Is the Heritage Sherpa Shirt Jacket warm enough on its own?

It works as a warm mid-layer or a light outer layer on mild cool days. In wind, rain or deep cold, wear it under a shell or a heavier coat.

Eddie Bauer lists the fit as loose. That leaves room for a sweater underneath, but the body runs roomy, so those who want a trimmer look may prefer a size down.

The shell is polyester sherpa. That gives a soft, fleecy hand and warmth, but it is not a weatherproof fabric.

Does it have pockets?

It has a chest pocket. Treat it as a small essentials pocket rather than storage for bulky items.

How should I care for the sherpa?

Follow the care label. Synthetic sherpa generally washes cold and air-dries best; high heat can mat the pile.

Is it a jacket or a shirt?

It is a shirt jacket: a collared, button-front layer cut like an overshirt but made of warm sherpa. It sits between a flannel shirt and a fleece jacket.
