SCOTTeVESTCotton Hoodie for Men - 21 Hidden Pockets - Lightweight Zip Up Sweatshirt for Travel & More

Expensive, but well made. Comfy and warm with too many pockets. Love it.

I'm female, and I wanted a regular men's/unisex hoodie, rather than a modified "women's" style. Factoring comfort over appearance, this is a real winner (and it looks cute, in an oversized way). I'm a short/petite woman (5' tall), and the men's XS fits long/loose on me, but doesn't look too big or ridiculous. It must run a bit small to look okay on someone my size. The approximate measurements for XS are 19" across the chest, 15.5" across the waist, 25" in length, 21" armpit to cuff.This sweatshirt is cut loose in the upper sleeves and armpits for easy layering. It feels like a cozy blanket, and I can easily imagine falling asleep in it. I love the extra-long cuffs with the thumbholes (especially compared to the Baubax sweatshirt with an entirely separate cuff that has to be tucked inside). Just fold the cuff in half when not using the thumbholes. I also appreciate that the main hand-warmer pockets are quite large. On the size XS, the outer edges of the pockets almost meet the side seams of the sweatshirt itself. The inside pockets add a bit of bulk to the front, but not too much, and if you chose this style of sweatshirt, you probably won't mind that. I haven't stuffed the inside pockets with items yet, because I bought this sweatshirt for everyday use more than for traveling, but I do plan to use them to some extent.I found the headphone cable management system at the back of the neck bulky and unnecessary, and the velcro there scratches if it's not positioned perfectly, so I removed it with a seam ripper. I also added snaps to keep the "Do Not Disturb" eye mask inside the hood, since it tends to flop out when you aren't using it.Overall, this is a very comfortable, useful sweatshirt and I'm looking forward to the next cool day so I can wear it again!

I easily recommend this to any guys interested is a simple, comfortable, high quality hoodie with ample pockets. It does run a little big, so expect a relaxed fit with a lot of room in the shoulders and torso.I bought this as a small woman looking for a comfy every day hoodie with lots of discreet pockets. I knew it was a mens jacket so I expected it to be oversize and not "cute", but unfortunately it runs large enough that even in an XS the shoulders are comically large on my frame. Disappointing as the jacket is a great product.The closest womens equivalent to this appears to be the Chloe hoodie, but I dislike the gimmicky full zipper and the quality is markedly lesser than this mens cotton hoodie. If they made a female version of this that was equally cozy, simple, and well made and designed, I would buy it today.

I've just returned from a weeklong visit to England during which I experienced the typical extremes of English weather: from cold wet mornings that dipped to near freezing to bright sunny Indian summer afternoons. The ScotteVest Hoodie Cotton jacket was an invaluable asset. It was warm and thick enough to keep me feeling dry and fairly comfortable during those drippy chills, but light enough that it wasn't unbearably warm during those pleasant afternoons.There are indeed a multiplicity of pockets, each with its own zipper. One interior pocket was large enough to hold the leather folder in which my travel documents arrived. Others were handy for carrying things like maps. Best of all, it folds or rolls up into a very small bundle, easily storeable in my backpack. I plan to hang onto and rely on this jacket for my return trips to the UK and other Northern areas for many years to come.

This is the second Scott event that I have. I wear both jackets for casual use but I especially love them for travel because they have plenty of secure pockets for my travel as well as personal documents/ items.

I'm usually a large and while I expected the hoodie to be a little larger, than myself due to the pockets and what you can put in them, it is a little larger than I expected. However I like to wear two hoodies depending on the weather so this isn't a huge thing to me.I think this would be great for someone who needs lots of pockets but doesn't mind the bulk it brings. Sure I can fit a bunch of my gear (sketchbooks, phones, pens, tablets) but it isn't very comfortable when I'm trying to drive with all those things in my pockets. The weight management system works okay if you don't have overly heavy items but as soon as you put multiple things it then looks and feels strange. I wish there was a counter balance weight or pocket on the back to change this. All the pockets are sewn into the front of the hoodie and stop at the top of the shoulders instead of going all the way to the back. This could work if say you wear a jacket over the hoodie but wearing the hoodie alone feels a little cumbersome even without anything in the pockets.The outer material is starting to pill after one wash which is a little disappointing as I like the clean look from a freshly bought hoodie. The material itself is still fine just looks unsightly.If you don't use the thumb holes in the sleeve you can easily fold them over, which is a nice add on. The cuffs when fully extended are pretty long and look funny/feel uncomfortable for me. In a pinch or when I've forgotten gloves it is nice to know that I have the option.The main zipper works almost too well and doesn't get caught on any of the interior/exterior fabrics. Closing the interior zippers one handed is a chore though as it requires two hands most of the time. Not a big deal but there have been a few times where I needed to do things one handed and I couldn't.The front pockets, funny enough, almost have too may pockets. I lose things in there due to the hand warmer pockets and the zipper pocket all combining to make a "maze" in the front pockets. The one complaint I have about the hoodie's front pocket is that on the front right side the zipper at the top has come out a little bit. So that when I put my hand in the side pocket I find my thumb (or the muscle next to the thumb) is scratched.Overall the idea is great, the execution is pretty decent, but the fabrics/design need a little more refinement.
