How does the Femke fit compared with a regular cardigan?

It is cut longline, falling below the hip, with a roomy body to layer over tops. The chest measurements run from 40.2 inches at size S up to 48.9 inches at 2XL, so check your own chest against the chart before choosing.

Is it warm enough to wear as a jacket?

The teddy fleece and hood make it a warm mid-layer, warmer than a knit cardigan. It is not windproof or waterproof, so in rain or strong wind you still want a shell over it.

Yes. The button front lets you close it against the cold or leave it open as a draped layer over leggings and slim jeans.

How should I wash teddy fleece?

Pile fleece keeps its texture best with a cool, gentle wash and air drying. Avoid high heat, which can mat the pile and shrink the fibers.

What colors does it come in?

The line covers Beige, Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Khaki, Navy and Pink, so there are neutrals and a few brighter shades to choose from.

Does the hood actually stay up?

It is a soft, generous hood meant for warmth and a snuggled-in feel rather than a structured fit. Expect it to sit loosely rather than hold a stiff shape.
