Hanes has had a storied history among musicians, with the American brand’s underwear, socks, tank tops and T-shirts having graced the physiques of everyone from Tina Turner (in hosiery) to Shawn Mendes (in a white tank) over the years.

Stylist Karla Welch launched a collection of white Hanes tees in 2017 that were inspired by her famous client, Justin Bieber, while Kane Brown recently showed off a backstage wardrobe full of Hanes basics for his 2025 “The High Road” tour. This magazine has had a history with Hanes too, with The Go-Gos famously posing in white men’s Hanes underwear for their 1982 Rolling Stone cover.

There’s lots to love about Hanes, which was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1900 — meaning the brand just celebrated its 125th anniversary. While it got its start in underwear, undershirts, hosiery and innerwear (I.e. bras), Hanes also makes cozy T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies that have been bestsellers on their own, or formed the blanks for many popular fashion and pop culture collaborations. The pieces are great for layering too, or as a go-to for the gym, travel, walking the dog and errands around town.

I personally have a closet stocked with Hanes sweatshirts, thanks to their versatility, quality construction and just-right fit (I.e. neither too tight nor too baggy). The more you wash the sweatshirts, the softer they get too, and I love that “lived-in” look and feel. And at $20 or so apiece, Hanes sweatshirts are an easy and affordable pick up online.

But we spotted a new Amazon deal that lets you get your hands on a pair of Hanes sweatshirts right now for just $9. That’s right, the surprise sale gets you two sweatshirts for just $9.20 — breaking it down to less than $5 per piece.

LIMITED TIME DEAL

The key is to click on the two-pack offering, which gets you the two sweatshirts for $9. Already a steal at the regular price of $31, the surprise deal saves you a whopping 70% off.

According to the Amazon description, the Hanes pullover sweatshirt is made with cotton sourced from American farms, with a relaxed (but not overly loose) fit. The cotton blend material is soft and durable, with a cozy fleece interior for warmth. Double-needle stitching at the neck and armholes adds structure and durability.

The Amazon deal gets you two Hanes sweatshirts in black for just $9.20 total — that works out to be $4.60 apiece. This is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen for this top-rated sweatshirt, which boasts a reviewer rating of 4.5-stars out of five, from more than 129,000 verified purchases online. Shoppers are quickly snagging the deal, with Amazon reporting more than 9,000 units sold in the last few weeks alone. The Hanes sweatshirts are also number two on Amazon’s top clothing sales chart.

ALSO AVAILABLE

You can also snag the deal in this “light steel” colorway, which is like a light heather grey shade. Amazon has a two-pack of these Hanes sweatshirts on sale for just $11.48 — or under $6 each.

Both the black and “light steel” sweatshirts are part of Hanes’ “EcoSmart” collection, which features a lightweight fit and up to 5% polyester created from recycled plastic. Choose from sizes small to 5XL. Though Amazon markets these as men’s sweatshirts, they’re also great for women who want that boyfriend-style oversized fit.

EDITOR’S CHOICE

I personally stock up on these Hanes ComfortBlend sweatshirts (see original image at top of article), which have a thicker construction and slightly tighter neckline. You can get a two-pack of these grey sweatshirts on sale for just $13 total right now — which works out to be $6.50 apiece.

Hanes says the sweatshirt is crafted from a medium weight, 7.8 oz. fleece, and finished in a vintage-inspired garment-dyed wash.

The trick to scoring the deals above is to add the two-pack to cart, which will give you the discounted pricing. Prices were accurate at the time of this writing, but as with all Amazon deals, these ones could change at any time so we recommend adding to cart while the sale is still live.
