I agree with SylviaCaroline on this. I have the mermaid hoodie and I've never had any garment show so much pilling so quickly. It's a bummer.

Got the Light Blue shirt, As the other poster said, the Shoulders glow well, the front of the shirt does not.
Very Disappointed.

Got the Asphalt hoodie, definitely with some of the other comments. The paint does have a weird smell to it however I have yet to wash to out about the smell. The selves ARE too long personally its fine by me. The only thing that actually disappoints me is that glow-in-dark barely appears in on the front however the printing on the shoulders head show up perfectly in the dark. I've been wearing it for about a week so I don't if its because of the vest I wear and all the glow-in-the-dark features rubbed off on it or was already wore down before it was delivered.

Buy at your own risk!
I love the look of this hoodie, I don't even mind that the pockets were painted shut and the design is misaligned. Gives it an authentic sort of vibe, or something.
BUT! the sleeves are way too long and the small seems awfully large over all. My main complaint is that after a week of ownership the whole thing is covered with pilly little cotton balls. It already looks worse than the hoodie I bought this to replace.
Pretty disappointed, Threadless. {{sad emoticon here}}

I ordered the asphalt hoody, and it looks like a factory second. The design is misaligned. The sleeves are *way* too long, and different lengths to boot! I decided to avoid the hassle and expense of return shipping (Also I was concerned that the next hoody I received might not be any better overall). It had a faint "made-in-China" chemical smell, so I washed it before wearing it.
Washing this hoody in the washing machine produced a large amount of hydrogen sulphide gas - well beyond the volume capabilities of any human digestive system. For people wondering if the smell is that bad, well, yes it is. Washing this hoody just once, stunk out my laundry, the adjoining room (even though the door was shut) and my entire backyard.
The smell seems to be coming from the paint, which is still tacky to the touch. This hoody still reeks so much after the second wash that it is unwearable. I think all of the glow in the dark properties will have been washed/worn away before I even get a chance to wear this garment for the first time.
The quality control is so poor that I am having serious doubts about ordering anything else from Threadless in the future.

the zipper is a bit poorly made

got mine over the summer virtually no issues with the print quality (looks fine maybe a few cm to high or low one a side but no issue) smells fine, glows well in the dark, and will look smashing at the midnight showing of Tron legacy.
thanks!

K, I bought this..a fa month or two ago. In Mermaid Green.
First of all, the size was HUGE. I ordered a girl's Medium (which is the size I am) & it looked like a guys' medium. But I didn't return it, it just felt like too much of a hassle.
Secondly, the design is pretty off. Near the zip line, it almost looks like its "melted" or something. I've been trying to get it off, but no dice.
Well, I guess I got a bit lucky. My hoodie doesn't reek & it glows pretty good in the dark..but only when it's completely dark.
I'm just a little dissatisfied with how much the hoodie costs for the quality of it.

Hey, got this hoody a couple weeks ago. first of all, i love the design, really cool and it's Tron, so it's awesome.
Second, the bad stuff, as said, it reeks when it gets wet and i mean REALLY reeks. and mine is also out of line. tbh after a couple of bad experiences with threadless, I'm starting to really get put of it.

Okay, so it wasn't just me and the smell with the Asphalt hoodie. I gentle cycle washed it and Fabreezed it, which kind of worked, but not that well. You just have to wait it out. It'll go away eventually. I've had no issues with the Mermaid hoodie; smell, glow, etc.
End of line.

I love this design, and couldn't wait for my garments -my first order from Threadless- to arrive! I am not impressed with the quality of the print, and am pretty discouraged with ordering from Threadless. Gaps, uneven positioning and color all take away from Rolf's awesome layout.
I *have* seen good ones in person, but they must have been from the first run. I checked a few out at a Tron event before placing my order, and they looked great and glowed strong! But the ones I received - one of each style, shirt and hoody - don't even compare. Asphalt hoody looks decent except for gaps over the zipper area and uneven color, and I managed to get all of the printing traces on the left shoulder unstuck from each other without ripping it from the fabric, But now one shoulder looks like crud, while the other is perfect. Were these packed too quickly? Both asphalt hoody and shirt have just an OK glow.
The blue hoody is a mess, and I have to send it back. There appear to be two passes on the screen (one in white glow and one in transparent blue for color) and the registration is off on mine. missing segments of screening, and neither hoody nor shirt really glows to match others I've seen in person, even under a blacklight.
I'm guess I'm just used to the quality of ThinkGeek, or TeeFury. While I expect more of an artisan vibe from Threadless, and I saw the disclaimer about "minor printing imperfections around the neck or underarm areas", this is just poor QC; I have better-printed all-over-design freebee shirts from ComicCon in my closet.. I thought the quality would at least be up to the other Threadless shirts of this same design I've seen in person. I know people who screen shirts (even with glow inks), and they'd toss these as discards or seconds.

Just received my asphalt hoodie. Hate to say it, but the printing on mine is badly aligned too. Chest design is about 1-2cm to the right, and so one side goes onto the zip. The right shoulder design is about 4-5cm closer to the front of the hoodie than the left shoulder. Can't comment on the smell problems - if I wash it I can't send it back.
Contacted Threadless to ask if teh whole batch has the same QC problems.
I was really looking forward to this, even had to pay an extra £13 in Import VAT and Royal Mail "handling charges", which I won't get back in a refund :(

Does anyone know whether washing it will eliminate the smell? I don't want to lose the option of returning it if washing doesn't help with the odor. Although I must say, Febreeze does seem to be doing the trick. Thanks for the heads up!
