having never worn a fleece before,am i missing out are they really that comfortable?

[CarrieDababi]

all this hoo haa about fleeces makes me want to try one

so what's so good about them?

are you lot on about the cardi like zip up ones or the ones like jumpers?

MA, you could make an entire outfit out of it

don't you think it would make a great skirt!

I am trying to imagine it now >. No, brain hurts too much; I fear permanent damage to my mind's eye.

They are a lot easier to wash, just throw in machine, and dry very easily compared with knitwear, lighter and warmer, and easier on sensitve skin.

I agree that it takes work to get ones that look nice, but IME they last longer than knits which I soon ruin trying to wash.

My kids have stacks of unworn knitwear from knitting rellies, because the few fleeces get worn so much and they prefer them.

I love me some fleece , but you must replace them every so often or they become hideous.

Carrie, I am pmsl at the example you provided...never seen such a horror!

If you're walking your dog or something - fine. I have never seen anyone, ever look nice in one, though.

I need a new one as last year's North Face one went really bobbly
Looked in Westfield but nothing suitable

any online suggestions?

Have to say I'm a fleece person in winter, but only one of the fleeces I own actually is actually nice and thats my Bench fleece. Its also the best because its long-length so it comes down to my thighs and keeps my backside warm, has long sleeves to cover my hands, and a high neck.

Sadly its also much too small for me at the moment (well I am 30wks pg!) and I probably wont fit back into it for many many months!

Its simliar to this one

I look gorgeous in mine Beryl

watch and laugh folks, its my fave apprentice moment once again

excellent clip sassy.
