Patterned Vintage Fleece Jacket | Jacquard Geometric Band, 5 Shades
Patterned Vintage Fleece
Everyone else's winter jacket
is a grey zip fleece.
This one carries a geometric band across the chest and upper sleeves — made of coloured yarn, not printed on — in five shades you will not find on a rack in a mall.
Plush fleece body. Stand collar. Full zip. Two hand pockets deep enough for a phone. XS to 3XL.

Why fleece got boring
Somewhere along the way,
winter got a uniform.
Walk into any cafe between November and February and count the grey zip fleeces. The fabric was never the problem — light, warm, packable, machine washable, genuinely good. The problem is that every brand decided the safest thing to sell was a solid colour with a small chest logo.
A patterned fleece fixes that in one move. The jacket becomes the outfit. Jeans, boots, done.
The part that matters
Knit from coloured yarn.
Not printed on top.
Most patterned fleece at this price is digitally printed — an image sprayed onto the surface of the cloth. It looks sharp in the product photo, flat in daylight, and after a dozen washes it starts to crack along the fold lines and fade where it rubs against a bag strap.
The band on this jacket is a jacquard knit. Deep red, navy, olive and cream yarns are worked into the cloth itself, which is why the pattern has visible texture when you get close and still reads from across a room. There is no ink layer to crack, and nothing to peel at the seam.
The four yarns in the band.
Where it sits
One band.
Chest and sleeves. Nothing else.
The pattern runs in a single horizontal band across the chest and wraps the upper sleeves. Above and below it, the body is solid — which is exactly why the jacket reads as designed rather than loud.
A fully patterned fleece competes with everything you own. This one sits on top of denim, chinos or a plain white tee and lets them be.

Construction
Five details that
decide whether you wear it.
Fit
Cut relaxed.
Measured honestly.
This is a relaxed cut, not a slim one. Every number below is the garment itself, measured flat and doubled — not your body. The fastest way to get it right is to lay a fleece you already like on the bed, measure straight across the chest, and double it.
| Size | Chest | Length | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 41.34 | 25.98 | 27.95 |
| S | 43.31 | 26.77 | 28.74 |
| M | 45.28 | 27.56 | 29.53 |
| L | 47.24 | 28.35 | 30.31 |
| XL | 49.21 | 29.13 | 31.10 |
| 2XL | 51.18 | 29.92 | 31.89 |
| 3XL | 53.15 | 30.71 | 32.28 |
All measurements in inches.
Five vintage shades
Black. Brown. Apricot.
Khaki. Blue.
Each shade has its own band — the yarns change with the body colour, so no two colourways look like a recolour of the same file.
How to wear it
Three layers.
One jacket.
