Business genius and hedonist, Charles Schwab entered the steel industry as an unskilled laborer and within twenty years advanced to the presidency of Carnegie Steel. He later became the first president of U.S. Steel and then founder of Bethlehem Steel. His was one of the most spectacular and curious success stories in an era of great industrial giants.

How did Schwab progress from day laborer to titan of industry? Why did Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan select him to manage their multmillion-dollar enterprises? And how did he forfeit their confidence and lose the preseidency of U.S. Steel? Drawing upon previously undiscovered sources, Robert Hessen answers these questions in the first biography of Schwab.

Sleeves are too short
Size: Large, Color: Black
Good quality about as thick as heavy t shirt. The only issue is the sleeves are a tad short which is a bit disappointing. Not sure I will buy this again. I’m 5-7 175 and ordered a large and it fits well. Just a smidge oversized like I prefer.

Lightweight and comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Lightweight yet warm. Bought an XL for my husband who is 6’ 2”, weighs about 180 lbs, and has long arms. Fits a bit loose but not too big but have to size up so the length in the arms fit better. He runs warm so dislikes anything that makes him hot, so this material was great. Did not discolor or shrink in the wash, which was a bonus.

Hubby is quite happy with this hoodie
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
We live in warmer climes, so DH wanted a pullover hoodie that was more like t-shirt material. This is fantastic- it's like a well-made t-shirt - like a thicker, better quality tee. He loves it. The fit was just right. There was no fading in the wash - I always wash clothes in cold water though, so ymmv. He was happy with the color I chose. When cool weather rolls around again, I will add some other colors to his collection - perfect lightweight pullover for him.

Soft, good fit, but pretty light so not very warm.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
My immediate gripe with this Hoodie is it's very light. Not gonna do a lot to keep you warm, which is what I was looking for. That said, it fits will and is pretty soft. If it lasts through being washed several times it was worth the $13.60 I paid for it. I probably should have guessed at that price that it couldn't be very heavy. I've never really understood the idea of light hoodies.
