Ripstop nylon deserves some love too. Great bit of naming by marketing at least. Envy. Fabrics should be natural or * technical * I think.

Well now I'm confused. I thought hoodies and fleeces were the same thing.

hoodies have hoods can be of any material
fleeces are made of fleece material (plastic) usually dont have a hood (though not impossible)

I have a ripstop top with a fleece lining that's basically the best thing ever (like the buffalo shirts if anyone knows them, but another brand that costs much less)

And a fleece hoodie from the same place with a zip pocket and thumb holes in the sleeves

hotrock burns down the front? standard in an old 90s fleece

Goes without saying...

That fleece was almost like a brother to me - we went everywhere together

Buffalo mountain shirt! Long wanted one but couldn't really justify it for my glorified Hill walking.

Not really:

The difference is one is fleecy on the inside, and one on the outside.

The chap on the left is wearing a non-fleecy hoody tbf which we all know are substandard when you get a fleecy version.

My hoodies are fleecy in the inside, and the other fleeces are just boring ordinary fleeces.

I can no longer claim to be middle-aged. Young at heart, though.

Whilst I do own a fleece, I don't currently know it's location.

nothing is more middle aged than the jeans and suit jacket look imo. Theres something vaguely tory about it as well.

That plus moccasins/brogues for full house.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I'm wearing jeans AND a fleecy hoody today.

one like this?

I would never steal petee's style - that sort of thing looks much better on him I'm sure.

Me to, but I'll advance you high doc boots as well.

I don't own a fleece but do have several hoodies.

 

[marty21]

I own more hoodies than fleeces

 

[gentlegreen]

My winter attire, jacket-wise, is an Aldi fleece-lined gilet - from 2022.
On top of that is a "Granite Outerwear" quilted coat - was that a Millets brand ?
My almost waterproof shell is courtesy of ASDA in 2003.

Classy

Good question
To what is the answer

Definite care home vibe to this conversation so far

If this thread was a radio station, it would be Radio 2.

I am a middle aged woman and I own multiple fleeces.

I had to think about the 1st half of this sentence, I now feel old I think I only have one fleece jumper, I prefer wool for warmth tbh

 

[hash tag]

I think I have 2 fleeces owned, and 1 work one. I have 1 shirt hoodie and 2 jacket hoodies, I think. .
Fleeces do appear to have gone out of fashion a little bit. There aren't as many in the shops as there used to be.

What’s the definition of a fleece does it have to be made from plastic?

If it’s got a hood it’s not a fleece?

That’s a fleecy hoodie.

I don't know that I've ever listened to radio 2. For music radio, occasionally classical or more often than not, something as heavy as I can find.
