Thin fleece, but lovely, soft and comfortable too.
PostedJanuary 22, 2015
I have a hard time differentiating among the different fleece types. This one is definitely very thin, and not exactly designed to keep out the cold of a New England winter. But, it is extremely soft, the color is lovely, and the fit is comfortably loose. Although I was hoping for a thicker jacket to replace a fleece I've had for many years, this will useful for layering and also good in the warmer weather. It is a keeper for me.
My wife owns several jackets and 3/4 zip fitness fleece shirts. She wears the jackets almost every day. They are thin, but warm and great to wear alone or under jackets when you need some warmth, but it is not bulky. The black one is very practical for everything. The fit is perfect (med. for a size 12) The zip ones pill a little, but the jackets don't pill. This is a great jacket to wear all year and for traveling since it does not take a lot of room in the suitcase.
Over the years, I have bought five of these lightweight fleece jackets. The colors are great and because they are so light, cozy and comfortable, I wear them in the house as well as when going out. To dress them up, I wear a matching scarf and am ready for most informal occasions. They are durable, if you wash them in cold water and keep them out of the drier. Well worth the money.
