I'm going to start off by saying I am absolutely blown away by this jacket. I was a little apprehensive before ordering due to the high price when compared to other themed hoodies but I can firmly say that it was well worth every penny.
For starters, the design is distinctly Assassin's Creed without being a cosplay jacket or branded with annoying logos that distract from the overall aesthetic. Aside from the tag inside of the jacket, the only thing that says this is specifically Assassin's Creed is the small logo on the back. When the hood is down it covers said logo which does away with the branding entirely, making it a rather appealing hoodie on its own.
Secondly, the hood itself is by all accounts perfect. Having owned several Assassin's Creed hoodies in the past, I can say that the hood is the most critical part for me. There are several beaked hoodies on the market that fall short of the iconic assassin look, many either being too floppy or misshapen. Many of the hoods themselves are oversized on top of that and many fall victim to have a pronounced pointed top which by all accounts are undesirable. I can say without a doubt that this hood is the best I've owned. Not only is it appropriately sized, but the beak itself is perfect from all angles on top of keeping its shape at all times. Even when running or jogging the hood stays atop your head without falling back. This the definitive beaked hooded jacket.
Finally, the construction and sizing are leagues above the rest as well. I was a little worried with how it would fit at first do my ******* and rather petite frame, but the sizing guide remedied all of my worries. Most unisex hoodies are either too baggy or restricting on girls but the sizing tools gives you plenty of options to get the best fit you desire! Not only do they have copious sizes to account for anyone's body type, but there's also a chart that shows how it will fit according to your measurements as well as the cut you want too. After entering my measurements and opting for a slimmer cut, the tools provided give you a recommended size as well show you how exactly how loose or tight the jacket will be. In the end I purchased a size 35 and couldn't be any happier! Not only does it fit my body comfortably but the materials themselves are high quality as well. It's well insulated but doesn't burn you up, it's breathable but wind doesn't cut through it, and the stitching is practically perfect.
In conclusion, this will be the sole jacket I recommend to those looking for that perfect Assassin's Creed jacket. For me this hits the mark in every single aspect and I am beyond happy with this product. It's subtle yet distinctly Assassin's Creed, comfortable to wear in most weather conditions, and an extraordinarily high quality product. This hoodie has completely won me over to the Volante brand and I will definitely be buying from them in the future.
