Michigan State High Standard Fleece Crew - Mountain Black

Sweatshirts

$168as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Faherty

The verdict

Licensed fleece at $168 with the same value trade-off — brand fees inflate price; garment quality is solid but secondary.

Fit

High Standard crew; relaxed athletic fit with comfortable proportions. Black is more versatile than lighter heathers. Size true for a roomy relaxed fit.

Quality

Faherty's fleece construction is sound — expect mid-weight, durable yarn with good seaming. The quality is there, but it doesn't justify the price premium on its own.

Price check

Mid-premium with significant collegiate licensing markup. Quality is above average for the category, but the price reflects brand and school affiliation, not just garment merit.

Best for

Michigan State alumni and fans; identity and nostalgia are the primary purchase drivers here.

Care

Gentle wash in cool water to protect the print/stripe; lay flat to preserve the design integrity.

True to size

Faherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.

Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.
