Taking queues from the classic fleece styles that GORP culture was built on, American Trench is hitting us with the perfect outerwear option to add some style, color, and warmth to the dead of winter by introducing another colorway of its Wool Fleece.
The Caramel Wool Fleece Jacket may be channeling your favorite stuffed teddy bear in terms of color and texture but don’t let this cozy exterior fool you, it’s the real deal. With fabric made from a thick pile WOOL, not plastic, in a Wisconsin factory, there is no comparison here when it comes to warmth and durability. We’re not trying to shit on polyester or plastic fleeces, here, but there is a heritage luxury about outfitting yourself in wool pile, especially when its rendered in a style most commonly seen in synthetic fleece.
And don’t think the buck stops there. That’s right, we’re talking elastic wrists and waist to keep you tucked in, American YKK zippers with paracord pulls to keep your junk secure, and an eye-catching green nylon chest pocket to break up the sea of toasty brown.
So whether you need a top layer or a trusty middle piece, you can’t do much better than a made-in-USA fleece sure to persist in any conditions season after season.
Available for $35 from American Trench.
