Do you have a Borg fleece you love?

I think it’s called that. I’d like a 3/4 zip, fleece (Sherpa) mainly beige but happy for it to have pops of colour. Bonus points for cropped or elasticated bottom. I’ve tried AI and I just can’t find what I’m looking for, do you have one you love?!

https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1283780001.html not exactly what you are looking for as it is a full zip, but I bought this jacket on a whim and I love it more than words can say - I’ve worn it loads.

I looked on my and m direct and ordered one by lagooners (or something like that)- i love the outside but the inside is lined with some sort of shiny fabric that Russell's about and is annoying so probably not a borg fleece. There were a couple of other brands on there almost wished gone for one of them. Also everyone seems to love Lucy and yak x

I really like this one when I saw it in the shop, looked a little boxey on me which was a shame because it felt great to wear. I liked the mix of fabric with the corduroy www.superdry.com/womens/fleece/hooded-fleece-jacket-265026.html

Serial borg wearer. Just bear in mind they don't last anywhere as long as a normal fleece. They get matted and grubby quite quickly.

Edited

I have the cow print version of the first one from next and can confirm it is super soft and very warm

I have 3 Borg fleeces from Joanie Clothing which I love. Probably not what the OP is after though as they are proper jackets.
I hate the 3/4 zip fleeces though, the neckline just bugs me.

I have my eye of the passenger ones, I know some are a little colourful but there are less jazzy ones

I have the Patagonia Retro Pile one linked above and it's great. Also have Gym+Coffee and Gymshark. I ordered a Free People one a few months ago but the quality was poor - there were noticeable pulls in the material - and I sent it back.

For what you're asking I think 4th Arq meets your requirements. They're good for everyday wear, decent quality for the price. They have multiple styles in loads of colours - there's lots on Vinted if you use it too.

I'm not a fleece wearer but these are really popular where I live and seem to be decent quality...4tharq.com/products/sloane-borg-half-zip-cream

https://www.next.co.uk/style/su636019/f43161 I have this and it’s great

OllysArmyRidesAgain · 22/12/2025 09:40

I have this, picked it up instore as it was so soft and warm, doesn't meet your half zip criteria, but then I prefer a full zip

borg fleece is good if you want it to be thicker/warmer/dense fabric
teddy fleece is the super soft fluffy fleece.
My dds (teens) are getting the superdry ones for xmas, they are super soft

I have this one:

I find full length zips more practical, but have also seen the 3/4 ones, which look great. I love mine - I practically live in it from autumn to spring, and it still looks new a year in. I would really recommend the brand.

I was given a borg fleece.
It was scratchy, stiff - it could stand up on it's own - and had little stretch. Horrible thing and was disposed off (charity collection bag) as soon as pos. I will not buy a "borg" type again after that.

I love polar type fleece which is thinner and more flexible - and have a few that are well-worn/loved (and have replacements for them in the spare wardrobe).

I have this one from Fatface. It's lovely and soft and super warm, also elasticated at the bottom - https://www.fatface.com/style/su613099/f22972

I waited for it to come down in price a bit before buying but it should be less expensive in the Jan sales.
