The verdict
Fit
Follows the same oversized 90s shape scaled down; size for the child's age and expect a roomy, not fitted, result.
Quality
Should hold up to typical kid wear consistent with the brand's standard fleece, without evidence of extra reinforcement for kids' rougher use.
Is the price fair?
$135 is high for kidswear regardless of brand, and final-sale terms remove any safety net if sizing is off.
Best for
A parent set on the matching family look who has already sized the child correctly.
Care
Wash cold and dry on low heat to extend wear before the child grows out of it.
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.
