YESDEX Wearable Unisex Blanket Hoodie

The packet came beautifully wrapped with a gorgeous yellow ribbon around it.
 
This is a large oversized hoodie, larger than others that I own. I'd say it's more a man size than the average hoodie. I'm 5.2" and this reaches half my calves. Something I don't mind in winter. Yet, it seems more a xl version of the hoodie. The main issue with this is not the length, which I don't mind at all, but the sleeves length. The sleeves are super long and, although the cuffs have a great hold and pressure, they cannot hold the excess length in cases like mine, when the arms are those of a small lady not a man's. Said differently, unless you are a man or a tall person, the excess fabric will get into the way or your cooking, dishwashing, or craft making.
 
I love the front pocket and the fact that the neck doesn't have a zip. Very cozy and shiny acrylic fabric in a neutral colour that allows me to go outside without looking a circus performer.
 
The most important thing is this hoodie is very warm made of a wonderful soft acrylic fabric. It saves me energy, because I don't switch the heater as much as I would when not wearing this hoodie. I have slept with it a couple of times and I get the most glorious warm cozy feeling.  
 
As the label says to wash it before use, I did that. Of course, it lost a bit of its shiny new lustre, but it looks as new, no shedding, no shrinking, and came of the washer really fluffy.

Yellow-Price Wearable Blanket with Zipper Oversized Hoodie

This oversized hoodie is the comfiest item of clothing I've bought this year. I really love wearing it because of its plush tact, warmth and how light feels on. I thought it would not be as warm as it is due to the lightness of the materials it's made of, but it is. 

 

The size is really huge and I think it can fit most adults. The sleeves cuff around the wrists holding the excess sleeve length that can be expected from an oversized item. This is important as I tend to do the dishes or cook with this robe on and the cuffing prevents my sleeves to get fully stained or fully soaked; I still have to be careful as the excess material is still there.  

 

The hood part of the hoodie is also a bliss to wear, something I do when it's really cold at room temperature and my heater obviously doesn't reach my head. I especially love the feeling around my ears when I have it on.

I like the discreet neutral color, which doesn't stand out (for the wrong reasons) when I go out to get the rubbish out, for example. Also, it doesn't feel like a pajama or child-like as other oversized winter hoodies. 

I bought this one at a discounted price and that's an added bonus.

 

This has become a winter essential for me and I wear it all day long when at home. I have noticed that, since I started using this hoodie, I switch my heater way less, which makes me happy because that's power and money I'm saving. 

 

DOWNSIDES

Some of the inner fleece started coming off almost immediately and I worry that it'll  come off once I put it in the washing machine. I will update this review and rating after my first wash if needed. 

 

Also, the zip came unsewn on the upper part after barely any use and, not even a month after purchase, the zip head got broken for no reason. So, not the best craftsmanship or quality.  

UPDATE 14/04/2023

I've washed the hoodie in the washing machine, everyday sort of setting, high speed spinning, and it washed well and, despite my initial fears, no fleece came off.
