Loopback Sweatshirt
About Sunspel’s sweatshirts: Sunspel's sweatshirt range is built almost entirely on one fabric: its cotton loopback jersey, cut into crewneck, oversized, half-zip and polo variants in a long run of plain colors. The crewneck Loopback Sweatshirt is the version owners and reviewers actually discuss.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Loopback Sweatshirt is the crewneck Sunspel builds its sweats range around: a 100% cotton body with a looped-back interior, made in Portugal and sold in more than twenty plain colors. Owners and reviewers report a soft handle that improves with washing and a fabric that resists pilling well. The honest trade-offs: it is a light-to-mid layer rather than a heavy fleece, and at around $170 part of what you pay for is refinement and brand positioning, not warmth.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- A 100% cotton loopback body — the internal loop stitch traps heat while staying breathable — with ribs of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, made in Portugal.
- Fit
- A regular, neat cut that sits close without being tight, trim enough to wear under a jacket. Owner reports call it true to size.
- Quality
- Reviewers report the fabric resists pilling better than most sweatshirt materials and softens rather than degrades across repeated washes.
- Best for
- Someone who wants one refined, layerable cotton crewneck in a plain color and accepts premium-tier money for a lighter-weight sweatshirt.
- Care
- The brand's guidance is a gentle 30°C machine wash with no tumble drying and no dry cleaning.
How Sunspel sweatshirts hold up overall
Reviewers consistently describe the loopback sweatshirts as exceptionally soft, mid-weight cotton — substantial without bulk — cut trim and neat enough to wear under a jacket. Several note the fabric resists pilling and gets softer with age and washing rather than degrading. The recurring caution is care: the cotton shrinks noticeably in a tumble dryer, and one reviewer found the interior only moderately soft compared to the exterior.
- Strengths
- Very soft loopback cotton in a neat, true-to-size cut that reviewers say improves with age and washing.
- Watch out for
- The cotton shrinks noticeably if tumble-dried — owners must air-dry — and the interior is less plush than the exterior.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report a true-to-size, trim regular cut — order your usual size and air-dry to keep it that way.
