Ms Retro Pile Jacket

4.5/5
Kinda Large
February 27, 2023

Medium warm.

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.

February 21, 2023

Really good looking, wanted to love it

But the raglan sleeves make the shoulders and chest tight.

February 15, 2023

Good jacket except zippers malfunctioned

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

February 10, 2023

BARNCOAT LINER

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.

February 9, 2023

Pleasantly surprised

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,

February 9, 2023

Perfect confort

Very soft and comfort. I usually use size M, and bought this one small and fit exact to me. I love the combination colors I chose.

February 9, 2023

Great jacket

Perfect jacket for winters here in Cali!!!

February 8, 2023

Super Warm

Its worth the price you pay. This jacket is lined, looks and feels great.

February 8, 2023

Warm and lightweight

The sweater is truly comfortable and warm. Amazing customer service and would definitely recommend to a friend. Will be purchasing more from them

February 7, 2023

A great mid-layer and lighter jacket.

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

February 7, 2023

Again, again and again

It's my third, need I say more

February 5, 2023

Very warm and comfy

Fits great and very warm and comfortable. Love the colors

February 3, 2023

New favorite

I bought this as a present for my boyfriend. He has not been wearing anything else since he got it, definitely his new favorite jacket!

February 3, 2023

I have just begun wearing

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.

February 1, 2023

Super cool (as in hot) but super short

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.

January 30, 2023

Very comfortable, wears well

Very comfortable

January 30, 2023

37 Stars!

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.

January 29, 2023

Bad sizing

The small was too small and this medium was too big. Didn't work out.

Response from Patagonia
January 31, 2023

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 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.

January 24, 2023

Warm and improved

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.

January 23, 2023

WARM

I bought this jacket for my brother. He loves this jacket.

January 21, 2023

Good looking and warm

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 !!

January 19, 2023

Comically Small

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.

January 19, 2023

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.

OMG ! This was a gift for my 79 year old sweetheart & he loves it! The deep true navy compliments his "Elvis" long white hair. What sold me on ordering was all the zippers and of course your great sale prices. Thank you

January 16, 2023

Insanely comfortable

I would easily recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a casual everyday outer layer thats also perfect for day hiking.

January 16, 2023

Great look

I think its overpriced for what it is nice looking, but for cost I think it should possibly have lining & elastic on sleeves.

January 14, 2023

Not the best Patagonia quality

Have worn this jacket a handful of times. Looks great but the fleece is so thin and has already matted in spots also sheds everywhere. Not really warm or windproof on its own. Bought the jacket because of Patagonias commitment to the environment but the quality is so cheap on this jacket I don't think it will last long let alone the rest of th...

Hi Kevin! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disapointment with the fleece. Feedback like this is crucial to improving products for future seasons. If you're looking for a similar fleece that is heavier and windproof we'd suggest our [Men's Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-classic-retro-x-fleece-jacket/23056.html?dwvar_23056_color=NAT&cgid=root).

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.

Response from Patagonia
January 25, 2023

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!

First time upgrade to Patagonia

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.

Comfortable with great looking

Colors of the zipper made good contrast to the clothes thus it made the person who wears it still in low profile but also bright in the other way.

Nice fleece jacket, but with a weird cut

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.

Warm Fleece for Stylish Dads

Bought this coat in the natural color for my dad. He loves it!

December 31, 2022

Great coat with one major exception

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.

December 30, 2022

Very warm and cozy

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.

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!

December 27, 2022

Stylish and warm

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!!

December 26, 2022

It's everything I would expect from Patagonia. I enjoy it so much I ordered one like it for my wife.

December 25, 2022

Perfect except ...

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!

December 23, 2022

Terrible cutting

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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and we are very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with this product. Please rest assured that we will be passing along your feedback to our Product Designers so they are aware of these issues and can take a deeper look into the product.

December 21, 2022

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.

December 21, 2022

Great looking jacket for a casual cool night out. Very complimentary with many outfit options

Great jacket to wear on a cool night or a chilly evening or day. Not ideal for very cold or windy days.

December 20, 2022

Nice and snuggly!

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!

December 19, 2022

Great product

Good fit (not to tight with long sleeves), very cosy and warm. Do think the price is a bit high but that is the price for being responsible.

December 19, 2022

Very warm and stylish but material sheds

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.

Response from Patagonia
December 23, 2022

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

Response from Patagonia
December 22, 2022

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!

December 16, 2022

Annoying to put on - sleeves are not lined

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.

Response from Patagonia
December 21, 2022

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.

Great easy to use website. Arrived promptly and very good quality.

December 11, 2022

Super cozy!

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!

December 11, 2022

Better than I expected

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

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.

exactly what I needed

November 14, 2022

Nice but...

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.

not very warm

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...

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.

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.

Nice Fir

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.

Bought for an anniversary gift for my husband. Its really comfortable and warm for those fall days

It was ok

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.

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. Anyways, I would recommend it!

Fast dry

Good, warm, dries fast after rain. Cleaning is a little touchy. May not last if you was often.

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!

Great fit

The 3xl was true to size compared to other 3xl jackets I have. The fleece was just the right thickness. Very well made. The stitching was excellent and I highly recommend this jacket.

After-surf warmth

Ive been wearing Patagonia since 1980. The clothing is true to fit and has outstanding longevity (I still wear items I got in 1990!) Beyond the clothing being fantastic the fact the company is dedicated to preserving the planet makes it that much better.

Fantastic Fleece

This jacket is the best by far! The material it is made from is a nice texture! The color is very vibrant! I love my Patagonia jacket I am obsessed and happy I purchased it and at a great price!!

It is as described in the site. Cosy and comfortable.

Love this jacket have two of them. Want the navy blue when you get the bigger sizes back in stock. Love the material. Wasn't familiar with Patagonia.

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.

April 30, 2022

The perfect fleece

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.

I returned the product. Disappointed about material.

Unfortunately very bad quality.

Too Snug in Armpits

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.

Just Right

Just the right weight for a jacket. It is very warm and good for wearing with layers . I can dress it up or wear casually.

March 23, 2022

Very cozy and warm

Runs a tad small. But fits me perfectly and is really warm. Got it towards the end of winter, but used it a few times and have totally enjoyed it.

March 12, 2022

bad fit

this jacket was cut very tight in size large. It cut right up into my armpits. All of my other large patagonias [15] fit perfectly. This was the last one in stock. Makes me wonder.

Very Comfortable

Great fleece that doesn't need much to compliment it. Good for hiking. Chest pocket fits cell phone or other small items comfortably.

Poor quality fabric

This is my first Patagonia product. I was surprised by the quality; after everything I've heard, I was expecting much better. The fabric is flimsy, so thin as to be almost see-through. Also, the neck opening is very large and the collar is very high - unflattering, and I know it won't keep me as warm as I would like. It's going right... Read More back.

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.

GREAT JACKET

I ordered the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket, I'm happy with it,it's warm,comfortable and it's a sharp looking jacket.

Comfy Jacket

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.

Excellent both for getting out in the cold city and for staying at home

Love it

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!

A warmer, fluffier version of the Better Sweater

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.

Don't Recommend-Please Avoid

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.

December 25, 2021

Very warm fleece

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.

Stylish, warm - love it!

Bought to keep me warm whilst walking outside and at home in the back room that always seems to be freezing!

The fit is fairly fitted with room for a sweatshirt/sweater or two thin layers. I l...

My go to jacket every day

Surprisingly warm for the thickness as long as it’s not windy. Super comfortable and soft. Like the mesh inner liner which makes it super comfy even with a T-shirt. True to size. Looks stylish.
