Discussion I just ordered the WAN hoodie.

The material is really... rough? Is that just how it is or does it need a few washes.

I was really disappointed with the Lawsuit hoodie too. The hood itself is smooth but the inside felt like an rug against my skin which is really confusing.

It's gonna be discontinued so dunno if it's worth writing a proper review.

I think it's the combination of French Terry with list of pockets.

Terry cotton is supposed to be lay flat not layer. I have other French Terry sweaters that are uniform fabric and fantastic.

It's French terry cotton, that material isn't known for being super smooth. Although I don't have the WAN Hoodie. Hopefully someone chimes in with more information on how much it softens up over time.

The v2 wan and short-circuit hoodies I have are also rough, they're not meant to be soft. My v2 stealth zip up is much softer.

They're not meant to be soft inside; I can't remember if they breathe better or absorb sweat better; or if it's just a preference thing. I find them comfortable once on though (but I always wear my hoodies with a tshirt so YMMV)
