Key Features

• Made from 100% recycled Polartec® polyester, double-sided solid shearling fleece for easy-wearing warmth.

• Mesh-lined chest pocket and two hand-warmer pockets, all with zips and webbing pulls for secure storage. 
• Elastic trim at cuffs, hem and collar for a snug fit that keeps out drafts. 
• Flat seams reduce bulk and minimise irritation or chafe under layers. 
• Fair Trade Certified™ sewn, ensuring workers involved in making this jacket earn a premium for their work. 

We Recommend / Ideal For

• Chilly outdoor activities: hiking, camping or walking when you want warmth without over-packing.
• Layering under a shell in cold, windy conditions.
• Everyday wear in autumn or winter weather, commuting or casual weekends.
• Outdoor work or travel where comfort, warmth and durability matter.

Style, Fit & Sizing

• Regular fit: not tight, allows for layering underneath. 
• Hip-length cut gives coverage without restricting movement.
• Raglan sleeves offer a full range of motion at the shoulders, especially useful with backpack straps or when raising arms. 

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash warm (follow garment label temperature guidelines). 
• Do not bleach. 
• Tumble dry low to restore loft without damaging fibres. 
• Do not iron: high-heat can damage fleece texture and performance. 

Patagonia Men’s Retro Pile Fleece Jacket – Our FAQs

1. How warm is this jacket compared to a shell or a puffer?
   It offers excellent insulation for a fleece; great alone in dry, cool weather or layered under a waterproof shell in more severe conditions.

2. Is it windproof?
   The fleece is breathable rather than windproof; it blocks mild winds, but in strong wind you’ll want an outer layer.

3. Does it shrink or lose fleece pile after washing?
   If you follow the care instructions, the fleece retains its shape and warmth. Avoid high heat in wash or dry cycles.

4. What size should I choose if I layer underneath?
   Pick your usual size for casual wear; if you plan thick layering, consider going up one size for additional comfort.

5. Is this jacket ethically made?
   Yes. It is made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, using materials that are bluesign approved and 100 % recycled polyester.
