Marks and Spencer's Borg Funnel Neck Jacket, priced at £40, has become the second-best-selling coat or jacket, with shoppers praising its comfort and style for the colder months.
The jacket is available in dark chocolate or ecru, in sizes from extra small to extra large. According to the retailer's description, it is "crafted from plush teddy-style borg" with a regular fit and a high funnel neck for added comfort. The two-way zip-through fastening is designed to create a modern look and versatile styling options.
Shopper praise for warmth and fit
Customers have shared positive feedback on the jacket. One shopper said: "Great for wearing approaching winter months. So soft and warm. Feels a lot more expensive. I bought a size M and usually wear 12-14. Plenty of room, so could layer with a jumper if needed. Might purchase in cream as it's so nice."
Another commented: "This jacket is so cosy, even the pockets are super soft, great for autumn weather." A third added: "It fits perfectly and the sleeves are not too long. Looking very much forward to wearing it, as have not done it yet. A lovely jacket and oh so snuggly!"
A fourth reviewer wrote: "Really like the quality of this for the price. It will be worn a lot this winter. It is warm but lightweight. I like the chocolate brown colour and style."
Fabric concerns and alternatives
Despite the positive reviews, some customers have raised concerns about the fabric. One said: "Love the colour. Love the shape and how it fits. Hate the fabric, it catches all sorts of dirt, and it's impossible to get rid of. Essentially making it look like trash."
Marks and Spencer is not the only retailer offering similar jackets. Matalan sells the Borg Zip-Through Jacket in cream, toffee, and chocolate, reduced from £45 to £36, in sizes small to extra large.
