'Oodies' from 5poundstuff - any good?

Hi there - I just came across the website 5poundstuff. The online reviews seem OK. They have fake Oodies for sale. Does anyone know if they are any good? I'm looking to get one for the colder months. Thanks!

The ones I received were not fake, just seconds. The tags were scissor cut off but identifiable. Dh, Dd & Ds all say it’s one of the best things I’ve bought them.

eg, up side down pattern, threadbare patch on pocket, stitching not quite up to standard.

They are brilliant, just brilliant.... but only the most expensive ones with the identifiable pouch on the front. The cheaper lightweight ones aren't that good.

On one thread we worked out some of the designs were exclusive to Australia where they are lighter weight.

Just to respond to this thread, I actually ordered the blue/white tye dye one and can confirm it is an Oodie!

I love mine. But tempted by a lighter weight one

I am intrigued by these I've never bought one I invested in throws last year for the sofa and thick pj's

I got a genuine Oodie and the print was just upside down

I've had 4 from 5 pound stuff with tags cut, 2 children star wars and an adult rick and morty & otter and believe they're genuine and seconds, I have 2 from the oodie site which I have compared them to

I just received mine: https://www.5poundstuff.com/products/sn2-cl-dec22-true-face-unisex-blanket-hoodie-tiedye-sty2-one-size?pos=1&_sid=074ed23a4&_ss=r

No tags, and not that impressive. I have three of these ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0851KN668/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they are MUCH thicker and better. I am going to see if I can send the new one back.
