The verdict

A retro-cut crewneck priced as the most expensive basic sweatshirt in the lineup, mostly on styling and nostalgia appeal.

Fit

The '90s' name suggests a boxier, vintage-inspired cut, likely fuller through the body than the brand's slimmer pieces; true to size or size down for a less exaggerated fit.

Quality

Expect the same heavyweight cotton fleece the brand uses across its crewnecks; the retro cut is a styling choice, not a construction upgrade.

Price check

At $170, this is at the top of the premium tier for a sweatshirt; the price reflects the brand name and retro styling far more than the materials.

Best for

Someone who specifically wants a boxier, retro-styled crewneck in this brand and isn't shopping on value.

Care

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low to keep the fleece from shrinking out of its intended boxy shape.

What owners report about ESSENTIALS sweatshirts

Reviewers describe the ESSENTIALS sweatshirt line as cotton-blend fleece pitched at a 'medium weight' rather than heavyweight — one write-up notes it 'focuses on feel and silhouette, not extreme fabric weight' and that owners aren't 'paying for complex construction or rare materials.' A separate review that tracked wear over time reports the fleece 'becomes softer over time — not thinner,' with minimal shrinkage when washed cold and air-dried, while another assessment calls the stitching and construction 'clean but not noticeably superior' for the price.

Strengths: Reviewers consistently note the fleece softens with wear rather than thinning out, and the boxy, dropped-shoulder cut reads as an intentional design choice rather than sloppy sizing.
Watch out for: More than one reviewer says the cotton and stitching quality is decent but not exceptional given the price, so buyers shouldn't expect standout construction.
Sizing: The line runs oversized and boxy by design — reviewers recommend true to size for the intended relaxed look or sizing down one full size for a more tailored fit, and note crewnecks fit looser than the hoodies.
