Fat face sweatshirts and alternatives, possibly

[paddingtoncoffee]

I love the fat face crew neck (Georgia) sweatshirts for day to day wear (wfh, look fine on camera, warm enough, don't itch etc), however I am just about to bin another one as it's literally falling apart. There are holes along various seams, and the fabric in various places is wearing very thin.

The thing is I have had this jumper since June, checked my orders. Price per wear, I'm actually very happy, but is there a more "robust" option out there that ticks the same box? I like the slightly muted shades, the sizing works and so on

I am certainly prepared that this might be the lifetime of clothes nowadays, but it does feel a bit short. On the other hand, I don't think there's been a period in my life when I've worn the same thing so consistently since school uniform days!

(With the added benefit of a much better cut than the FF version.)

(I’m afraid it is the way things are going. Years ago I had a cotton and leather top from Cos that I must have worn at least twice a week for about five years. Washed in the machine countless times and always came out perfect. More recently, over lockdown, I bought a linen t shirt from them that developed holes within months. Same story at Toast; old stuff was indestructible, now the reviews complain of thin, see through tops that lose their shape.)

For ultimate stylishness I loved the shape of YMC’s old Earth (?) sweatshirts - they seemed to flare out at the back a little and hover around the body. Inevitably they’ve stopped making them.
