Patagonia Retro Pile Jacket

To keep sudden wilderness chills from cutting through your outer layers, the Patagonia Retro Pile Jacket in Basin Green relies on a thick double sided shearling fleece made from 100 percent recycled polyester. This warm zip through jacket acts as a heavy insulating buffer that retains core body heat while allowing excess moisture vapor to vent during active hiking. Designed with flat seam stitching, a high stand collar, and elasticated edge trim, it prevents chafing under pack straps and delivers soft, reliable skin comfort on cool trail journeys.

Key Features

• Heavyweight double sided shearling fleece offers high thermal retention and a plush hand feel.
• 100 percent recycled polyester construction supports sustainable garment manufacturing.
• Flat seam construction lies flat against the body to minimize irritation and fabric bulk.
• Full length center front zipper extends into a tall stand collar for complete neck coverage.
• Mesh lined chest pocket and two zip hand pockets provide breathable, secure storage.
• Elastane trim along the collar, cuffs, and waist hem locks in body heat and maintains shape.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Autumn trail walking, mountain camping, and chilly coastal excursions.
• Layering underneath a windproof hardshell jacket or over a lightweight cotton t shirt.
• Outdoor enthusiasts looking for high loft fleece insulation made with recycled materials.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Official sizing from the brand recommends a standard regular fit designed to sit close enough to retain heat while leaving space for a base layer.
• Patagonia advises opting for your standard size for a classic fit, or sizing up if you prefer a looser profile through the shoulders.
• Offset shoulder seams align naturally over the collarbones to prevent friction when carrying a heavy rucksack.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.
• Close all pocket and front zippers prior to washing to protect the shearling pile.
• Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry naturally away from direct sun to preserve fleece loft.
• Do not use liquid fabric softeners, bleach, or dry cleaning.
