Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "True to size 3x, I've washed it once and it hasn't pilled up like cheap fleece does."
  • "They fit perfectly, even on my thick waist."
  • "Soft, warm, and a beautiful color too! As nice as expensive name brands. I usually wear a medium, I ordered a medium, and it fits perfectly."
  • "This fleece top fit me perfectly."
  • "I’m 5’7” 208lbs and round. I bought a 2x and it fit perfect."
  • "The coat fit me liked I hoped it would, so I believe that the sizing is true to form."
  • "It fits perfectly."

Cons:

  • "I liked the jacket style very much. However, the jacket runs small even in plus size."
  • "This product runs very small. I couldn't even get the two sides of the jacket together to zip it was that small."
  • "I ordered a size up because I felt it looked tight and it was. I should have ordered 2 sizes up."
  • "The bottom of the jacket fit more like a skirt!"
  • "The sizing is more fitted than I was hoping for."
  • "I wear a medium in EVERYTHING and I sized up to a large in this and it’s still too small."
  • "I ordered a 2x because I wanted a loose fit. The 2x just fits. Not much extra room at all."

Material Quality

Pros:

  • "It seemed well made."
  • "These are so soft and warm without being super heavy."
  • "This zip fleece is so soft and cozy. I washed in cold water and hung to dry. Kept it's shape, no piling."
  • "The feel of the fleece fabric is a soft medium weight."
  • "The material is 100% polyester. I would say that it is medium weight."
  • "Material is soft and looks great."
  • "Lovely quality fleece and nice trim at bottom and wrists."

Cons:

  • "One of these jackets had a small area of 'meltage' where it seemed it was stuck against the heat output in the dryer drum."
  • "I kept it because it’s comfortable but cheaply made."
  • "Ok, but I guess you get what you pay for...not as nice as I had hoped."
  • "I just wish it wasn't polyester. Poly is not good for the skin or the environment."
  • "The stitching was very weak or incomplete altogether. The sleeves and pockets are coming undone."
  • "Fleece material is cheap, sticks to other clothes - sleeves are short not covering wrists - quality is poor do not buy amazon product."
  • "The jacket is soft and warm, but poor quality."

Design and Style

Pros:

  • "I love the grey buffalo plaid!"
  • "I just love this jacket. The print is what made me order it in the first place but it’s very comfortable."
  • "I love everything about this jacket but the color is a little more orange than I was expecting."
  • "I love how soft it is."
  • "I love the way it's cut and am sorely tempted to order multiple colors."
  • "This fleece is comfy and cozy, perfectly warm and soft, and fits just right."
  • "Beautiful material, very soft, warm and not a thick material."

Cons:

  • "The bottom of the jacket fit more like a skirt!"
  • "The bright royal blue color is just what I was hoping it would be."
  • "The color described as Burgundy Heather is really more like a rust color."
  • "Secondly the 'Coral Pink' will leave you looking like a traffic cone - it is wildly bright."
  • "The bottom flairing looked awkward on me."
  • "I ordered the 3x in the buffalo plaid and it fits and zips nicely, but I have a quite the caboose/big butt since sitting around so much with covid so it doesn't drape nicely over my caboose."
  • "Only thing is that it’s too short. I’m 5’11 and the sleeves and hem are too short."

Comfort and Warmth

Pros:

  • "I get warm very easily, and I bought this in the hopes of holding off wearing my heavy winter coat. This is perfect!"
  • "I love that it’s so soft."
  • "Super soft, lasts after washes, and fits looser than a lot of other brands, thankfully!"
  • "This jacket is very warm and comfy!"
  • "It's pretty warm as well."
  • "Overall, it is soft and comfy."
  • "So soft and warm. Great for cooler days."

Cons:

  • "I can't wear this item as the zipper broke in after wearing a few times."
  • "The jacket is nice and roomy. If you want a more form fitting jacket, buy one size bigger than you normally wear."
  • "This is great for cold weather but if you are moving a lot you will get hot and sweaty and if you are wearing short sleeves under it, it will stick to you like glue."
  • "However, it is very thin."
  • "The fleece is medium quality but good enough for now."
  • "It's not as soft as I had hoped."
  • "I was hoping it would be just a teensy bit softer."

Functionality

Pros:

  • "There are also very large pockets on the inside."
  • "Pockets are in a good place as well as nice and deep (no fear of cell phone popping out) but also has zips on pockets."
  • "I also love the zippered pockets."
  • "They have zippered pockets and I roll the sleeves up a bit and they stay in place due to the trim."
  • "In addition to the two zippered outside pockets, the jacket also has two inside ones (without a zipper) which will be perfect for my phone."
  • "Has zip pockets on both sides."
  • "The zippered pockets fit my phone."

Cons:

  • "I wish it didn’t attract lint so much."
  • "I wish the pocket pouches were stitched in. When jacket is unzipped, the pocket pouches kind of bunch and keep the jacket flopping open and its just awkward and not a good look."
  • "I wish there was a way to return defective merchandise."
  • "The only thing I really hate is it rides up in back."
  • "I'm not a fan of the way the sleeves are attached to the body at the armpit though."
  • "The color choices are very limited, and I wish Amazon would offer this product in more colors."
  • "Zippers on pockets a little stiff to slide and hope they ease up some for easy one hand use."
