The verdict
Fit
Rugby collar and midweight fabric create a fuller silhouette. This fits generously through the shoulders; consider sizing down if you prefer a closer cut.
Quality
Midweight terry from Reigning Champ resists pilling and maintains structure through repeated washing. The rugby panels indicate reinforced seaming.
Is the price fair?
At 70.80, the midweight construction and detailing are fairly priced for a sweatshirt that won't feel thin or wear quickly.
Best for
Anyone wanting a substantial sweatshirt for fall and winter that won't look threadbare after a season.
Care
Wash warm and tumble dry on low; avoid prolonged heat to extend the life of the nap.
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.
