Geometric Button Down Hooded Fleece Coat | Chocolate / S 100100339146040

Overview

Modern, practical and cozy, this hooded button-front fleece coat combines a bold geometric print with a longline silhouette and functional pockets for everyday wear. Built as a midweight outer layer, it balances warmth and mobility so you can wear it over tees and sweaters alike. The clean button placket and a relaxed hooded neckline make it equally useful for weekend errands, travel, or layering on cooler commute days.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Lightweight warmth: brushed synthetic fleece traps air to insulate without heavy bulk, making it easy to layer under a heavier coat or over a sweater.
• Quick-drying and low-maintenance: synthetics dry fast after washing and typically resist wrinkling, simplifying care for everyday life and travel.
• Durable color and print retention: polyester-based fabrics generally hold printed patterns and color well through multiple washes.
• Soft handfeel: brushed fleece gives a comfortable, plush surface next to the skin.
• Affordable and versatile: offers the look and warmth of a heavier coat at a lighter weight and budget-friendly price point.

Fabric considerations — cons and mitigation

• Pilling risk: friction from bags or repeated wear can cause pills. Mitigation: turn garment inside out for machine washing, use a gentle cycle, and remove pills with a fabric shaver.
• Static and slight odor retention: synthetic fibers can build static or retain scents. Mitigation: use anti-static laundry aids sparingly and air the coat between wears; avoid overuse of scented fabric softener which can coat fibers.
• Heat sensitivity: high temperatures can damage the fibers. Mitigation: wash cold, avoid high-heat drying or ironing directly on the fabric.
• Environmental impact: conventional polyester is fossil-fuel based and sheds microfibers during washing. Mitigation: wash in a Guppyfriend bag or use a filter, and choose recycled polyester when available.

About the materials

This style is made from polyester-based fleece, a knitted fabric that undergoes a brushing process to create a soft pile. Polyester fibers (polyethylene terephthalate or PET in most textiles) are prized for strength, dimensional stability and color retention. In fleece form the fibers create insulating air pockets, delivering warmth with low weight. Production options include virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET); recycled options reuse plastic bottles and reduce virgin resource demand. Note: polyester is not naturally breathable like cotton or wool, but its knit structure and pile can still allow comfortable day-to-day performance.

How to measure — body and garment (step‑by‑step)

Measuring your body

1. Chest/Bust: wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest/bust, keep the tape level and relaxed. Breathe normally when you measure.
2. Shoulder width: measure from the outer edge of one shoulder (where the arm meets the shoulder) across the back to the other shoulder edge. Assistance helps accuracy.
3. Sleeve length: with your arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder seam point (or the place a sleeve normally attaches) down to the wrist bone.
4. Torso length preference: measure from the base of the neck (nape) down to where you want the coat to finish—hip, mid-thigh, or knee—so you can compare with the coat length listed on the product page.

Measuring a similar coat you already own (recommended)

1. Lay the coat flat, fasten buttons/snaps and smooth wrinkles.
2. Chest (garment): measure straight across the front from armpit seam to armpit seam and multiply that number by two to get the garment chest circumference.
3. Shoulder: measure seam-to-seam across the back at the shoulder points.
4. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
5. Length: measure from the highest shoulder point (near the collar) straight down to the hem.

Compare your body measurements or your favorite garment’s measurements to the product’s size chart. If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, allow 2–4 inches of additional room in the chest measurement for comfortable movement.

Fit notes & sizing guidance

• This coat is designed with a relaxed, longline fit that works well as an outer layering piece. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider your usual size or one size down; for layering over thick knits choose one size up.
• Pay particular attention to chest/bust measurements and shoulder width—the shoulder seam affects sleeve hang and arm mobility most.
• When in doubt, compare a similar garment you own (laid flat) to the product’s listed measurements and pick the size that provides the desired ease.

Model information (how to use reference images)

Product photography often includes a model wearing the item so you can see scale and fall. If a model’s height and the size they wear are shown on the product page, use that as a quick reference: taller models wearing the same size will make the coat look longer, while shorter models will show how it hits above the knee or mid-thigh. If model details are not displayed, rely on the measurement guide above for the most reliable fit decision.

Color and styling suggestions

The geometric print gives the coat a contemporary edge—use that to anchor outfits with solid-color basics or to echo an accent shade. Pairing suggestions:

• Casual weekend: slim dark jeans, a neutral tee, and low-top sneakers—let the geometric print be the focal point.
• Layered commute: a lightweight turtleneck, straight-leg trousers, and ankle boots; wrap a solid scarf that picks a color from the print for cohesion.
• Athleisure: leggings, slip-on sneakers and a fitted hoodie underneath for an active, on-the-go look.
• Smart-casual: a monochrome knit dress and knee-high boots—balance pattern with clean lines and minimal accessories.
• Color coordination tip: pull one minor color from the geometric motif (a neutral or an accent) and repeat it in shoes or a beanie for a curated look.

Style & occasions

With its button-down front and hood, this piece sits between a casual jacket and a coat—perfect for everyday wear, travel, and layered office-casual looks. The geometric print makes it suitable for street-style and modern wardrobe capsules; it also transitions well from day to evening when paired with sleeker bottoms and boots.

Seasonal suitability

Midweight fleece is most comfortable in transitional seasons—spring and fall—or as a mid-layer during milder winter days. It is ideal when temperatures are cool but not freezing; for very cold climates you can use it beneath a heavier insulated shell.

Care tips & quick reminders

• Turn the coat inside out before washing to protect the surface pile and printed pattern.
• Wash on a gentle, cold-water cycle with a mild detergent; avoid bleach and heavy fabric softeners.
• Use a low-heat tumble cycle or air-dry flat to preserve loft and avoid heat damage.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric comb or electric shaver designed for knits.
• Store folded rather than hung for long-term storage to avoid stretching the shoulders; if hanging, use a wide, padded hanger.

Care guide — keep it looking lovely longer

1. Shake out and spot-clean small marks as soon as possible to reduce the need for frequent machine washing.
2. Before washing: empty pockets, fasten all buttons, and turn the piece inside out.
3. Choose a front-loading machine or use a gentle cycle. Place the coat in a mesh wash bag to reduce abrasion if you have one.
4. Use a mild, low-residue detergent. Skip fabric softeners and bleach.
5. After wash: reshape gently while damp and lay flat or hang to dry in shade. If using a dryer, tumble on low briefly to restore loft and finish drying on air-dry or low heat only.
6. To remove pills: use a fabric shaver or lint remover carefully across the surface; avoid aggressive scraping.
7. Reduce microfiber release by washing full loads (but not overloaded), using colder temperatures, and considering a microfiber-catching bag or filter.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Will this coat keep me warm in winter?

It provides mid-level warmth suitable for cool to moderately cold weather. In colder regions layer with a heavier insulated jacket or down vest for full protection.

Is the hood removable?

Check the product page photos and description for hood details. Many hooded fleece coats have a fixed hood; detachable hoods are usually shown with visible hardware or labeling.

Does the fabric pill?

All brushed fleece can develop some pilling over time with friction. Pilling can be minimized by following gentle wash and dry instructions and removed with a fabric shaver.

Can I machine wash and tumble dry?

Yes—use cold water, a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low or air-dry. Avoid high heat to prevent fiber damage.

Is it water resistant?

Fleece is not inherently waterproof. It sheds light moisture and dries quickly, but it is not a replacement for a rainproof shell in steady rain.

How should I size if I plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath?

Allow about 2–4 inches of extra chest room compared to your body measurement for comfortable layering. When in doubt, size up for layering room.

Will the geometric print fade?

Polyester prints generally retain color well; to preserve brightness, wash in cold water, avoid prolonged sun exposure while drying, and turn the coat inside out when laundering.

Is it easy to travel with?

Yes—fleece compresses well, dries quickly, and resists wrinkling, which makes it a handy travel layer for unpredictable temperatures.

Style tips

• Balance a patterned coat with simple, solid layers underneath so the geometric print remains the visual anchor.
• Play with proportions: if the coat is longline, wear slim bottoms or leggings to maintain a streamlined silhouette.
• Introduce texture by pairing with denim, leather boots, or knit accessories that pick up a neutral from the print.
• For a sharper look, add a structured bag and boot with a low heel; for a sporty vibe, choose athletic sneakers and a beanie.
• When mixing prints, keep one pattern dominant and use the geometric coat as the statement; other patterns should be smaller or more subtle.

Final note: This geometric hooded fleece is an easy, contemporary layering piece that offers everyday comfort and graphic interest. Use the measuring guide above to match your preferred fit, follow the care suggestions to extend the life of the fabric, and pair with simple neutrals or a picked accent color to make the pattern pop. Add it to your wardrobe for an instant, wearable update.
