Long length fleece jacket?

Like the bench/hooch ones BUT with a hood. And slightly fitted so it looks okay on someone curvy ish . Can only find fleece lined ones which isn't what I want.

Not stylish or beautiful, I know. But practical.

Something like this?

Same - but in the sale so less choice

Mmmm thanks, close but I think I want it longer still... mid thigh length? Maybe I can get someone to make one for me. I've got A Thing about waterproofs, the fabric sets my teeth on edge, but I find fleece nearly as effective unless it's really hammering down. But it's so hard to find a hooded fleece jacket that isn't short and shapeless. I can find lovely long length fitted ones with no good, and good hooded ones that are too short to be much use in bad weather [sigh]

No hood not no good! Idiot phone.

A bit different but the hood might not be close fitting enough.

I found a nice one at Navabi and Uniqlo, but they are out of stock. I'm guessing that it's the wrong season for coats at the moment.

Not so keen on the price though. But... I absolutely love it. Thank you. It's my birthday soon... ;)

That LandsEnd fleece comes in a slightly longer version (click the Tall tab), but only in the larger sizes. And don't forget it's pictured on a model, and will seem longer on a normal woman.

However, your suggestion of making a jacket is a really good idea. It's incredibly easy to sew, and you can buy good quality fleece online. For example, Polartec 200
