The verdict
Fit
Standard fit with fitted shoulders. Heavyweight jersey is structured and substantial; it won't shrink or thin appreciably. True to size; don't expect it to break in significantly.
Quality
Heavyweight jersey is dense and resists pilling. Reigning Champ's construction is precise. Expect this to outlast lighter crewnecks with standard care.
Is the price fair?
At 88, a heavyweight jersey crewneck from Reigning Champ is fairly priced for the material substance and brand reliability.
Best for
Someone wanting a robust, no-nonsense crewneck for fall and winter that will survive years of regular wear.
Care
Machine wash warm and tumble dry low; the heavyweight fabric benefits from consistent care to maintain shape.
What owners report about Reigning Champ sweatshirts
Owners report Reigning Champ's all-cotton terry and fleece sweats as unusually durable, with flatlock stitching that draws consistent praise and fabric that softens rather than degrades with washing. Reviewers describe the cut as longer and slimmer than an average hoodie, with the heavyweight fleece warmer and furrier than the midweight loopback terry. Recurring complaints are practical ones tied to the 100% cotton construction: the fabric takes a long time to dry, cuffs stretch out a little over time, and prices sit well above mainstream sweats.
- Strengths
- Made-in-Canada construction and tight-woven cotton that reviewers rate as more durable than typical sweats, improving with wash and wear.
- Watch out for
- The all-cotton fabric dries very slowly and cuffs are the first thing to stretch out; the slim cut runs snug through the torso for broader builds.
- Sizing
- Expect a longer, slimmer fit than average — broader builds should size up in the Standard fit or switch to the Relaxed cut.
