To ensure a smooth transaction, please take a look at my profile before purchasing (^^) I'm selling this item in combination with others, or as a single item, so please forgive me if it sells out. ...… This is a sweatshirt, not a hoodie. The back collar is long, which looks cute when paired with overalls, etc. The strings at the neck seem to be removable, so if you're concerned about them, please consider removing or cutting them. I wore this often, so it shows signs of wear, with some slight fading and pilling, but there are no noticeable stains. There is one spot, if you look closely, a brown stain on the chest.
