Uniqlo shoppers race to buy £24 fleece in 11 colours

Uniqlo's Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-Zip Jacket, priced at £24.90, has drawn a rush of shoppers, with some buying it in multiple colours. The fleece, which features a luxuriously long pile, is available in 11 shades including black, brown, off white, navy, pink, blue and yellow.

Designed with a classic zip-up front and a cosy funnel neck, the jacket is pitched as offering 'ultimate comfort' for activities such as running errands, walking the dog or relaxing at home.

Shopper reviews and ratings

On the Uniqlo website, the fluffy yarn fleece holds a 4.8/5 star rating based on more than 2,490 global customer reviews. One shopper said: "The best quality clothes. Bought one to try. Surprised by its high quality. Then bought one for each of my family."

A second customer described it as "Like a cloud. Very soft and lightweight! Very comfortable to wear and good quality, I'm going to buy them in other colours." A third reviewer praised it as "Absolute comfort. Comfortable, warm, and cosy jacket. I'm even going to get another one."

One shopper, however, noted drawbacks, writing: "It is warm and comfy but the jacket is a bit long for my height. I also noticed that lint and fluff tend to stick to the fabric over time, which stands out easily against the off-white colour."

Alternative options from other retailers

Marks and Spencer sells the Borg Zip Up Collared Neck Fleece Jacket for £46 in black and white, which is currently 'trending' on its website. Next offers The Set 2 Pack Zip Through Borg Gilet Brown/Oat Marl for £30, which includes one brown and one oat borg gilet, working out at £15 each.

For those with a larger budget, Uniqlo also stocks the Pile Lined Fleece Combination Jacket at £39.90. This version has a sportier look, mixing fleece with woven fabric and fastening with snap buttons rather than a zip. It comes in four colours: wine, off white, black and navy.

Higher-priced fleece variant

The Pile Lined Fleece Combination Jacket holds a near-perfect 4.9/5 star rating from close to 200 customer reviews. One shopper said: "Lovely warm cardigan, especially for autumn days. The lining is fleece, so double warmth on the inside and outside." Another buyer commented: "Really comfortable and super warm - gorgeous colour too!"

The jacket is available on the Uniqlo website, where shoppers can also find the Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-Zip Jacket in its 11 colour options.
