What’s more comfortable than French Terry fabric? Brushed French Terry fabric. Basically, this hoodie’s fabric loops have been brushed to give it a fuzzy touch for an extra soft feel that’s better than any cuddly blanket you grew up with. It’s also washed for a lived-in look that’ll get better with each wear. The nice weight also makes it great for standalone wear.

What Do Experts Say? “With this garment, Buck Mason has managed to find a way to make a hoodie look very comfortable without looking too casual… But it’s also sleek, and paired with a solid pair of chinos or some slim-fit jeans, it’s an office power move that’ll fill your most buttoned-up colleagues with envy,” says Ben Boskovich, editorial & creative consultant.
