warm and soft

By catiecoo Ranked #4 - Women's Fleece Jackets December 22, 2010

I tried this on in the store just for kicks, and fell in love. This jacket reminds me of the Patagonia Synchilla snap-t's that I had long time ago, except these are much softer, and much warmer. I have since bought another one so that I don't have to go without if one is in the wash. You see, I'm into the whole "new wool" thing. Pretty much all insulation pieces I own are made of merino wool. While wool regulates body temp really well, they are not too warm on the occasions when lots of warmth really matters, such as sitting in the cool office all day, and working at home at night. No matter how many layers of merino sweater/long undies (within reason of course) I wear, I'm always cold. With this jacket, I only have to wear a s/s t-shirt underneath, and set the thermostat in the house to 67, I immediately warm up. Even my hands stay warm. They are also soooo soft on the inside. I've washed each of my 2 jackets twice, and they haven't shed, and hopefully won't for a long time. As for colors, the red and the green ones are gorgeous.
