I'm seeing some recent reviews complaining about sizing and/or lack of warmth. Having bought at least a dozen fleeces from Patagonia, here's how I think the Retro Pile Fleece Jacket stacks up: it fits about the same as the Better Sweater, is obviously softer, and I'll guestimate is about 25% warmer. I got it in black before it sold o... Read Moreut and like it enough that I may get it in another color. The negative reviews I'm seeing seem to be more of a matter of people ordering the wrong size for their body type.
I bought this sweater for my husband for Christmas who loves Patagonia. He needed a neutral colored sweater for everyday wear and its so soft on the inside, definitely worth the price.
I am writing this review on behalf of my husband who is 6'2", around 195 lbs., and purchased an XL. It's probably a 1/5 stars on him, but it's a fantastic 4/5 on me. I am 5'4", 126 lbs and in my 2nd trimester. It's a perfect oversized fleece on me that covers my butt and the shoulders weirdly fit. It has a very fe... Read Moreminine fit on my husband, is INCREDIBLY short, and very tight around shoulder area. I do not recommend this for any males who are above 6 feet tall and especially if you have a long torso. I don't think sizing up will do much help, I would simply just pass on this fleece. Within 2 days of wear, we unfortunately encountered 2 almost identical holes (1 on each side of the sleeve opening), and initially thought they were "thumb holes" but instead saw that it was poorly missed in the threading. Please avoid unless you also plan to hand it down to your smaller-sized partner.
The M runs small. It was fairly tight, and narrow across the chest/shoulders. I do have broad shoulders but this seemed more like a women's cut. When zipped up all the way the area where the shoulder meets the collar did not actually lay flat -- there was a space on each side between my shoulders and the fabric, because it was pulled so tight.... Read More Perhaps this would have stretched and conformed more to my shape but I returned it and got the Retro X jacket which I love and which runs much bigger (and is so warm!).
I thought I would like this fleece jacket. However, I did not. The irregular fit in the shoulders is an odd design. I had to return it. I do not understand why this version fits differently than my other Patagonia jackets.
We're sorry to hear that the fit was so disappointing, but we appreciate your feedback. It's possible that your other jackets have a "slim" or "relaxed" fit and this particular fleece is a "regular" fit. Otherwise, it could be that the raglan sleeve design doesn't work well for you. We hope the return was painless and that we can [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) you make a more successful choice next time!
We're sorry to hear this one wasn't a good fit, but we appreciate the review, Gary. If you haven't already returned or exchanged it, please reach out to our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to help!

Cozy and pretty
I just got this 2 weeks ago and I wear it all the time. The borealis green is a nice color.
This polar fleece is perfect for winter bicycling and hiking. Full zip front allows ventilation when overheated. Pull long sleeves to the elbow to relieve even more heat.For maximum warmth, zips all the way up to to fully cover neck . Add a polar fleece vest underneath for those extra cold days.
I love and am devoted to Patagonia's fleece pile. A little more bulk, but requires fewer layers for insulation and blocks wind perfectly. My go-to in our cold high desert conditions.
Im 6,2 200lb climber/weightlifter I got big shoulders and arms and had to size up to xl, and arms are still a little tight. When I tried on xxl the torso was way too big so maybe this isnt for every body type.
Patagonia's hooded fleece jackets have been my family's go-to jackets for past many years but recently I see a trend of the hood been removed. I still remember years ago there were women and men's R3 hooded fleece jacket that we love so much and wish they could be available again. This jacket fits well and looks nice, and I especiall... Read Morey like the dark burgundy color I picked. But that been said---will definitely adore it more if it comes with the hood.
I am a bit short and the sleeves are just a bit longbut besides that it seems lovelyreally hasnt been chilly enough for a proper testI purchased these and the gloves/mittens on a whim when Patagonia stood up to the weirdos in Jackson hole. So thats a first for me.
Super comfortable, warm, excellent quality, haven't taken it off, cuffs keep the breeze out, size M is spot on - @175lbs, enough said, pizza for dinner tonight!
Great product. Very comfortable and serves well during cool and cold (Not freezing) conditions. I got caught in a light rain and the Jacket held up well.
For late days on the beach, this is perfect. Snug and warm feels good as the Fall season approaches. I love the extra chest pocket and the soft plush feel the jacket provides.
Bought this medium size retro fleece zip up as I had purchased one, still functional, but showing wear, over 7 years ago & was very happy with it. I ordered a medium believing the sizing was the same. This new model was tight in the arms & a little short in the arm length. Returned it for a large size thinking it would be too large & ho... Read Moreping I wouldn't have to return it, but shoulders & arm diameter & length were good, but the body & waist were loose. Took the risk & washed & dried it on delicate & permanent press dryer settings & it came out much better in the body & waist with no detrimental loss in arm fit. This new retro model is thinner material, but seems to offer the same warmth as my older model. I've only worn it a few times but will keep it & see how it wears. Close, with only disappointments being the change in fit from my old model, which has always fit perfectly, & the thinner material, the latter being only a feel issue with functionality the same.
Hi Daniel, if you do feel that the fit isn't working for you, please don't hesitate to begin a return or exchange for the correct size, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.

No shoulder seams pulls shoulders down
There are no "shoulders" on this fleece. For example, look at the women retro pile fleece. There are actual shoulder seams that attach the arm to the body of the fleece. The men's don't have that which "pull" the shoulders of the wearer down. I returned my medium because of this. Not a great design choice.
This jacket was a gift for my husband and he loves it! He's tall, 225 lbs., broad shoulders & long arms. The jacket covers the length of his arms well and is roomy enough for him to wear it with a sweater underneath if he chooses. This is his go to jacket for 58/60 to 68° weather. The color is a beautiful green. Easy to wash and care for!
Its such a good cozy and soft sweatshirt. First of all I bought a M size and it turned out kinda tight around of chest and shoulders but the length was good, so I switched to the L , which it was a best idea, but kinda roomy in hips. The exchange was also super fast which I really appreciate it!!
My husband likes everything about this jacket except the mesh lining on the sides and pockets. He's not sure if keys, etc. will rip the lining. His hands are rough from work too and they tend to snag on the mesh lining when he tried it on. He likes the solid linings in your other jackets (he has many) and is not sure why you would have switche... Read Mored to the mesh. It will be the fall before he wears it, so we'll see then how the lining holds up.
I bought a size Large and it was huge on me. I even had to roll up the sleeves! Fantastic customer service exchanged for a size Medium. Perfect fit now! Thanks for working with me to get it right!!!
Gary Smith
I happy with my purchase, but l went to the Patagonia store in Santa Monica CA. A week and a half after l got mine on line at full price. The Santa Monica Patagonia store had the same fleece at %30 discount.
Two or three years ago I bought the pullover version of this product. It is such an excellent piece that I added the zipped jacket version to my wardrobe. Unfortunately, the fabric has changed and not in a positive way. The fabric is noticeably thinner and, after three months of wear, the weave of the fabric is visible through the pile. Also, the f... Read Moreibers must be shorter as the jacket is pilling far more than my pullover. Overall the fabric just appears to be of lower quality.
I've purchased Patagonia products for many years now. So I'm kind of biased. This item I only wear indoors. Very comfy. Like the larger zippers. Like the full length zipper. Haven't washed it yet, so the jury's out on that aspect. Don't see any obvious washing instructions. If shrinkage is an issue, then that would be impor... Read Moretant to me. I like to wash most things together(except Wool). I have a Rincon Hoody that I've worn for many years. That thing is practically Bullitt proof. Never wears out. I did buy another Retro pile fleece jacket as a gift for a friend. So that should tell you how much I like it. Ciao
I am tall enough so that I generally need tall sizes, but the large Patagonia fleeces are long enough in the arms and bodies to fit me. It has slight stretch, fitting snugly across the chest, but comfortably, and looks sharp. The fleece is thick enough so that with a wind breaker over it I am comfortable outside with the temperature in the 30'... Read Mores. I also have a sweater fleece that is medium thickness and not quite as warm. I expect this one to pill a bit, but it still is my current favorite fleece.
The jacket is warm and fits well. Sometimes the sleeve length is too long for me but the length and tapered sleeves are good. Not sure about the best way to care for the jacket. Service representatives are always friendly and helpful!
I love the style and look of the jacket, for sure. Patagonia makes the best apparel out there, but the shedding on this one is not something I wouldve expected. Im going to try washing it again, but Im hoping putting it in a dryer will prevent the excessive shedding. Ill never give up on Patagonia products!
I like the material but it was just too short. The large was too wide. Would love it if the med was few inches longer in the torso. But patagonia has always fit me that way. It's either spot on or too short in the waist.
Thanks for the feedback on fit, sizing and fabric, Dan! You may prefer our "slim" fit fleece options like our R1, R2, Lightweight Better Sweater or Los Gatos Hoody. Please let us know if you'd like [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) to return or exchange it.

Fuzzy warm
Seems to be cut smaller than older Patagonia fleece jackets Ive gotten over the years. The somewhat looser weave seems to be let a bit more wind through on a windy day. Good as an under layer under a windbreaker though.
Thank you for leaving us a review on our Retro Pile Fleece Jacket. If you're interested in checking out a windproof fleece, we'd recommend the [Men's Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-classic-retro-x-fleece-jacket/23056.html?dwvar_23056_color=KSCT&cgid=mens-fleece).
I'm 5'4" with a 6'2" upper body. shoulders, waist hands head, I'm a big guy in a short frame. There's a reason for this but a long terrifying story. The only things I can buy off the shelf that fit are shoes, socks, and underwear. If the sleeves were 1.5" shorter and the length was 3" shorter this Jacket... Read More would be perfect for me. It's not your fault or mine actually but if you had a "custom club" at say 1.5 x the price$, I gladly pay the extra for your quality.
I have purchased several items from Patagonia but have returned approximately half due to restrictive sleeves or overall shirt length. I feel like the sizes are borderline slim when I , personally, prefer a traditional/ baggie fit. Pataloha, from several years ago, was a purchase that sold me on the brand. I also love the baggie shorts and fleece. ... Read MoreThanks
Let me tell you how much I love this jacket. I LOVE IT A LOT! Its very soft, super warm, and I love the color.
I tend to buy a lot of the mens clothes, because I am not always a fan of the colors and patterns that are available for womens clothes. I much prefer the colors and patterns available in the mens section. With that, it doesnt matter if ... Read Moreyoure a her, him, or they, clothes are not only for the gender they are displayed as. I do wish there were more similar patterns and colors available in both sections, because the womens clothes do fit my body better, but I am often disappointed in the options available.
I've wanted this jacket for 30 years, even since receiving a Patagonia catalog in the mail as a teenager. I finally treated myself, and it's worth every penny! I love the material and color, of course! The fit is great a good length, roomy sleeves, boxy in a good way through the torso (good for layering), high neck zipper and effective c... Read Moreollar. The pockets are big and easy to work even with gloves. One thing though is that this is *super warm*. The lining traps heat and blocks wind extremely well! Perfect for walking or casual wear, but too warm for even moderate cycling. (I was sweating while riding in this jacket on a minus-20 day here in Minnesota this week.) All in all, a wonderful jacket.
This jacket fits me perfect. The length is great. The shoulders are wide enough for me to work in this. My only complaint is the seam in the arms is scratchy at times.
I really enjoy the product. Its been tough to find clothes that fit well to someone who is between S and M size bud this item fit great! Its also very comfortable and Im wearing it almost every day.
Super warm and super light. High quality zippers and seams. No complaints, I even bought one for my dad (62) who has long arms. This coat in large for him fit his arms perfectly.
Wearing Patagonia for many years here in Michigan and this jacket is versatile for chilly mornings and for bone cold fridged days of winter. It fits well, and is very comfortable to wear anywhere.
I have been trying to simplify my wardrobe as of late. Ive sold some items and bought this one. This fleece is really warm to start, but also is perfect for layering. Ive been throwing a navy vest over it on -32 degree days and Im plenty cozy and warm. It also looks great casually. Im sure this will stay a central piece of my outer wear for years t... Read Moreo come. Absolutely love it! My only piece of feedback would be this: I am new to Patagonia and I am normally a medium in most things. Im six foot, thin, and have pretty broad shoulders. The medium fits, but it is right on the edge of not fitting how Id like, because of my build. Not Patagonias fault. Im just broad shouldered. Keep that in mind if most brands dont fit you in the shoulders.
I bought this for my son who is in college in the northeast and he loves it. He wears it literally everywhere. And the blue accents are the perfect amount of color!
Thanks for sharing your feedback. You may find that washing it and drying it will reduce the shedding.

This one is really COZY !!!
I love this jacket. I have an old very similar one I purchased years ago.

I wanted to replace it, so I bought this one because, like its elderly "brother", also has the same zippered pockets that I love.... Read More Still have the old one, I use for gardening.

Got this jacket thinking it would be just what I was looking for. What I wasnt looking for is to be shedding all over the place. The shedding covers the seats and seatbelts in my car every time I wear it. It gets on my clothes too. I really like this jacket. Is it defective? Or is this a common issue?
Thank you for this valuable feedback on our Men's Retro Pile Fleece Jacket. Unfortunately, it sounds like you have received defective product, this jacket should not be shedding excessively.

Lint and Breezy
Sheds lint every time I wear it. Not wind resistant - which I like, because I run hot. But, I dont think that the average wearer would want this much ventilation. Good for indoor wear only.
Fit is on point. Its super comfy and extremely versatile. It is warm and really looks great with jeans and khakis. Ended up getting one for my wife and daughter!
The color and style are truly outstanding. The warmth and comfort exceptional, one of the finest items I have bought from Patagonia. Tempted to buy a second one.
Despite liking the way this jacket looks, I hesitated on ordering because several reviews talked about how it sheds.

I love the way this looks, but it just isnt the same rugged quality as my other Patagonia gear. It literally leaves fuzz balls EVERYWHERE like a cotton shirt, my seatbelt, or just around the house. Hoping the fuzz balls slow down and it doesnt wither away to nothing!
Thank you for the feedback, Joe! We're sorry to hear about the fuzz. While all knit fabrics pill to some degree, this jacket is high pile and may shed more than others. We recommend washing it in cool water with mild detergent, no fabric softener and either hang to dry or tumble dry on low to no heat. Washing it with soft items or in a Guppyfriend type of bag will cut down on the chance of unnecessary abrasion.

Warm and cozy
It was a gift for my son and Its perfect! Supper warm and true to size.
Fits like a glove, soft and warm. This is a little different than the classic Retro, which I wear as a jacket. This is the perfect heavy-duty, cool-looking winter sweater.
Very unhappy with the sizing. I have bought this item before and a medium was great. not any more. I have not put on that much weight. Where were they made. ????
Thank you for the feedback on our Retro Pile Jacket! We're sorry that the size you purchased didn't end up working out for you, we're working hard on streamlining all of our sizing to make it more consistent throughout the line.

Lightweight and very breathable
Just bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. It fits well over a single base layer. The inside is pretty clingy to that base layer so it is a bit of a struggle putting it on. I wear size large in shirts and this large fits well, snug but good freedom of movement.

That makes it good for layering under a shell, but too light by itself unless you are really active. I wore it for walking the dog in 50 degree weather and was chilly.

I bought this for my 17 year old son. He loves it and wears to play paddle. Super comfortable. He loves that it is a full zip. He really likes the black color.
I'm 5-11 and 160 pounds. Patagonia tops are a tricky fit for me. I had to go back and forth between medium and small a couple of times, but I finally realized small was the right size. It's just a super snug fit, so takes a little to get used to, but now that I have it's my fav jacket.
I bought an L for my husband who is 6ft 1 and on the slim side. It fits correctly, but without much extra room for winter wear - ie if he wears a sweater underneath, it feels and looks too snug. Ive ordered the XL instead. Love the quality and simple style.
Love this fleece, looks great and has a retro style, as mentioned in the name. Its warm enough for days that aren't too cold and makes a great mid layer for colder days. Im tall and skinny and the large fits perfectly.
I bought this at the outlet and didnt realize it was a mens until they told me when I checked out. I bought it anyway.

I've been going back and forth on buying a jacket like this for years and I'm so glad I finally made the move. Super warm, but also lightweight and breathable- and hey, looking like a lil sheep is pretty cool too :)
I like the jacket. Patagonia tops run small so I had to return the small for a medium. A little looser fitting than I would like but manageable.

It is exactly what I was hoping for as it is great in that 45 to 65 degree range outside or just hanging out on the couch on a chillier day.

Its a great fitting jacket and keeps me warm. I really dont like how much lint it leaves on my clothing especially white clothing. Ive had it for a week and its already leaving lint balls all over the place. Love the design and comfort but not a fan of being covered in fuzz balls.

Excellent quality
This is a fantastic jacket! The quality is outstanding and the design is lovely. I wear this doing everything and its perfect!
This was my first Patagonia purchase and I'm obsessed. I will be wearing this frequently in the Fall/Spring. Highly recommending scooping one of these fleeces for yourself.
I have been a happy customer for more than 30+ years, and almost all products I have purchased exceeded expectations. This one fell short.

Warm enough in normal cold weather
This jacket is excellent. Good warmth. Light weight. Quick dry.
Looks nice for casual/daily wear.
I recommend.
hard to fit everyone but this jacket was too loose for a medium. I have older medium jackets but this one just hung too loose, The color is also too sharp, the retro pile is obvious enough but then the hard blue color makes the jacket too standout-ish.
I wish never purchased this product. Just like other reviews, it shed like crazy and ruins other clothes whatever I wear inside. Total waste of money!!!

Very Nice
This was purchased as a gift and it is a really nice product. Now I want one for myself.
I loved the design and got it for my husband as a present. I then went to the store and got one for myself too :) it’s timeless and warm, great for the New England weather. I wish the women’s fit was a bit longer as I’m 5’8” but overall it’s great.
6' 2" and 210lbs. LARGE fits perfectly and according to my girlfriend has a "slimming look".
