I like neutral colors and took a black one to China last summer for the plane and for climbing around the mountains. During spring, summer & fall I use it as an extra layering piece which supplies a significant amount of warmth for the light weight and easy stowability of the garment
I really wanted a white one and somehow found one online (although I've never seen them in catalogs.) I'm one of those old folks who had her colors done once, and cream or ivory just doesn't fit the bill for me.
I've purchased several of these in the past. I recently purchased two new ones and they won't stop pilling/shedding. I've washed them three times now and still the fluff gets all over my shirt, seat belt, car, etc. I will be returning them.
OMG, this is one fantastic fleece top. Perfect fit for my 1x frame, so soft and comfy. Tidal blue is amazing. Now I have to decide what other colors to get. I probably will get a couple for gifts too. Thanks for providing quality products.
