Very nice soft color and material. The only change I would make would be to put a small black bird on the front of the sweatshirt also.
I love this zip sweatshirt. It’s soft and the perfect weight for our mild winters. Regular hoodies are too heavy for me. I love the poppy design to celebrate our beautiful state flower.
This is the second purchase for my granddaughter. We LOVE your products. So soft, wears well, colors are beautiful. Now her dad wants one! And I’ll be ordering my second sweatshirt at the same time.
I got a few of this Cali Wave sweatshirts and a pair of sweatpants. They're super soft and comfy just like a warm hug. True to size. Nice colors and awsome designs! Would love to have one of each! Unfortunately after a few days of wearing, they start pilling all along the sleeves. I wish the quality was better because the price is quite competitive. I had to return one of sweatshirts for now. I'll like to come back and shop more if quality will be better. Because of this i gave 4 stars review.
BeCause it an awsome brand i hope to come back. Thank-you.
I loved my new Because hoodie so much that I had to get one each for my daughter and granddaughter. We all love the quality, colors and choice of designs and I love
the great service and attention by the folks at Because Tees. P.S. my granddaughter already put a Because sweatshirt on her wish list LOL.
Love my new Cali wave zip up , the sage green is a. Ice shade , light and comfy. The trees on the back are perfect as I work in the Evergreen SD. Highly recommend!!
This zip up hoodie is just what I wanted. The fit is great and the quality seems to be really good. The material is so soft and comfy. I also love the mission of this company. I will definitely be ordering more items from BeCause!!!
I am extremely satisfied with the quality of this line . I have bought 3 tees and now this hoodie. All fit true to size. The workmanship and graphics are brilliant. The colors are lovely. I like that I am also helping a good cause but let’s be honest here. If the quality wasn’t up to par customers would not come back. Please consider buying from this company as it is a win all the way around
Gorgeous color nice feel but did not fit as well as previous purchase although same size
It’ll stop me from buying anymore, I prefer consistency
Love the Xmas raccoon design! The zip up hoodie is soft and true to size.
Love the design, the fit and the weight of the material.
I loved the cali hoodie so much that I tried the zip up cali hoodie. I love it as much as the hoodie, soft, comfy, perfect fit for me as a senior citizen. I love the hand drawn designs, so pretty, tasteful, delicate, but impactful.
They are as soft, cozy, and lightweight as advertised. I ordered the size they suggested, which was one size larger than normal but wonder if I should have ordered my regular size. They are long on me. But I'm able to kind of fold them under and make it work. The lighter pink color is more of a peach. The dusty rose in my opinion is true dusty Rose. Artwork is fabulous, but I mainly ordered them for comfort because they have no waistband, which I love. Even the zippered hoodie has no waistband.
The shirt was a gift and she loved it!!! So soft and comfy.
As with every purchase from you - I LOVE my sweatshirt!!!!! Quality - design - customer service !!!!!
Love love this company!!!!!💚🌻
I love my sweatshirt! It is soft and warm and really pretty.
I love it. It is light enough for Spring and Fall, pretty and super soft. I got the XL on the sizing recommendations but the L would have been fine. I like loose fit and I tend to wear lots of layers, so it works out in the end.
It's soft and beautiful, as advertised. I love it!
This is a very good hoodie. It’s comfy, cute, and just the right weight.
I love these hoodies. They’re really soft, but not thin, medium weight. The colors are great. The fit was spot on. They exceeded my expectations!
I love this hoodie. It’s lightweight yet surprisingly warm, perfect for early fall weather. So soft and cosy. And the design is so pretty. Really glad I bought it.
This is a very nice light weight sweatshirt. It is a gift for Christmas for my sister. The otter reminds us of our trip to Alaska.
I've been wearing this jacket this fall and love it...except that the lack of a hem makes the hemline roll up (some). Overall, I'm enjoying it!

Do your shirts fit true-to-size?
This is a difficult question to answer because everyone has a different body type and a different preference to what is their "ideal fit". We recommend you find your favorite fitting shirt in your closet and measure from armpit to armpit. Then, take a look at our size chart listed on each individual style and compare the measurements.

We only work with WRAP-certified companies to ensure ethical practices - you can find out more about this here: https://wrapcompliance.org/en/about/what-we-do/ We use US suppliers as much as possible, e.g., our Heavyweight 100% Cotton Long Sleeve and Comfort Color CrewneckTees are made with sustainably grown USA cotton and sewn with USA cotton thread, so you can feel good about supporting American farmers.
