I purchased the crew neck sweater & the non-zip hoodie, (pictured below.)
Context of purchase
My grandpa worked as an engineer for NASA on the Apollo projects 10 thru 17.
He passed away a few years back, so I'm doing my best to pickup as much NASA swag that I can to represent the pride our family feels about his legacy.
Product Praise
They're both extremely comfortable to wear over a shirt or by themselves.
Co-workers & clients love them & always react positively to them, (pictured.)
So far it's been a great conversation starter with some of my business clients, especially when I run into engineers!
They're stylish, & I get to carry something to do with NASA around with me wherever I go!
For some reason, there are times when I cannot show off my tattoo's or my Godspeed SA Keycap set, (pictured) so these sweaters will have to fill that gap.

Product Concerns
The circumference inside the arms are not roomy at all, and are almost too snug.
I own some other die-sublimated novelty sweaters the same size that don't have any stretch like these ones, and the arms on both of these sweaters seem tighter than any other sweaters I own when they arrived.
I'm worried that further washing just might make them unwearable - I'm doing my best avoid potential shrinkage.
Despite the snug circumference inside the arms, the arm & chest lengths fit as expected - as I found the length of the arms to be a perfect length proportionate to the clothes I wear at my size, (5'9.5", 170 - 180lbs)
Other than the snug fit around the arms, they're very comfortable & look great. Not even going to knock down to 4 stars because I haven't exactly experienced an issue with the above concerns - though I will amend that if my experience changes at all in the future.

If you're willing to provide some feedback whether these comments were good or not, (even if you think the NASA novelty collection photo is lame) I would definitely appreciate it. I put in a fair bit more thought than I do at my own job sometimes on writing responses on Massdrop, so any / all feedback will help teach me how to do it good-er.
cepowersYeeeeah buddy, it's been a while!
They haven't sold them since this drop which is a damn shame since I want to get some numpad modifiers for it.
Got the Charcoal/Red '80s Logo in a small. Wasn't expecting anything more than standard sweatshirt and that's what I got. Screen printing is doubleshot on white which people are complaining about but I'm not sure they're considering how dark a red can get if you don't print it that way. Heavier/thicker red ink layer would've been nice.
I purchased the ”NASA Simple pullover“ and the retro rocket one. The quality is incredibly lacking for the price, seeing as it‘s a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester. The designs are also not as advertised. I liked how vibrant and rich the NASA logo was on the Simple Pullover and was thoroughly disappointed with how it actually looks in person (picture attached). I should have trusted my gut and avoided getting this but the dumb science bitch within me just couldn’t resist.
lastly, that vibrant red on navy on the Retro hoodie is as horrible in person as it is on screen.
sizing is good tho
Its not a terrible sweater, but it is definitely far from what I was expecting from the photos. Dull colors and a weird edge around the lettering is what really put me off on this drop.
I bought 2 hoodies (one zip-up and one pullover). Both are extremely low quality and did not reflect the promotion pictures. If I had seen these two sweaters in person I would not have purchased them. I definitely feel ripped off. I’ll question all future purchases on Massdrop moving forward.
atomsI bought two shirts & 1 sweatshirt. I finally received two shirts after much delay but never my sweatshirt & they keep your money! The vendor for mass drop for znAsa materials is a chest! Do not but these products! You have been warned!
Hoodie was very cheap quality. Did not seem like the premium quality that was advertized. Drop picture showed a v-neck heather gray hoodie. Delivered item was a Jerzees hoodie with no v-neck and was solid gray.

Screen print color was dull. Was supposed to be bright red NASA logo and ended up a faded dark pink. The edges of the logo were yellow. Contacted support for a refund.
Hoodie is standard quality, and fits true to size. The reason why I only give a one star is the fact that the print is defective. It looks like the hoodie was bunched up during printing instead of lying flat, so there are large crack like portions that just let the black of the hoodie show through. At first, I thought it was on purpose for a "aged look" but I immediately remembered A) I would have never selected the style if it looked like that. B) This looks nothing like the quality of what the example photo showed.
Pretty bummed because this isn't a slight defect, this is pretty obvious and should have been caught in quality control.
