Buying guide

Weight

Fleece is often measured in gsm. 200 to 300 gsm is a good everyday weight; heavier fleece is warmer.

Anti-pill

Anti-pill finishes keep fleece looking smart.

Full-zip or quarter-zip

Full-zip is easy to vent; quarter-zip is a neat pullover layer.

Layering

Fleece lets wind through, so wear a softshell or rain jacket over it outside.

Frequently asked questions

Is fleece warmer than a softshell?

Fleece is warm and breathable but lets wind through. Softshells block wind. Many people wear both.

How heavy should a work fleece be?

About 280 to 300 gsm is a warm everyday weight. Micro-fleece is lighter for layering.

Does fleece embroider well?

Yes, it is one of the best fabrics for embroidery.

Plain items usually arrive in 2–4 working days to Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Branded items take 7–10 working days. Every order also comes with 28-Day Returns.
