PLEASE help me find a sweatshirt

Please help. I have an old sweatshirt from Topshop and it is my favourite item of clothing ever, but it’s about ten years old and about to fall apart. I am desperate to find a replacement. It’s surprisingly flattering and so very, very comfortable.

It’s a lightweight, very soft, acid wash grey sweatshirt, with quite a wide neck. It looks a lot like the one in the picture (but without the writing on it).

Does anyone have any ideas, please?

@JoyceDivision that one’s from Maggichic if you want it! Came up on an Instagram ad and reminded me how much I want to replace my Topshop one.

Jack Wills do similar I think.

Try ebay for people selling the same one

@HappyHammy I’ll give Uniqlo a look, thanks. Gap and Banana Republic (and everywhere else I can think of) have been no good.

@Igottastartthinkingbee everything they do has a logo on though, and even if it’s small I just really want a plain one.

@Iminaglasscaseofemotion tried that but I think it’s just too old!

Ah yes that’s true, JW can’t resist a logo.

What about this? It has a teeny pattern though so might not be your bag.

Top Shop again.

Thank you for trying! All those are nice but I think it’s the really soft, thin, acid wash material I really want. It’s something about the way it hangs.

@HappyHammy this is definitely the closest yet! At £13 it’s worth buying just in case. Thanks!

@HappyHammy I’ve gone for the blue one too but if it’s good when it arrives then I’m buying multiple versions in every colour...

Search ‘acid wash’ on ASOS. V similar denim blue colour sweatshirt & joggers set on there.

sausagedogpookie · 04/02/2020 02:02

This. It’s thin as well, as you described.

@Sparklyring those look good but I want something without a logo or picture...

@sausagedogpookie these are promising! I’ll have a closer look, thanks!

American Vintage often have faded/acid wash style sweatshirts.
