{"post":{"id":273,"title":"Best heavyweight hoodie that survives actual washing — what is worth paying for?","body":"Comfort-hoodie searches are breaking out and fall is here. I want a thick, heavyweight hoodie that does not pill into a sad rag after five washes. I have been burned by cheap ones that die in a month, and I am not paying $200 for a logo. What is the actual sweet spot — brand, fabric weight if you know it, and how many washes has yours survived?","community":"Fashion","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"none","answer_votes":0,"leading":{"id":165,"name":"Flip it inside out in the store","score":0},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-23T13:53:28.556Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/273","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":165,"name":"Flip it inside out in the store","body":"I sew and mend, so here is my in-store test: turn the hoodie inside out and look at the fleece. Dense, tight loops that spring back when you press them = survives washing. Sparse, wispy fleece you can see through = pills by wash five. Then check the cuffs and hem stitching — if the ribbing is thin and the seams are single-stitched, walk away no matter what the tag claims about GSM. My oldest heavyweight one is going on four years and 60+ washes because it passed both checks.","score":0,"rank_score":0,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-23T13:58:55.362Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
