Is the Patagonia Natural Blend Retro Cardigan warm enough for winter?

It is a high-pile fleece, so it works well as a midlayer in cold weather. On its own it suits cool fall and spring days more than deep winter.

It is 80% recycled polyester and 20% recycled wool in a jacquard high-pile fleece, made in a Fair Trade Certified factory.

Does it have pockets?

Yes. It has two zippered handwarmer pockets and a zippered chest pocket.

It has a regular fit and hip length. The high-pile fleece adds bulk, so size up if you plan to layer it over a sweater.

No. It is a hoodless full-zip cardigan with a center-front zipper.

Is it worth buying over a plain fleece?

You pay for the jacquard pattern, the recycled wool blend and Fair Trade production. If you just want warmth, a plain polyester fleece costs less and feels softer.

About the Patagonia Natural Blend Retro Cardigan

The Patagonia Natural Blend Retro Cardigan is a hip-length, full-zip fleece cardigan in a jacquard high-pile knit made from 80% recycled polyester and 20% recycled wool. It has a retro pattern, Y-joint sleeves for arm mobility, and three zippered pockets: two handwarmers and a chest pocket. It is made in a Fair Trade Certified factory. Owners like the look and warmth but are split on fit and fabric feel, and several find it costly next to plainer fleece jackets.
