It's heavier than my better Sweater due to the pile. Depends on my layering. I've lost a lot of weighjt and run colder than I used to, so like it a lot.
This one is warmer than my other 2.
Had small holes where the end of the sleeve tucks into the finishing and Patagonia got it taken care of.
Nice jacket, comfortable and warm, fit snug in the shoulders. I ended up returning the item due to the zippers on the pockets not zipping up completely, seems to be common issue on these jackets
PERFECT INSIDE MY BARNCOAT FOR EXTRA WARMTH AND A GREAT ZIP UP FOR SLIGHTLY CHILLY DAYS WITH OUT THE BARNCOAT! GREAT QUALITY CONSTRUCTION, JUST LIKE THE PULL OVERS I AM STILL WEARING FROM THE 70'S AND 80'S.
I am a female but I happened to see this retro pile fleece in the mens department and immediately was drawn to the look. Now that I own one Im pleased to say its warm, cozy and the pink and bright blue detailing on the sleeves and zipper are fabulous,
A very nice jacket, works perfect with an outer shell and keeps the warmth great. I've used it almost everyday since I got it and have gotten plenty of compliments and comments. Medium fit a bit snug so size up eventually
I have just begun wearing the coat so not much information about it. However I purchased a coat like this one in 1996 and I still wear it. The best coat I have ever bought.
I loved this fleece, but it was too short so I returned it. I would definitely recommend to my less-lanky friends. That said, not sure what happened with Patagonia sizing, but Small used to fit just right and I'm definitely not getting taller as I get older.
I rate this product 37 out of 5 starts. So flippin' soft and cozy. And recycled, to boot! My first Patagoinia fleece lasted me 18 years, and this seems just as good.
Hi Noah, thank you for submitting this review. We're sorry neither of these sizes worked out, but happy to see you're returned them. Please let us know if we can help you find an alternative or provide specific measurements so you can feel confident about finding the right fit.

I enjoy this jacket for
I enjoy this jacket for its coziness, wind protection and warmth. I wear it everywhere in all situations. I am a member of the local ski patrol and our uniforms need to be black and red. It fits well under my red patrol vest.
I've been wearing an earlier version of similar design made of recycled synchilla for the past year or two and have been happy and comfortable in my nighttime four-mile walks. This current model seems warmer, at least in its first few months, than my older one. But, to me and my some-times chilled fingers, I am delighted this new one has large... Read Morer gauge zipper, less of a chore to zip up in that dark night chill- makes a huge improvement over the smaller plastic zips on the last one (and several other Patagonia coats and vests I use). Bravo!
And still made of 100% recycled fabric.
I definitely recommend this jacket to anyone. Its very comfortable and good quality. You could wear this jacket for any occasion and you would look good with it. I decided to order another one !!
I'm a medium-smallish woman (5'5", wear a woman's m or 6) and I got a size Small. It's so small, I could barely zip it over a tee shirt. In this photo a 6'1" man is wearing a M that looks loose - which is straight up unbelievable. Looks like a great jacket otherwise, I'm sad they've sold out of my prefer... Read Morered color and I have to return this.
Looks great. Versatile piece. Not for athletic builds, runs small.
Great hand feel and looks great. Tried both a medium and large and both ran small through the arms and shoulders, unexpected with the raglan sleeves. I would classify this one a slim fitting. More of a women's fit.

Fleece color deceiving
The black fleece this season, and this spans across all the high pile Patagonia pieces all have a deep navy undertone. Not true black. When I returned this piece to my local Patagonia store and explained. They themselves echoed this feedback and have also had numerous online returns with the same reasoning.
Thank you for this feedback, John. We're sorry that color wasn't what you were hoping for, but glad to hear you were able to return it at the store. Please let us know if we can be of any further help here!

Absolutely perfect
Patagonia style- as perfect as ever, as Ive experienced over the past 20 years
Do you like to stay warm, help the environment and ensure fair wages for the humans who make your clothes? Are you fashionable while also loving the nature? Are you a Space Cowboy? Then this Jacket is for you!
Overall is not impressed me for my very first owned Patagonia fleece. People review it snug and small but still big for my asian size. Quality nowhere near my gf Patag fleece felt or felt any special compare to my current cheaper cloth brands. Ship back for return.
Warm and cozy, feels sturdy and as pictured. The mens' version is slightly darker than the women's one.
The fit is slightly odd, it sits too tight around the shoulders so it restricts your movement considerably. Could be a bit longer down the waist, but that's purely preference.
As all fleeces, it tends to shed a bit, hopefully tha... Read Moret will go away after a few washes.
I love this coat. Super warm and comfortable however, there is one major issue. It sheds. Sheds and sheds and sheds. I have washed it 4 times so far and it still sheds. I have other Sherpa coats that never shed. I think they need new material.
Hi Rick, we're bummed to hear that you're experiencing a shedding issue with your fleece. If you find this too bothersome, please feel free to begin a [return or or free exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time.

My 14 year old son
My 14 year old son loves his jacket. He said it is very warm. Jacket is very well made. True fit to size.
I got this as a gift for my sister and she really enjoyed the oversize feel of it. The arms are long but obviously so since it is a mens XL and she is on the shorter side.
i also initially had an issue of a lost package and patagonia sent over a new one right away. I offered to provide proof of theft in my building but the customer rep literally ... Read Moresaid "I trust you friend" which was refreshing and new! living in a big building in a big city package theft is common and usually retailers are way less gracious about it.
I used the jacket as under- layer under my ski jacket very warm ,but cannot be used as a wind breaker.
inside the house perfectly warm. excellent quality ,a bit pricey
A warm, comfortable and cozy jacket. It does need something over it if it's windy and cold, because the wind does get through, but is perfect for everyday wear! An awesome layer!
I got this for my son as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loves it!! Its very light, but warm and stylish. My son is 19 years old, 6 feet 2 inches and I got him a size L. The off white and green color combination is perfect!!
Absolutely warm, great texture, great color, great seams and zippers, but ... a smidge short. If you're 6' tall or more, you might find the torso length to be a bit short. Ditto on the sleeves. I otherwise love this jacket. Can you design this in a tall size @Patagonia? If so, count me in for two!
Was very excited for this jacket when I ordered it but was sorely disappointed when I received it and tried it on. First off, the material is much thinner than I expected so its not that warm. Worst part was the cutting of the shoulder area. As soon as I put it on, it felt like the shoulders were pulled in and it left this weird gap between the sho... Read Moreulders and the neck. Very uncomfortable. Immediately took the jacket off and sent it back for a refund.

Excellent
Modern take on a retro classic. Very well made and very warm. I was worried that it might be rather “bulky” and loose like the original versions of this type of fleece, but it fits really well and true to size.
This makes the perfect layer for cold days. I bought it a bit larger than I needed--thinking I would need more layers--but this is hardly the case. I've had to remove my layers on most occasions because this is so warm! It is my new favorite article about clothing. Thank you! It is comfy and warm, and stylish!
I really dig the retro look on this jacket. The jacket is very warm and the colors are spectacular. Sadly its not going to survive very long with the way its shedding the wooly fabric. Its everywhere, in my car, on my sofa.
Hi Venkata, thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear your jacket is shedding excessively! Many customers find their fleece sheds less over time.

Poor fit
I originally ordered a medium and it was way too small ! I normally wear a medium in all tops . I have a medium jacket I bought from yall 6-8 years ago and it fits perfect . I exchanged this product for a large , and it was 2 times too big ! Since I have sent that item back in exchange for another medium. Still waiting on the third item
We're very sorry to hear about the sizing issues on this regular fit jacket. The Retro Pile fabric has almost no stretch, so you may prefer one of our other fleece jackets in a slim or relaxed fit, in addition to one that has an element of stretch in the material. We will reach out to you privately to offer more assistance.
December 17, 2022
Fabulous
My new fave top. Warm, well made, delivered quickly!
The sleeves are not lined with anything, so the fleece gets stuck on whatever shirt you're wearing under. Bit annoying as its a fleece jacket that goes on top of a shirt.
Hi Christian, thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear these sleeves are causing you frustration! We're reaching out to you on email to help you return it, if you wish.

Comfy
This is a cozy fleece zip up jacket and nicely detailed. Hi quality like all Patagonia products.
I wear it all the time but different occasions, work, going out, or just chilling at my house. Very stylish that can go with a lot of different combinations
I absolutely love this jacket! I chose the mens version as I loved the combo of the cream fleece with the blue and red trim detail- and I prefer that the mens doesnt have a curved notch at the base of the jacket on each side of the center-front zipper. I usually wear a size 8/medium in womens and the mens size small was perfect! The only odd thing ... Read Moreis the neck construction- there is a VERY steep vertical angle from shoulder up to neck seam- basically, the only way one could fill up the space is if they had massive trapezoids! Im taking it to a tailor to get the fit adjusted, as everything else about it is perfect. So warm and delightful!
My first Patagonia purchase, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect.
I’m really happy with the quality and design, but most importantly I’m impressed with how warm I almost instantly feel, and maintain, when I put this on.
Very happy, considering what my next purchase could be
It is a great product but does tend to shed a little at the beginning. When sitting in my computer chair I noticed a lot of fuzzies came off of the back of it.
Was at first a bit in doubt. Never buy Patagonia since its actually out of my budget. But it is living up to its price. Fit is good, soft and really warm. According to my girlfriend I have to stop wearing it every day. Not sure if I agree...
My old fleece jacket is by far a better quality jacket. The new one is very thin in the fleece department. I would rather pay more and get a better quality thicker fleece than what I just bought! I am pretty disappointed in Patagonia.
Hello Robert, thank you for your review. We're so sorry to hear of your disappointment! We see that there was a redesign in Fall 2019 when we went from 11.5-oz 100% polyester double-sided solid shearling to a 8.7-oz Polartec 100% recycled polyester double-sided solid shearling. The intention behind this redesign was to make a softer material with more stretch. If you are unhappy with this change, all items are covered by our Ironclad Guarantee, so feel free to begin a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
The best jacket I have put on! From the first fitting I was wowed. The quality is second to none, the attention to details, but most importantly the length of the sleeves were perfect!! (other brands always have very long sleeves). Love it!!
Needed a jacket which was warm and not too bulky and I found just that.
Good fit, seems like good quality.
Time will tell.
So far very pleased overall.
I'm about 5'10" 195 lbs and large fits great. It's pretty warm but need an extra long sleeve layer if the temp gets down into the 40s. Quality is good as well. But my one issue is the collar which constantly falls in on itself. It should be stiffer so it stays up.

Great fleece jacket, feels so
Great fleece jacket, feels so soft inside and warms so good from cold temps
If you live somewhere cold, this jacket is a no-brainer. Probably a bit pricey but you get to wear it for many years. And you will end up wearing it a lot.
This jacket looks great and reminds me of my ski bum days in the early 90's. However, when I wear it in Seattle in a breeze, it is cold. The wind comes right in. I can't wear it alone over a t-shirt when temps are in the 40's. And in the 50's, if it is windy, it isn't warm either. I really want to wear this with just a t-sh...

Great detail work
Nice fit, I am 6' 2" 170lbs and this slim fit is perfect. I bought a medium. Nice and warm not to bulky. Getting lots of compliments! great colors.
I have owned this jacket for over year and half now and the quality of the item is superb theres nothing I can fault - I would normally use this between Autumn and Spring which ideal weight.
I received this jacket as a gift. It looks terrible after wearing a few times. The amount of pilling on this jacket is ridiculous and makes the jacket appear incredibly dirty. I would not recommend this jacket to anybody.
We're sorry to hear about the fabric issue on your jacket! While all knit fabrics are subject to pilling, we have some [product care](https://www.patagonia.com/product-care.html) tips that can help. We'll reach out to you by email to discuss your options to return it. Thanks for your review, Lexi!

Very nice
This fleece is very nicely made, comfortable, and warm. The color is beautiful and is accurately shown on the site. I would say that it runs a little small, as I'm 5'6", 150 LBS, and I ended up having to scramble and get a Medium. I have broad shoulders and chest, so the Small wasn't quite right in that area. But in general I&#x... Read More27;m very happy with it and would recommend it. I've only recently started buying Patagonia clothes and I'm honestly pretty impressed.
Hi Cody, thank you for submitting this review. A certain amount of shedding is normal with these fibers, but it sounds like this one is doing it excessively. We're sorry your jacket isn't working for you! We have reached out to you on email about return options.
This jacket is very nice and warm. I would have rated 5 stars but the color was much darker online than in person. A little too medium lighter green. Was hoping for the photo of a darker green.
I wanted to love this jacket, and I loved the martial on the outside. The reason I returned it was because of the mesh material in the inside of the jacket. The material is used for the pockets and it is very itchy/scratchy. I wish it was made of cotton or modal. I would have kept it if the material was softer on the inside.
Hey Anthony, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that it didn't work out with this jacket, and we appreciate your observations. We'll make sure to pass along the word about the interior material used.

Great stuff with few downsides.
I liked this fleece a lot. Feels so soft & warm, that you don't want to take it off, haha. And when I say warm, I mean it. Wear it together with a Thermo basic layer and a 3L shell jacket and you are waterproof, windproof, warm, and stylish.
But, there are a few downsides:
1) Collar fits odd, probably because of the raglan sleeve constr... Read Moreuction.
2) Materials peel a bit. I noticed that when were sitting in the car using the safety belt. After a while, the safety belt was covered in blue particles.

Hi James, thank you for submitting this review. In general it's best for your clothing to not wash it too frequently, and when you do, we recommend machine washing this jacket on Warm with a mild detergent, no bleach, and tumble dry on Low. Please reach out to us if we can be of any help at all!

Warm & comfy
Wore it spring fishing on the Bitterroot as an outer garment. Kept me warm throughout the day, when wind picked up, put my rain jacket over it. All I needed. Would recommend this jacket to anyone.
This might be the perfect fleece jacket. It is more comfortable than the better sweater and a little more breathable. It is cut perfect and has sturdy zippers. The 3xl runs true to size.

Cool sweater
Very warm
Shoulders and neck are a little strange on the fit
I liked everything, but the fit in the arm pits. Way too snug for comfort. I have other Patagonia XL jackets and vests that fit well. This jacket is definitely cut differently. My wife is 4 inches shorter than me and it fit her, so she took it.

Sheds everywhere
This fleece jacket is very comfortable. However, I cannot recommend it. The fleece sheds everywhere when wearing it and that is very frustrating. Not the quality I expect from Patagonia.
I ordered the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket, I'm happy with it,it's warm,comfortable and it's a sharp looking jacket. It reminds me of a Patagonia Fleece jacket that I had years back but I think this one is even better.
I've been a Patagonia customer and fan for several decades! yep and I have never been disappointed,

My jacket shipped fast too which was a plus.
If you order this jacket I think you'll be very happy with it.
Purchased to be a grab and go casual jacket for cold mornings. I love the feel of the fleece - its like wearing my favorite blanket. Very comfortable! I look forward to years of use as the jacket becomes an old favorite.
Two of the other Patagonia fleeces that I have had for well over 12 years both had the zipper fail in the few last months. Needed a new one and this be it! Only brand to buy for me!
I'm seeing some recent reviews complaining about sizing and/or lack of warmth. Having bought at least a dozen fleeces from Patagonia, here's how I think the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket stacks up: it fits about the same as the Better Sweater, is obviously softer, and I'll guestimate is about 25% warmer. I got it in black before it sold o... Read Moreut and like it enough that I may get it in another color. The negative reviews I'm seeing seem to be more of a matter of people ordering the wrong size for their body type.
I bought this sweater for my husband for Christmas who loves Patagonia. He needed a neutral colored sweater for everyday wear and its so soft on the inside, definitely worth the price.
I am writing this review on behalf of my husband who is 6'2", around 195 lbs., and purchased an XL. It's probably a 1/5 stars on him, but it's a fantastic 4/5 on me. I am 5'4", 126 lbs and in my 2nd trimester. It's a perfect oversized fleece on me that covers my butt and the shoulders weirdly fit. It has a very fe... Read Moreminine fit on my husband, is INCREDIBLY short, and very tight around shoulder area. I do not recommend this for any males who are above 6 feet tall and especially if you have a long torso. I don't think sizing up will do much help, I would simply just pass on this fleece. Within 2 days of wear, we unfortunately encountered 2 almost identical holes (1 on each side of the sleeve opening), and initially thought they were "thumb holes" but instead saw that it was poorly missed in the threading. Please avoid unless you also plan to hand it down to your smaller-sized partner.
I'm 5'9" and the medium is a perfect fit for me. The fleece is light, but very warm. Great for sitting in front of a PC when no amount of heating seems to keep you warm.
Bought to keep me warm whilst walking outside and at home in the back room that always seems to be freezing!
This fits me pretty perfectly - but I wouldn’t want the sleeves to be any shorter - I’m slim and athlete but have broad shoulders which eats up the length. The fit is fairly fitted with room for a sweatshirt/sweater or two thin layers.
