GUC has some mild pilling and wear but not very noticeable. The pics are making it look worn but it’s just the texture of the knit it’s a thick sweatshirt material and still soft on the inside. Pretty warm bought in Canada and so sad it’s too small. Thumb holes and really long. I’m 5”9’ and it was long enough when I was like 150lbs or less so I’d say a small runs big. So many compliments and so cozy and rare find. Darker gray than pics. No rips or stains First pics for fit reference
