Any info on the sizing/build quality of this? According to the Etsy shop the smallest size is a 40'' chest and some of the details look to be made out of cheap fleece...

devook@devook Where are you reading these details? I've spoken directly to Catherine and the reviews speak for themselves: http://www.etsy.com/people/ohmytrendhunter/feedback?ref=l2-feedback-item-overview

andyThe chest sizes are listed in the product description. According to the listed sizes, I would expect this thing to run large. However, there is an example order of someone with a 35 inch chest (who wears a medium, what?) ordering a large. For reference, I have a 36'' chest and typically order smalls or extra smalls.<br /><br />There is no specification for the fabrics used on the product page other than "cotton," which is why I was speculating, especially since the shaped pieces appear to be made out of wool or fleece. I read through many of the reviews and found almost nothing about the build quality or fit. Almost all of the reviews seem to be posted immediately after receiving the item and don't say much beyond "it's warm." I found one review that said one of the shoulder pieces fell off almost immediately...<br /><br />Edit: Sorry I'm working off the product information given on the etsy page. I just read the description on the massdrop page. The two descriptions seem to be at odds with each other. Her Etsy page states the hoodie is cotton, whereas fleece is wool or synthetic (I've never heard of Polapolis before but I would assume if it is fleece it is not cotton).

devookThe sample order she gives in the description is pretty bad. I asked myself about sizing and the best way to go about it is whip out the measuring tape and get your chest and height, For the s,m,l,xl, choose the size you would normally wear for hoodies. I have a swimmer build, but I'm short so I put in 42 chest, 66 height and medium.<br /><br />In terms of type of fabric, it's lost in translation if you haven't caught on yet, but it's a fleece material.<br /><br />For the bad review you've read, that's one of roughly 100. Last time I checked that's still an A in my book. If bad quality was an issue, people would be talking about it.
