Men's Heavyweight Polar Fleece Jacket
How to spot the original Polar Fleece Jacket
The stand collar is lined inside with a darker waffle-textured knit, so it feels soft and slightly grippy against your neck rather than plain fleece simply folded over.
Two vertical zipped pockets at the hips with dark zips and pull tabs, plus a full-length front zip, keep your hands warm and your phone and keys secure.
Contrast binding finishes the cuffs, and a drawcord with toggles at each side of the hem seals out draughts, all on thick, dense heavyweight polar fleece that holds its warmth.
The jacket
Thick, dense fleece
The heavyweight polar fleece is thick, soft and very warm.
A stand collar with a drawcord keeps your neck cosy.
Two zipped pockets keep your hands warm and your things safe.
Heavyweight polar fleece is denser than standard fleece, so it holds more warmth and blocks more of the wind. It is still breathable, which keeps it comfortable on brisk walks and busy days out. The fleece is dense but still soft and easy to move in.
The fit
Relaxed, up to 4XL
The chest runs from 114 cm on the M up to 134 cm on the 4XL.
It is 68 to 77 cm long, with a drawcord hem.
There is room for a hoodie underneath on the coldest days.
The relaxed fit leaves room for a hoodie underneath, and the drawcords at the collar and hem let you seal out draughts. The zipped pockets keep your hands warm and your phone safe. The hem drawcord stops cold air getting underneath.

From Maria & Denis
A heavyweight polar fleece jacket is the thick, cosy jacket for properly cold days.
Dense, heavyweight polar fleece is cut into a relaxed shape with a stand collar, a full zip and two zipped pockets.
Drawcords at the collar and hem let you seal out the wind.
Warm enough to wear as a jacket on dry winter days, and soft enough to live in all weekend.
When the weather turns properly cold, a heavyweight fleece is what you want: thick, dense and very warm, this jacket feels substantial and cosy while staying soft and easy to wear. It is the fleece for the coldest days of the year. Thick, soft and built for real winter weather, it is the fleece that keeps you warm when the temperature really drops on long walks and cold weekends. Pair it with jeans, cords or joggers and a warm hat, and you are ready for anything the season brings.
Heavyweight polar fleece is the kind that keeps its shape year after year. Wash it on a cool cycle with similar colours, skip the fabric softener and let it dry on a hanger so the pile stays even. It is warm enough on its own on a crisp autumn day and fits comfortably under a parka in deep winter.
Dark grey, royal blue or dark brown, in sizes M to 4XL.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this jacket?
It comes in sizes M to 4XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the jacket itself, taken flat: chest, length, sleeve and shoulder. Measure a similar jacket you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C inside out on a gentle cycle, hang to dry. Skip the fabric softener and the tumble dryer: both flatten the pile, and air drying keeps the fleece fluffy.
How warm is a fleece jacket?
Fleece traps warm air and feels soft from the first wear, so it works as a jacket on cool, dry days and under a rain jacket when it is cold and wet. Wind passes through fleece more easily than through a shell, so on a windy day close the zip up to the collar.
How do I keep this fleece soft and free of bobbles?
Wash it inside out on a cool, gentle cycle with similar soft fabrics, not with towels or jeans, and skip fabric softener and the tumble dryer. If bobbles appear, a fabric shaver removes them in a minute. A soft brush lifts flattened pile.
