Is This $115 Sweatshirt Worth It? Reigning Champ Haul and Try-On

About this video

McGoff tries on several pieces from Reigning Champ, a high-end Canadian basics brand known for quality construction and materials. He evaluates fit, comfort, and value across a sweatshirt, t-shirts, and shorts, determining which items are worth the premium price point for his frame as a shorter man.

Key takeaways

  • McGoff argues that investing in high-quality basics like a durable crewneck sweatshirt can be worthwhile if you’ll wear them long-term, though he acknowledges the premium pricing isn’t accessible or appealing to everyone
  • McGoff found that Reigning Champ’s sizing in extra small worked well for his frame (under 5'6", 120 lbs) on some items like the sweatshirt, but other pieces like the Raglan tee and shorts ran long and weren’t ideal fits
  • McGoff recommends air-drying higher-end cotton pieces to preserve quality and prevent unwanted shrinkage, and suggests trying items on to assess whether they justify their cost before committing
