I can’t believe winter it’s almost here! I remember when I had to shop for summer clothes and now I have to prepare for winter shopping.

Fleece Jackets are popular outerwear during the fall and winter across the country. Perfect as a light jacket during the cool fall weather and the perfect layer atop a wool sweater during the winter. The polyester velour fabric is lightweight and constructed to retain heat, maximizing the wearer’s warmth and comfort. Fleece jackets and pullovers remain breathable while it retains heat. Aside from its unique construction and versatile use, fleece products are ideal for winter outerwear for their ease of washing and maintenance. Some of the most common products made from fleece include blankets and jackets. One example is the popular patagonia fleece jacket. This jacket fits perfectly for the cold weather and is versatile. It can be used for a wide range of temperatures. Many fleece jacket makers have started to make fleece jackets from recycled polyester and fleece. Others incorporate other post-consumer recycled fibers (even old plastic water bottles) into their product. Companies such as Patagonia have programs in place.

Here are some tips on the different types of fleece:

• Lightweight fleeces: also known as microfleeces since they are made of lighter fabrics. This type of fleece is perfect for scarves, shirts, leggings, lightweight jackets, and housecoats.

• 100-weight fleeces: are fuzzy since they are slightly heavier than lightweight fleeces. 100-weight fleeces are fuzzy on either sides or one side. This fabric is perfect for lightweight gear for your feet, hands, and heads.

• Medium-weight fleeces: this type of fabric is one of the most common and versatile on the market. Some of the fleece products include vests, jackets, blankets, mittens, hats and more.
