I normally have to go a size up to accommodate my longer limbs but after looking at the size chart, I thought it might be fine to order the small as opposed to the medium. That was a mistake. Given the fit, I should have ordered 2 sizes up.
I absolutely love this fleece. So glad I got it. It is perfect for wearing to and from my cycling gym. I sleep in it frequently. My only gripe is that all Patagonia clothes run small in my experience. I am generally a size 10-12 and wear a large typically. I went for the xl for a slightly oversized look and honestly the xl is not oversized. I wish ... Read Morepatagonia offered more sizes.
This is super cozy and I love the longer style to keep my lower back warm. Not warm enough for outdoor winter wear in Wisconsin, but great inside our cool home. Should be good for early spring and fall outside wear.
Love the jacket and fit. However it is shedding lint like crazy after a couple of wears. It adheres to my seat belt and consequently gets on other clothing. Should I try washing it to maybe help? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Deborah, thank you for submitting this review. A certain amount of shedding is normal with this kind of fleece, and often is reduced after laundering it in cool water, gentle cycle, and drying it on low. If it continues to shed excessively we'd consider that a warranty issue, and you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it if you wish.

Perfect Overall Fleece
I wanted an oversized, cozy, and around-the-house fleece that I could wear hiking but wasn't technical. This is perfect. It's very warm, it's comfortable, and the fit is what I was looking for -- not form fitted and I ordered a size up from what I usually wear.
Love this jacket but wish I could change 2 things. The small looked too big on me and the XS fits perfectly except the arms are just a little too short. I also wish the pockets were bigger - its hard to fit my phone in a pocket. That being said - I wear it all the time and get compliments on it!
Hi Katherine! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear that you've found the jacket to be unflattering. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Warm
This jacket is warm and cozy! Its not too tight so you can wear a shirt underneath.
The arms were so weird! Incredible tight going over my wrists and forearms. The length was also short. Nothing about this was flattering. I was so disappointed because I loved the material. I had to return.
Love the color (id call it cornflower blue). It is a bit big for my size but still keeps me warm and cozy while I sit at my desk and work. Not all that great in the wind.
I was seeking a jacket that would be comfortable to wear with jeans when I walk with my dog. This jacket is perfect -- comfortable while also being very attractive. It fits snuggly enough to be warm even on windy days, and it also allows plenty of movement. I love the color (something I would call dusty blue), and I am very pleased with it.
These are a bit thin so I don't find them to be warm. The forearm runs small, it would be hard to stuff any thick layers underneath, maybe a thermal shirt?

Hi Connie, we're sorry to hear that the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket didn't meet your expectations concerning warmth. If you're looking for a warmer fleece, please take a look at our [Women's Los Gatos Fleece Jacket](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-los-gatos-fleece-jacket/25212.html?dwvar_25212_color=BCW). It's warm, versatile and can be worn alone or layered with a jacket.
I love the retro pile and was excited to get the full zip, so I got my normal XS. The zip fit is just fine, but the sleeves are pretty short for an XS, and the shoulders are weirdly pointy. I noticed it when I first tried it on, but figured it would go away after a few wears and they have not at all, regardless of how much you pull the sleeves or p... Read Moreush down the points. Someone else mentioned the same issue and that they simply returned theirs, but at this point I just would like to fix it without having to try to iron them down :(
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and we are incredibly sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with the odd shaped shoulders. If you have not laundered your jacket, we would recommend trying that first, as this may help with reshaping! To wash this jacket, we would recommend machine washing in cold water with light detergent and then machine drying on low-to-no heat. If this still does not work, you can try to steam the shoulders while molding them back into the correct shape. This will help avoid any damage that an iron could potentially make as we highly do not recommend using an iron on this product. Hopefully this helps!

Great for everything
The arms are a little short, but I myself am short, so it doesn't bother me in the least. I wear it for everything. While teaching, stepping outside for errands, or outside activities like hiking. Its so soft and fits well. My favorite item in my closet.
I love everything about my new Retro Pile Jacket except the sleeve length. I sized up from my regular size medium for jackets to a large because most Patagonia items seem to run small. I was right on the money with the body of the jacket but the sleeves were strangely still too short. When I am driving I can feel the pull on the fabric between my s...

not quite right
I bought this after wearing and loving the hooded-jacket version from 2 years prior. This one fits much smaller than the first.

I live in Texas and this jacket is super warm and cosy. I can get by without another layer inside this jacket if I want to unless the temp dips into the 40s. Pairs beautifully with jeans.
I was very excited for this jacket but the fit is terrible. Its pilling & the sleeves are itchy. There is plastic in the seams that irritate my arms if I wear short sleeves. It runs large. I usually wear a medium in Patagonia & I almost think I could wear an extra small comfortably. I look frumpy in it. A big price for a sad customer.
Hello Amanda, thank you for the review. We certainly do not want you holding onto this fleece if you're unsatisfied.

Love this jacket!
Perfect jacket for winter walks/runs/errands. I love that the pickets zip and its so soft and warm. I want another color
This jacket is probably the worst product I have ever purchased from Patagonia. The fit was boxy. Very strange.

Love it so much, I have it in several colors.
Warm jacket, fits true to size, and is the perfect piece to have in your closet.
I really wanted to like this jacket. Unzipped, the jacket hangs ok. But zipped up, the fabric seems to fight the pocket zippers.

I didnt like this fleece
I didnt like this fleece because it was too long for me and I like them when they mold easily to the body. I found it a bit stiff . Loved the color and style but was not a good fit for me for the reasons mentioned above.
Love the fit of this fleece and that it is not too fitted. The slim fit styles seem to be pretty tight for me so I appreciated the regular fit. Really cozy.
This fleece did start pilling right away though and the elastic is coming away at the wrists even though I only used it for casual wear (sitting at my desk at home) and have had it for 1 year.... Read More
The fabric is wonderfully cozy and comfy. The colors are great, especially the yellow zip pulls. And, there is the essential zippered pocket on the left breast, as well as at the left and right waist.

This jacket has an odd fit. There is a seam which runs above the bust line and caused a funny looking bulge near each arm pit. Very boxy in the shoulders and too snug under the arms. Pretty unflattering on me overall so I've returned it.

Very Comfy
I love this jacket, perfect to wear over a turtleneck. I debated over a large or med because a lot of times for me tops are tight across the shoulders I went with the Med and the fit is great. I rember the first time pile fleece came out thanks for bringing it back.
In the early morning hours the temperature is still very brisk this time of year - in the 30s. I reach for my Pile Jacket and head out the door, I like how soft it is and yet how warm it keeps me on my leisure walks.

Love the pink color, very unique and beautiful in person. However, the shoulders are a bit boxy and the length is a bit too long. Great quality as usual though.
I needed to update my fleece. I tend to buy the more colorful versions of things (done with all black), but then I tire of them and want (not need) a new one. I'm challenged with fit - my large nanos are too small and fleeces run big, but I forget which when ordering. Regardless, this is comfy and cute!
Warm, not super warm ... perfect for now in NY spring ...
Perfect ... love the color, softness, fit ... re-made
I believe ... many thanks ... also love when my clothes do not end up in a landfill ... would like to
pass on to needy people when time comes ?
Got this retro fleese for a Christmas gift this year from my kids & I love it ! Perfect color (rose) & perfect fit. Cozy sherpa material. I live in Michigan where the cold winter can be brutal. So I wouldn't recommend this jacket for below freezing weather because it tends to be on the thinner side. But still keeps me plenty warm.
58, approx 150 lbs. I ordered large because I dont like snug clothes and wanted to be able to wear something with bulk underneath. The body fit was fine but the sleeves are way too long, shoulders are droopy. Not sure who this would fit.
Otherwise very nice jacket.
Hi Sarah, thank you for sharing your experience with the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket. We're sorry to hear the fit wasn't wasn't what you needed!

Absolutely love this color! I probably could have ordered a medium but didnt want the fit to be too snug. This is super warm and cozy. My only complaint is that I dont like the feel of the insides of the pockets. Wish they were lined with a more tactile friendly fabric. But otherwise, very happy with this jacket!
I spent a number of chat visits asking what the length of this was. I was repeatedly told 27 3/4 or so inches. I dont recall the exact number.

Super comfy
Everything about it, I just love. Very comfortable and easy to maneuver around the house while doing chores.
Purchased this as a gift for my wife and it was way to big so she returned it for a refund. She usually fits a Large Patagonia and should have ordered a medium. Great quality and delivery otherwise I would have given it 5 stars!
My wife loved it & your customer service is unrivaled by any other company in the industry. You set the bar as high as high can get. Bravo Patagonia. I salute you.
Even after I washed the jacket as per the care instruction, the lint comes off and sticks to everywhere - my pants, hair, seat belt, etc. Now I'm wondering if it's a defect or it's just mine only.
Hello Joanne, thank you so much for writing a review and we are very sorry about the experience you are having with it. Shedding is something that does happen with fleece items, but this does not sound like a normal shedding problem. Please feel free to reach out to our [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) team so we can get you taken care of!

Warm and fuzzy
A terrific, comfortable jacket, that has received great compliments. I selected one size too large so that I can wear a sweater underneath and will wear it almost all winter.
I loved how this fleece looks but was disappointed by the fit and lack of lining inside. The fit was too long and the shape is very boxy something about the shape of it didn't feel right. I ended up returning it and getting the Retro Fleece which had a more structured shape.
People have commented that this jacket has an odd fit. It reminds me of the fit of the Micro Puff jacket with a tight elastic at the hips and a little puffy in the chest. I would like it better if the fit were trim and shapely like the Nano Puff jacket. Nevertheless, slightly odd fit and all, I love it! It is soft and warm and handsome. I got the N... Read Moreatural color.
This fleece is luxurious. Its so soft on both the inside and out. I love the gray color. My only complaint is that I wish the bottom was an inch or so wider - its a bit more snug around my hips than I would prefer. But it keeps me perfectly warm and cozy and works wonderfully under my rain jacket.
The size fit fine. However the jacket piles, sheds & you can see the weave of the fabric in the many bald spots on this jacket. I bought this jacket last January 2021 & I cant wear it at all. It looks horrible. A lot of money for something that is 100% unwearable.
I returned it because it was just too big--shoulders, torso, length--everything. I have worn Patagonia fleeces for years, always a medium. This is the first I've ever returned.
Thanks for the feedback on the fit Alice. We're sorry it didn't work for you. This is a regular fit so it does run a bit more roomy than our slim fit fleeces.

Thin and piles- Not worth the Price tag
This is not up to the standard of quality I expect from Patagonia. It's a cute style so I fell for it, but it's paper thin, the wind cuts right through it. And it piles and sheds so easily- my seatbelt was covered in white fuzz from this "fleece." Don't bother.
Hi Lauren, we're very sorry to hear about your experience with the Patagonia Women's Retro Pile Fleece Jacket. If you're looking for something with more wind-resistance and hardier for cold climates, try taking a look at our Women's Classic Retro-X® Fleece Jacket. It has a windproof barrier and it's moisture wicking.

Gorgeous color, super cozy, not a great fit
I really, really wanted to love this jacket. The color (rosebud) is gorgeous, the fleece is cozy, but the fit is just a little bit too sloppy for me. I always wear M in Patagonia, and if anything I normally size up. But with this jacket I'd need to go with a small to get the right fit for me.

I'm one of those people that always runs between a medium and a large, so I decided to go for a large so I could wear it over thicker sweaters or other long sleeve shirts.

Lovely, cozy material. Kind of a boxy fit, particularly in the shoulders. If one is petite, like me, then it will be a bit long, hitting below the hips.
I wanted to love this so badly but its just such an awkward unflattering fit. It was too long and also too tight. It would have kept me warm but I wouldnt have reached for it often, so it went back.

The cut is a bit tight in the armpits and the wrist on one side has already pulled on a side zipper...this has never happened to my Patagonia gear let alone the first week of wearing it.
Hello Risa, we're sorry to hear about the issues you've had with your fleece! To prevent pilling, we recommend washing it either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get upbraided. To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help it look brand new again. Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your fleece, you are absolutely welcome to send it in for a [warranty return or a free repair](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

I love it! It's exactly what I needed for those chilly days and the navy color goes with everything.
I love the fleece weight and the fit on this jacket. The color is really nice too. I'm 5'4 so appreciate when jackets aren't too long. This one isn't so short that it rides up, which is great.

Comfy and warm. I mainly wear it as a light sweater for casual use but have used it skiing. It is a little bigger for a S in Patagonia sizing but not overly.

The material is extremely thick and soft which provides a lot of warmth. I initially ordered the small, which fit well everywhere except for across my back.

It felt warm but I t looked more stylish online, the fit was bulky, perhaps an XS might be better but did not like the trim down the zipper. A little more fitting around the waist and shoulder would be great. It also ran long on me so a petite version would be nice. Ended up returning and will look for a different style.
Christmas present for my wife who is always chilly, indoors and out. I got it large for extra coziness, but it runs true to size and is doing its duty keeping her warm
Initially bought a large bc of my thick waist, but sized down and its perfect. I love the navy. I want to wear it every day, so Ill probably need another. ;)
My boyfriend got me this jacket for Christmas. At first I was oh its cute but its thin didnt think of it anything special.

I am normally a medium in other brands but have consistently worn a large in Patagonia clothing because they run small and narrow. Not the case with this. It is huge.

Poor Quality Fleece
Own a fair number of Patagonia products and haven't been disappointed except for this jacket. I've worn it for about a year and while it initially shed everywhere, it's really pilling up a storm. A bit unsightly when the pilled stands are dangling from high wear areas (under the arms).
Pilling is a common problem with all fleece in high friction areas. You can remove the pills on a high pile fleece with a razor or a pair of cuticle scissors.

Love this jacket but it sheds
I LOVE this jacket and it's super warm, but wow does it shed. There are poofs of white wool floating around our car and any dark pants I wear with it.
Hi Michelle, we're so happy to hear that love your Women's Retro Pile Fleece Jacket. We're sorry about that shedding, washing your item can help encourage the fleece to settle more quickly.
To wash your fleece item, we recommend using cool to cold water on a gentle cycle in your washing machine.

These help to prevent the number of microfibers that may enter rivers and oceans when washing.
Once washed, you can place your item in your dryer on a low heat setting. Please note, drying down items can take a while, so you may need to use more than one dry cycle. You’re also welcome to hang dry if that works best for you.

Every Dang Day
Its soft, cozy, durable, and always feels appropriate for work, chillin, errands, etc.
I wear this jacket more than my other jackets. But I do wish the tailoring featured Ragland sleeves instead of the set in sleeves. It would be a more comfortable jacket for me.
This is a great transition weather jacket. Its warm, light, and super comfortable. I normally wear a small but bought the medium so I can wear a sweater inside. Love the burgundy color for fall.
This is a perfect fall jacket if you are looking for warm and light. The burgundy color is lovely. Its like wearing a warm blanket around town. I bought it in Medium (I usually wear a small) so I can wear a light sweater underneath.
