Amazon EssentialsMen's Long-Sleeve Polar Fleece Shirt Jacket for Winter

I am normally a small to XSmall in women’s. This was the best priced when it came to a thicker shacket material. It is SO warm and the men’s small fits PERFECTLY to not be massive on me, but give the right oversized look! The color is the cutest light gray and it’s SO SOFT and supple on my skin! Also, POCKETS ARE MUST! Love them! Super warm and definitely meant for fall or a little chiller days given its way thicker than expected, but I love it!

These things are amazing! So first to the sizing stats: I'm 6'1" 185lb, what I would call skinny-fat (thin everywhere but constantly bloated looking in belly and chest, I blame the beer) and depending on brand and style of fit am usually between a medium and large. Most things Amazon brand I order medium, but modern day cuts I seem to be trending towards large in more than not now. Anyway, there weren't much for details as to fit so I went on the safe side and got a large. Figured it's purpose of an outer layer suits a roomy fit for layering and while I was right, I was also wrong, because this thing doesn't need much else for layers. It's super thick, supple and soft fleece is so warm. A long sleeve T is all I need under this thing in our NW winters, which admittedly aren't too harsh. Anyway, I cannot recommend this strongly enough. The length is just right, below the hips so when you bend over it doesn't ride up exposing the back, but not below the butt being too long and awkward looking as to require adjustment when you sit down. I'll be investing in more, you should as well.Also, lastly, always pop the collar! The only negative I could find would be to say it needs a way to buckle the collar ends together to keep it standing and secure a seal around the neck. I'll be fashioning and affixing one to it myself.

I purchased the light gray Amazon Essentials Men's Long-Sleeve Polar Fleece shirt/jacket in size medium and have worn it as a jacket several times since 12/24/23. I 'm a 138 lb., 5' & 1.5” tall, 38C bra female with slender arms and excess stomach weight. Obviously, this masculine shirt/jacket is long on me (comes just to the bottom of my seat when unbuttoned) and has arms that are too wide for me, but I like it anyway. In chilly days in the South, it provides good warmth as a jacket. Made in Vietnam, it's clearly a quality garment, with neat stitching, buttonholes that line up perfectly with the buttons, a wider collar that can be positioned upward, inside pockets that are 9.5 inches deep and 5.5 inches wide, and firmer outside pockets (which functionally are not as deep because of the angle of the opening). This soft fleece shirt/jacket is comfortable. The buttonholes are a little tight, but that is better than buttons being too loose to remain fastened. There is a spare button adhered to the inside left tag. This shirt/jacket has more of a straight cut which means that someone with a large belly would probably need to size up if planning to wear it buttoned. Of100% polyester, this shirt/jacket has a side tag indicating the garment should not be dry cleaned, but can be machine washed inside-out, using cold water and a gentle cycle, and machine-dried on a gentle cycle. After washing I plan to put it in the dryer for just a few minutes, and then hang to dry, as I do with most of my clothes. An update will be provided if any problems occur after washing it.I’d previously bought this shirt/jacket in dark green as a gift, but after seeing its quality, purchased the light gray for myself. The dark green color is similar to, but actually lighter than the illustration. The illustration for the light gray shirt/jacket, however, is representative of its actual color. I like the jacket so much that I just purchased a 3rd one in the indigo blue heather color. It is reported to be darker than the light blue denim color illustration. This Amazon Essentials garment is well-made and is a good value.02/12/24 Update: Subsequently purchased a shirt/jacket in Medium in blue heather. The lower stomach area is narrower than that of both the green and light grey ones. The label was checked but reflected medium- the same size as the 2 previously purchased. Whether just an anomaly for this particular jacket or all are smaller in blue heather isn't known. I can't close the bottom 2 buttons on this one but can on both the green and the light gray, both of which fall straight (no gap) after having been buttoned. Due to sizing inconsistency, I've changed my rating from 5 to 4 stars.

Nice and thick my son in law loved it and put it on immediately when he opened it. Sizing is accurate

This is a really nice looking shirt. Fits good and looks great on my hubby. We'll be buying more color. Highly recommend.

Light and comfortable. BIG BUTTONS. Gotta love that! Well proportioned for a good fit. Love the hand pockets. Quality craftsmanship at a fair price.

So, as the title of my review states, this one is difficult to do. The jacket had a lot of good qualities about it...color was vibrant, material was warm, and it seemed sturdy. This also had a "Try Before You Buy" option, which was really good too, however; the sizing I would label as "runs small", cause when I put it on, it kinda looked like it came from Baby Gap. I'm 6'2", 240(ish) pounds, and the waistline didn't really come close to my waist. The odd thing is that I've bought plenty of jackets off the rack, at the same size, that weren't Big & Tall, and they fit perfectly...I guess that's why I am giving it 3 stars. If you're thinking of buying one, I highly recommend using the "Try Before You Buy" option, cause you may run into exactly what I did, and be disappointed. Other than that, everything was good.

Perfect fit true to size ,and a very comfortable softness .
