I was scouting the web for a good quality hoody to wear to the gym when I came across these. They sell them on Amazon and on their website too but found they are cheapest on eBay at £11.95 each with free delivery. There are good reviews for these hoodies too on Amazon, I have provided the link below:
If you buy 3 or more there is an additional 10% discount available, working out at £10.76. I bought port, charcoal & black.

Look like good deals on the surface. You'll only ever order a 'Charles Wilson' product once though. Once you see the quality (on par, if not worse than primark) you won't touch them again..

I've got 3 of these and for the price they are very good quality and the sizes are correct and fit well.

I ordered a large for someone who usually wears large but they said it's smaller than usual large tops, sizes can vary a lot anyway though with different brands
you've only seen me naked, wait until you see me with clothes on

received one yesterday, I agree with the bad sizing comment(s) they are smaller than expected
decent enough quality but not worth any more than a tenner

:disappointed: Oh dear!
Just out of curiosity dataload, which size did you buy?
All my three hoodies fit as expected. Similar fit/sizing to that of Debenhams.

Have to disagree, have many of their polo shirts and they have been very good, much better than primarni. Not tried the hoodies though so may take your advice :smiley:

Other than the zips are cheap (on the zipped products) they are perfectly fine.

I'd got 2 of the 100% cotton tops, one of these hoodies and 3 pairs of their jeans. I've had them for 6+ months and they are holding up well.
The jeans so well I ordered my father a couple of pairs as they beat anything I've had for under £30.
Overall I've ordered from them 4 times and I'm seriously considering getting 3 of these hoodies.
Personally I find the quality about on par with the likes of GAP or Saltrock. The only thing about the hoody which I don't like is the zip, but as these are zip less it isn't a problem.
Now if you'd have said don't buy from Charles Wilson as they can be a pain in the neck to deal with then I could have understand.
My brother ordered some stuff from there main site and had a massive ball ache after a failed delivery.
However if you stick to buying via their eBay shop you'll have no issues as your doubly protected and they won't mess you around because of this.

Mine came today! For anyone wondering, to me it's as comfortable as the Nike hoody I got last Christmas.
Great post OP!
About to order my 2nd one in a different colour.

It also came with a £10 voucher with no minimum spend to use by 01/01/2016 (for use on http://www.cwclothes.co.uk only).

Ordered in grey last time this was on. Slightly darker than advertised in picture but I prefer this. Much thicker and comfier than expected. Warmer than it looks, and slightly waterproof.
Zip looks shabby with this strange pattern on it, but functions fine. Hasn't caught once in two weeks of use.
Good value imho but I wish they offered more colours.
EDIT: didn't realise that this post was for the pullover not zip lol. Well I bought the pullover too, in navy blue, and it's still amazing value for money. Slightly darker than picture again. Soft and pretty much the same as the zip as far as I can tell, just obviously no zip and one big pocket on front instead of 2 smaller ones. Comparing this to big thick cotton and wool knitted jumpers and hoodies from the likes of Tky Laundry, these hoodies are actually warmer despite being slightly thinner, due to their density.
They don't feel tatty like you'd expect from a polycotton blend, actually feel very soft after a good 3/4 washes so far. Obviously you start to get those small bumpy bits of fabric after a few washes especially on elbows but still soft to the touch.
Very big and heavy hood which I love. blocks wind and rain. Unnecessarily long drawstrings, I guess a fashion statement, I just tied a knot in them.
Only thing to bear in mind really is that because of the material, especially with lighter colours, these show everything that sticks to them (hair and fluff and stuff) more than other jumpers. Not too bad though, just use a stickey roller thingy every other day.
Oh, and they fit well just like anything else really, but are slightly tighter on the arms/waist than other hoodies and jumpers and probably have slightly shorter arms than usual because I have slightly short arms and these fit me well. Short-armed people rejoice.
This is becoming an extremely long-winded review of a £12 hoody. Basically if you're considering getting one, do it. Very good value for money and respectable quality that makes you want to get more while they're at this price.

I've no idea how people manage it, I go spinning three times a week and there's usually someone there in a hoodie and trackie bottoms, while I'm sweating through just a base layer top and a pair of shorts. Maybe they're cold blooded.

I normally go for a large and just looked at the sizing guide which states a chest size of 42-45". Isnt this a bit on the big size for a large when I've seem them closer to 40-42"?

Who is Charles Wilson? I see deals popping up on HUKD for this company all the time but I have never heard of them? I am normally up on my fashion and know most brands/designers so am I missing something special with the guy or what?

He's a made up person. I don't even think the company is UK owned. It's cheap and foreign-made so they made up a respectable English name to put on the business. To their credit, it seems to have worked!

Their website has 2 for £28 plus visit their Facebook page for a 10% off code but this still trumps it.
If you buy 3 or more items from them on eBay then you get 10% off. Picked up a few of these when the 20% eBay code was on a couple of weeks ago so ended up paying less than a tenner each.
There is a size guide on the listing and I found it to be accurate. I compared their sizes to the sizes from Debenhams and they were bang on - mine fit perfectly.
