It is beautiful on its own. I got the medium size for I am a 5'11 and a medium built. It fit as expected and the design on the hoodie itself is amazing. I have gotten complements on the design of the hoodie itself. I am very satisfied with the purchase and you don't have to worry about the "design" flaking off or getting erased so to speak. The quality is top notch and after several washes, it stayed the same.
