It's not for me OP ...and trying to be gentle here... but is there something that is not quite as "Pat Butcher meets Care bear" you might prefer???
Just saying!

Fionuala · 14/09/2025 17:03

omg- not for me but why should you care
if you like it buy it

Barney16 · 14/09/2025 17:07

I would wear that in the house over my pjs. It looks cosy.

Gettingbysomehow · 14/09/2025 17:37

I'm not crazy about fleece but I think if I was going to get a leopard jacket I'd prefer something like this which is a bit more leopard and more structured. The collar is a nice touch. Also Next.

It looks like you’ve given up on life.

😅 I must admit I do like a animal print OP. What's not to like, the camouflage effect hides my tea stains when I throw food over myself as soon as I get dressed. I have no less than three leopard print dresses in various colours. I have also discovered they hide repairs well as my green dress feel apart on holiday and I repaired it badly with a travel sewing kit. You couldn't ever see it.

As long as you don't pair it with leopard print trousers and shoes I say go for it.

If you prefer the beige one, right click on the picture and do a google image search. It will show you several places where you can buy something very similar.

VictoriaEra · 15/09/2025 16:16

really don't like anything about that. But if you love it then please ignore

Newmeagain · 15/09/2025 16:39

I am all for “dressing for your lifestyle” and so a fleece or borg jacket definitely is the thing to wear for muddy walks, school runs, etc.

However, my rule is that if I am going to dress in a fleece, etc is to stick to plain colours and styles that indicate I am actually dressing for practicality/outdoors rather than fashion.

The other rule I try to stick to is not to mix practical clothes with fashion clothes - e.g. a dress with a fleece jacket.

MarxistMags · 15/09/2025 20:42

I like it ! I've also looked at the brown suede jacket.....but I'm not really sure
But I'll go to Next tomorrow and see if I can see it, the Borg one.

MarxistMags · 15/09/2025 22:59

I quite like the one in Asda. But I think people will look down on me if I wear it.
Especially at the school gates.

Are people against leopard print coats in general?

Or is it the Leopard/fleece combo?

Or is it that it’s not a proper leopard pattern?

Love leopard print. Love borg jackets. Not a fan of that one though personally

GreenSalon · 16/09/2025 06:36

@ObtuseMoose Like what you did there.

JurassicPark4Eva · 16/09/2025 08:22

See, I love that. But my husband would call me a chav. He feels similarly about my pineapple shaped bedside lamp. 😢

Mildorado · 16/09/2025 10:12

If you like it, buy it. My neighbours are an elderly couple, both women, who like to dress alike. They go out walking their dogs in matching fleeces like this. Cute. They look nice! Very practical as well as cosy.

I think it depends ds on how the look is put together.

I wouldn't go for a leopard print fleece but I have a gorgeous leopard purring swing style jacket that I found i a charity shop years ago that looks great. Someone offered to buy it from me for £100 once ( i only paid a tenner for it)

Adore this, and don't need it but might buy it.

Love the one in the OP too.

JustSaying10 · 16/09/2025 12:57

I really like it.

Moveoverdarlin · 16/09/2025 14:24

I usually love leopard print but really dislike this. That Borg fabric looks like a fleece gone bobbly. It looks ten years old already.

I wouldn’t class it as a jacket either. It’s a zipped jumper. So if I saw someone wear it a few days in a row o would assume they never change their jumper.

If you are set on leopard print, how about this.

I wouldn't look down on you no matter what you wore, even if not to my taste.

Oooh! @Luckycharm13, this one, this one! <jumps up and down> Get this one! Then you can look down on people in weird splotchy not-leopard fleeces 🐆

They got the shoes wrong 😏

What do you all think of this jacket?

It gives a homeless person vibe..

MinnieCauldwell · 11/09/2025 12:53

It's a no from me. It's not proper leopard print, just some splodges. Bit like nanas bed jacket.

This. It’s just not a good print.

Mylittlepea · 16/09/2025 22:45

Luckycharm13 · 11/09/2025 11:33

I like it but I love leopard print. It would go with much. Jeans/black bottoms.

😂 it reminded me of the awful Wolf Jacket in the comedy gold that is “The Apprentice” series 1- Saira Khan

It's not a jacket. It's a jumper/hoodie thing. A jacket opens down the front and this doesn't.

Everyone has their own tastes, but if it’s something you really like, why not go for it and give it a try? You never know, it might turn out to be exactly what you wanted!
