleece built to resist shrinking in length and reported to hold up over years of wear.
- Watch out for
- Inconsistency is the recurring complaint: dramatic first-wash shrinkage, thin-feeling fabric and peeling logos appear in recent owner reviews, and forum posters say newer runs aren't built like older ones.
- Sizing
- The cut is boxy and relaxed, and reviewers say to expect moderate shrinkage of about 3% to 4% — mostly in width rather than length — so owners generally keep their usual size.
