1. Product Overview
The Patagonia Retro Pile Jacket is a classic fleece inspired by vintage outdoor gear, made from 100% recycled polyester double-sided shearling fleece. It’s warm, soft, and built for comfort — ideal for casual outdoor adventures, camping, or everyday wear.
2. Fit and Size Recommendations
This jacket has a regular fit, offering comfort without being too loose. It layers easily over T-shirts and under heavier outerwear.
- Fit: Regular fit
- Sizing Guide: True to size. If you prefer a relaxed, oversized look or plan to wear thicker layers beneath, consider sizing up.
3. Fit Tip
For a more casual, roomy style, go one size up. The fleece is naturally thick, so if you’re in between sizes or want extra space for a hoodie underneath, sizing up gives a better drape.
