I know I am going to be put against the mumsnet wall and shot but I need a fleece!!!!

[Lilliput]

I am so bloody cold I think a fleece may be my last resort. If you find me a nice one I promise not to wear it with supermarket jeans and crocs.

No such thing as a 'nice fleece'

Get a merino "base layer " from Howies,it will keep you snug,woolly undies are the way to go!

be gone with you

blasphemer!!!!!!!!!

you need cashmere dahling

Try again. Fleeces aren't my thing but the quality from here is good

I live in rural scotland, I have resisted a fleece for so long now but this bloody weather is killing me.

UniQlo (I think that's how it's spelt) Have fitted female shaped fleeces. I love my white one. Also I used to have a fitted Northface one but haven't seen a replacement in years. Go to outdoor shops and only try on the women's ones. sadly most are shapeless. >>>

Well I used to work outside in all weathers and the thing that kept me warm was a teeny silk rib thermal vest,but now I have my aforementioned Howies base layers and I also have silk and wool mix vests and long johns and mohair socks.Sound glam don't I ? like a woolly michelin man.

Step away from the fleece.

Wear a vest.

Tucked into your knickers.

Now we're talking

OH. MY. GOD. Lands End have a 'fleece finder'

[thud]

mrsmaidamess LOL Is that from Canada?

I like that one, mrsmaidamess. It says "I like to be warm and comfy" but also "I feel that my spirit, while encumbered by earthly worries and desires, has about it something of the wolf, be it my love of the wild or my yearning to howl, howl at the moon. Although I am dressed practically, I am yet a child of nature. Envy me."

I'm getting two - one for everyday and one for when the other one's in the wash.

I wear a fleece to work every day

They come with tigers on, horses crashing through the surf, all sorts.

I don't like the way you can wash a fleece and when you take it out of the machine it's already dry. That ain't right.

In defense of fleeces:

THEY ARE FAB !!

Lots of decent shapes and colours out there:
try North Face, White stuff, even [gasp] Berghaus! Yes, only try on woman's shapes, there is lots of fitted stuff out there.

Oh, and they are SOOOOOO cosy [hate thermal underwear emoticon]!

get thee to a surf/snowbaord shop.

Oh, and FatFace!!

Good Ol' woolly jumper?

Down Jacket?

Fleece from a high-end walking shop "I'd-have-put-on-my-Boden-mac-but-just-rushed-back-from-doing-three-Munros"

My fleece is a Sprayway windblock one, it's completely toasty. Matching accessories help too!

fat face is boring :P

mileni, yeah, but toasty !!

I meant colour co-ordinated accessories, not head to toe fleece!

hellymelly Vests are good if your going stay outdoors. But I go in and out and a fleece can be taken off without showing you bra to the boys!
