Default Review: Layonara Fantasy Wear Clothing

Alright, so I got my grey layo logo hoodie and my red layo logo shirt in the mail the other day and I figured I'd post a review on the quality of the materials, since thats something thats hard to judge in the pictures.

- The Hoodie (That means hooded sweatshirt in case hoodie is a regional expression.)

It is very fuzzy and fits well, especially the hood. The fabric is as thick as a standard hoodie, like one you would buy at a university with their name on it. It is almost identical to a champion brand college hoodie I own. It's not as thick and warm as one hoodie I own but I paid almost twice as much for the very thick one.

Something to note if you want to get a layo hoodie: if you want a big baggy one, get 1 size larger than you were planning to. I checked one of my hoodies that is fairly oversized and it was a medium so I got a medium. It's not so baggy. It fits well and will be good for the spring/summer/fall, but in the winter I tend to wear several sweaters under a hoodie and I wont be able to fit all that under this one comfortably.

The printing is colorful and much better than transfer style printing and looks like it will hold up much longer than transfers. If you look real close the image/color quality isn't as good as a silkscreen but I think silkscreens are more limited in color choice and number of colors.

Final Review
Materials: Very Good
Cut and Fit: Very Good
Printing: Good

- The Red Logo Short Sleeve T-Shirt


The materials of this shirt are great. I just went shopping the other day at the local mall and the layo shirt's materials were better than a lot of the shirts I saw for sale at the mall.

The cut and fit of the shirt are good too. The body length is longer than usual which is fine by me, I suppose whether this is a pro or con depends on the wearer but I thought I'd mention it. Cut about the neck chest and shoulders fits well in every way and the tag doesn't make my neck itch (Huzzah!) Unlike the hoodie, if you're getting a T-shirt get exactly the size you expect to need. The sizing of this shirt matches most of my other t-shirts.

The printing on this shirt impressed me more than the printing on the hoodie actually. Since I got a dark red one it was more expensive, but upon inspecting it, I noticed that a layer of white was printed under the logo, making it stand out against the red. Very nice. I suppose that's why they cost a couple bucks more than the same shirt in a light color. It looks nice though and I wanted a red one.

Final Review:
Materials: Excellent
Cut and Fit: Very Good
Printing: Very Good

I invite others who buy stuff on the store to do similar reviews. It will be especially useful to others to know things like to buy 1 size larger in a hoodie if they want a baggy one. Stuff that will let us get clothes that we're happy with despite not being able to try them on first.

Overall I'm happy with my purchases. If I get a hold of a camera I'll post photos of them : )
