Perfect
I bought this hoodie specifically to wear under my leather jacket so I'd be able to wear it into the colder autumn/winter months.
It's super warm, but not too bulky. The hood is nice and big and unlike a lot of hoodies in this style, the neck opening doesn't feel claustrophobic.
I've bought half a dozen hoodies off of EMP, and this is by far the nicest.

Soft, warm - hood too small
Very nice hoodie. Great fit over all except the neck is a little tight and the hood is a bit smaller than I'd like.
Edit: I ended up cutting the hood off this entirely. It was way too small and annoying. Makes a nice sweatshirt without the stupidly small hood

Great hoodie - tight neck
I love this hoodie. the Quality is amazing, seams are well done, fabric is nice, fit is great. I'd love to give it 5 stars.
The neck was much much to tight and snug to be comofortable though. I could barely get it over my head.
I was going to return it, but I liked it too much so I completely removed the hood and reattached it so the overlap wasn't so drastic. This made the hood quite a bit roomier. I'd love to order the other colours, but it was just too much work altering this one and I'm not convinced ordering a size up work help. The rest of the hoodie fit great. I hope they make the hood a bit roomier in future versions because the rest of it really is lovely.
If your slender I wouldn't worry about having this problem. I'm a size 14 so I ordered a large, but if you're tall and thin with a long neck and small bone structure I'd say it'd fit great

Comfy and light
Nice and thin for the summer. I like how the sleeves don't have cuffs, so they're nice and loose on your arms and very easy to push up if it gets too hot. Like most long sleeve tops from EMP the sleeves are slightly longer than average and rest about knuckle level instead of at the wrist - which is great. The hood is a nice size and stays on your head if it's windy.
Fits true to size

Free shipping but not much else
I signed up for this back in April. I order a fair bit, and plan to start buying most of my casual clothing from EMP going forward so this will save a good chunk of money.
I'm happy with the flat fee for shipping for the year.
However, I'm a bit disappointed that the other benefits advertised don't seem to exist. When I bought it the site said that it came with a key chain and a cute tin, but they just mailed me a card. Not a big deal, I didn't really care either way, but I didn't receive what was advertised when I purchased the membership.
I also placed an order for over £100 last week and the free items link wasn't working, so I missed out on that perk as well. I emailed their dedicated backstage customer service before I placed the order and never received a response. I also called and left a message on their voice mail but didn't get a return call. I was under the impression that there was dedicated backstage customer service you're paying extra for. I placed the order despite this because the sale was ending, but I still haven't received a response a week later.
All in all, I'm happy with the "free" shipping and I'd get it again just for that, but the lack of customer service and other perks the backstage club was supposed to offer have left much to be desired.
I like the quality of EMP's clothing so I'll keep ordering, but considering most sites these days are offering free shipping anyways (or at least paid shipping that doesn't take over a week to get to central London) I was expecting a bit more.

New favourite
This top is a nice and thick sweatshirt material. The neck hits the perfect spot on your shoulders, and the fit is great. I ordered a large and normally wear a size 14. Sleeves are a great length, and the body is a great length as well.

So soft
I love this shirt.
It's soft, true to size (I ordered large and normally wear a size 14. it fits perfect), and looks lovely.
It's nice and thin, but completely opaque. The material is super stretchy, but keeps it shape and has a nice drape to it.
Edit: I've worn this top at least once a week for the last year and it's only starting to get a bit ratty now (the collar is a bit stretched out and wrinkled from washing it so many times with jeans).
I'm buying a replacement one while it's on sale! Seriously, this is my favourite shirt I have ever owned

Perfect bootcut
It's impossible to find nice boot cut jeans these days but these fit the bill. I've washed them a couple times now and hung them up to dry and they've kept their shape perfectly.
My only complaint is that the tag/patch on the back of the waistband was super scratchy until I washed them the first time. Now they're fine, I think the fake leather just needed to break in a bit.

Great quality
I've washed this three times now and it looks like I just took it out of the package.
Perfect length in the torso and arms and fits like a dream. The material is thin enough to wear in the summer but also thick enough to drape nicely and actually hold it's shape.
I wish they had this in a couple different colours (I'd totally pick up another one in black or red if they offered them)

Light slouchy beanie
This hat is super stretchy! I thought it would be made out of a jersey like material, but it's more like a synthetic knit. It fits very close to your head, so it looks a bit weird with my short bob hair style, but it's so comfortable I'm going to rock it any ways. Nice and cozy and warm for the autumn
