Why we love this deal

There are very few qualifiers for what we consider to be an ideal sweatshirt. As long as it's soft, cozy, and comfortable, it's usually getting added to our cart. But when we want a sweatshirt that's more stylish, and less oversized, rundown, stored in the back of your closet from your college days, not every pullover meets our criteria. Sure, there are days when you want to pull out and put on the old, stretched out, piece of apparel that you refuse to throw away (no matter how many threads fray and holes appear)  but other times, you want a sweatshirt with a little fashion sense, something that you can still look put together in even when the only thing you're focused on your clothes being is comfortable. And for folks looking for exactly that, Amazon's latest sale will definitely be of interest.

Right now, Amazon is selling a Carhartt Loose Fit Graphic Sweatshirt for 25% off. For a limited time, you can score the bestselling sweatshirt, which originally sells for $60, for just 45.

Why do shoppers love it?

As a brand that prices their merchandise on the more expensive side, this Carhartt sweatshirt is quite the steal at this Amazon sale price. Made from a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend, the midweight sweatshirt is praised for its comfortable fit. The fabric blend allows the inner lining of the sweatshirt to be smooth and silky soft on skin, while the outer lining is still just as gentle, but more durable to be able to put up with changing weather and the elements. The standard attached hood has a draw-cord closure, which allows you to tighten or loosen the fit of it around your head when it's pulled up. 

In addition to having the Carhartt logo emblazoned down one of the long sleeves of the sweatshirt, the brand's logo patch is also sewn onto the kangaroo pouch pocket around the midsection of the sweatshirt. In addition to the hood and pouch pocket, the sweatshirt has spandex-reinforced rib knit cuffs around the wrist area and the waistband. These provide stretch to those areas, as well as help keep the fabric secure and close to the body, preventing wind or cold air from creeping in and disrupting the warmth.
