Where can I get a nice quality women's hoodie?

My go-to hoodie is pretty tattered and I need to replace it. I'm looking for a nice comfy hoodie - not a boxy athletic type, but an everyday comfortable hoodie that looks OK walking around the block. Any suggestions?

I love everything made by Athleta.  Pricey but lasts forever.  Triumph Hoodie is great.

I've heard American Giant is really good. They now have a shop on 4th St. 

I am a hoodie collector. My current favorite is the Zoe hoodie from Woolx--it is pricey but durable, soft, and warm without being hot. It also NEVER stinks because it is made out of merino wool. I also love the Triumph hoodie from Athleta--also pricey but durable, with great construction. They're both cozy with thumb holes (which are nice if you wear your hoodie under a rain jacket. Otherwise, for a less pricey option, I really like the soft zip up from Alternative. I've had mine for years and it's still in good shape. Will be following this thread for other people's favorite hoodie choices! :)

I've liked the hoodies I've gotten from Title Nine over the years - they're pricey (at least by my standards - I wait for sales), but they last a long time and have a stylish cut (and often lots of pockets!). Prana also makes similar hoodies that walk the line between functional and cute - Sports Basement often has them.

I LOVE all things Vuori...it’s $$ but so so comfy

If you want to splurge I love everything I’ve ever gotten from Vuori (their joggers are what their known for) but their hoodies are also great. 

My husband and I both love our hoodies from America Giant. Very well made here in the USA with thick fabric, quality hardware, and nicely fitted. We ordered ours online but they have recently opened a store at Fourth Street in Berkeley.

I love American Giant hoodies. They are form-fitting but not too tight, very durable, and come in nice colors. They make hoodies with different weights and thickness. The "classic" hoodie is the warmest, but not too warm, perfect for the 50s - low 60s degree weather we have in the winter here. I also have a water-repellant "storm" hoodie and a mid-weight hoodie and love them all.

Cotton Basics on College in Elmwood if you want to shop in person or Pact Organic if you want to shop online. Both have very good quality. Cotton  Basics replaced the zipper on my last hoodie which made it last until it literally fell apart. Pact is Organic and conscious about environmental impact. Both great companies and comfy but stylish hoodies. 

I am a huge fan of Icebreaker merino wool hoodies. They are pricey but so high quality. I live in mine year round. They are cut slim so you may want to size up. I’m usually a small and got a medium. 

American Giant makes great hoodies, zip & pullover. SF-based company, products made in the US. https://www.american-giant.com/collections/womens-hoodies-sweatshirts

Don't know your style, but my favorite hoodie is the "Marlston" made by the brand Joules. Here's a link to it in navy stripe, but they also offer it in various floral patterns and different colors.

It's not boxy at all. In fact I sized up in it from my usual Joules sweater size.
