Really nice quality and runs true to size
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017
This is such a nice jacket, and the quality is on par with a similar fleece jacket I have from Columbia sportswear. In fact, I like this one even better since the fleece is softer and it doesn't have any logos on the exterior.At just under 5'4", 125, and a 32D chest, I'm usually a small in tops and jackets. I ordered this in an XS since that was the only size available. It fits well, but is snug across the bustline when zipped, so a small would definitely be better.The quality of the zippers is also nice. There is a pull on the main front zipper, and the side pockets also have heavy-duty zippers. The only thing that lets you know that it's an Amazon-branded product is the interior tag.This is the first piece of clothing I've tried from Amazon Essentials, and I'm very impressed with it!
Super Soft Fleece Jacket
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018
This is great fleece jacket. I ordered a medium instead of a small because I knew I would be wearing the jacket over other clothing. Being a golfer also means I needed a bit larger to ensure I would be able to swing freely. As noted in many reviews the sleeves are a little long but they roll up perfectly and stay rolled. If I had ordered my normal small perhaps the sleeves would have been a perfect length. As shown in the picture the collar does fold down.Totally zipped it is like a turtle neck. The jacket is super soft and was a bit warmer than I expected. The pockets are deep with zippers.
Very cozy~

I'm a nurse and needed something cozy and professional for the winter months at work and this exceeded my expectations. The only problem is it's so soft and cozy I find myself washing it after my work week so I can wear it at home (so far no noticeable shrinkage). I bought two additional colors so I stay cozy and stylish all Winter.
Not holding up well
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018
I bought this for work, I am an RN. I was thrilled with this jacket at first. It fit as expected, doesnât seem to fade or pill and it was warm for my night shift. Unfortunately it isnât holding up to frequent washings, 1-2x a week. The elastic at the bottom of the jacket is unraveling. Granted it was an inexpensive jacket, but for what I paid I expect to get more than a few weeks wear.
So close to a win, Amazon!

I had such high hopes for this jacket, hoping to not have to spend $50 on another Columbia fleece. But alas, itâs shorter than Columbiaâs and I have a long torso, and, worse yet, the hem is a kind of stiff elastic that makes it balloon at the bottom ever so much. Just enough to be much less flattering than Columbiaâs too. Same for the cuffs.
A solid and functional jacket
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018
This is a very high quality fleece jacket, very similar to a North Face jacket that I bought a couple of years ago at half of the price. The zippers are not at all flimsy. The zipped pockets are useful for keeping my phone or keys. The thickness is probably warm enough for temperature around 40's to 50's. The sizing is accurate. I normally wear either a Small or an Extra Small (5'2 and 115lb) so I ordered both sizes. The sleeves are a bit long on the Small and I could layer the jacket on top of a shirt. The Extra Small fits like a glove and feels just right if you don't want to layer. Overall, a great purchase. I highly recommend it.
AMAZON ESSENTIALS FLEECE JACKET
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017
I started purchasing Amazon essentials wardrobe pieces and was very pleased. So, when I saw this soft fleece zip-up jacket, I decided I would try it. It arrived in a nice package and it's so soft. I'm f5'6" and about 200 lbs. I ordered 2x. It is perfect. It's zips all the way down the front and has two slash zippered pockets. The sleeves are not tight at all and they come to the wrist. A really nice jacket.
Wonderful!

So very pleased to find these Amazon Essentials zip fleece jackets. Great mid weight, solid zipper, fit is perfect! Can hardly believe the price. At 5â 2â, fits at low hip. Shape is slightly contoured with flare at the bottom so not tight and easily zips. Boght four colors for winter. Now my daughter has fallen in love with them. Size and contours adapt easily to different body shapes. Very soft and comfy. Would love to see these available all year round. Great for indoors, casual gatherings, camping, layering, evening campfires. Very nice quality.

This is a really nice warm fleece, however it's more like a cardigan as it would not be warm enough in the UK without wearing something else on top. I originally ordered an XL, which was far to small. I am a size 18. So I ordered an XXL which was perfect.

This is a really lovely fleece. In terms of weight, it is more cardigan than jacket but certainly warm enough for spring. It's nicely shaped and the contrast edge around the neck makes it look smarter than most fleeces. I bought the red and It looks exactly like the photo. It is true to size but not generous. I'm a size 8 and ordered a small. I can get a thin jumper under it. i usually buy Regatta and this compares well. Really pleased and would take a chance on Amazon Essentials again.

It's a lovely fleece, it does look good. It's a shame the sizing does not correspond to reality. I usually wear size 16 (Large) that's what I ordered but it was so small. Taking into consideration how small LARGE was I've now ordered XXL. Fingers crossed it will fit. The retailer should look into their sizing because this is quite annoying.

Nice fleece but comes up small. Take at least one size larger than you would normally,
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2020
It is a nice lightweight jacket but I had to guess at the size as the stated sizing was very confusing. Even the size chart couldn't help. As a size 16 I went for an XL & it was a little tight. Probably OK over Summer clothes, eg a T-Shirt but not over a heavier top. I kept it for Spring Summer use.

First one ordered, too small, from memory Large ordered, item was about 14-18. No problems sending back. Ordered 2 more in larger size, although I was not sure from information given if these were going to be big enough - just. - they are fitted so tend to be snug. However nice items for the price, have washed one so far and alls well.

Bought this for my Mum. Lovely colour. It is lightweight, not a thick fleece but warm if you wear a layer underneath. It is a small fit so order a size up from your usual size.
