I am looking at black hoodies and have mainly purchased Real / Joe McCoy hoodies / sweats in the past - quality and fit is great (i wear an XL in most McCoys) however the fading on the darker hoodies / sweats (especially the navy) is heavy.

Before I purchase a IHSW-49 in Black I was wondering how it compares and how the black colour holds up over repeated wears and washes - I would prefer as little fading as possible for the black.

Also, how easy to remove is the IH patch at the bottom?
