Warm and comfy, but not durable

By sad2441842 Ranked #2795 - Women's Fleece Jackets September 26, 2008

I thought this was a really nice jacket at first. It is very warm, soft and fleecy on the inside but with a smooth outer surface that looks dressier than your average fleece. Could stand in for a cardigan with nice pants, for example. The problem is that the nice outer surface is pretty fragile. The jacket is beginning to pill all over after just a couple of weeks, and the surface does not hold up well to even slight abrasion. I carried a shoulder tote one day that must have had a rough seam or something, because now there is a big roughed up patch on the back of the jacket that is very visible. I've carried this tote before and it did not damage any of my other jackets. This jacket will not hold up well to rough use, or at least will not look nice afterwards, which was its appeal for me.
