Help me find a jacket like this

October 24, 2021 8:22 PM

I want this jacket but it is only available in children's sizes. Can you point me toward a similar one that can fit an adult? The things I like about it: It is relatively heavy and structured, not like a regular sweatshirt material hoodie. It is fuzzy/furry. It has a pattern.

I don't have any experience with this site but here is one Here. ASOS had one that is out of stock but on Poshmark Here. Urban Outfitters has a bunch that are colorful Here.

Sherpa fleece or pile fleece are words that might help you in your search. Here are a few options from LL Bean.

Make sure this is a legit seller and all, but here's one on Amazon pretty close to what you shared.

I searched around in the men's jackets on Amazon and there are fewer patterns other than plaid, but you could dig a bit deeper there too if you prefer men's sizing.

If none of those bring you success, dive into Amazon and Alibaba for the Chinese sellers with the names like ZKYXOJ and STOODOOBOO.

How important is the knit ribbing in the original wait and cuffs?

Response by poster: The knit ribbing is not necessarily essential.

Thank you all, these are much better leads than I could have even hoped for!

Target has a bunch - search "sherpa" for lots of cute results.

Floral is adorable.

I think you may have luck using the keyword ‘bomber jacket’

The words "faux fur" zip hoodie women popped this result, which is, unfortunately, unavailable:
Puma Womens Winter Classics Faux Fur Full-Zip Hoodie Full Zip Full Zip - Black

Maybe those will be helpful search terms?

I love that kind of fur, too! It's very warm, it doesn't mat or collect lint, it's durable so it doesn't get pilly or melt in the dryer, and it feels lovely on the skin.

It is not sherpa, sherpa is kind of curly in little puffs. It's terrible - it sticks to rough skin, and it gets filthy and collects lint and hair and looks gross very quickly.

It's not fleece or microfleece either, fleece is more like a tennis ball texture, but sometimes that's used as a keyword when selling these garments. Fleece gets pilly after being washed a few times.

Sometimes this material is called "faux fur" but usually faux fur has longer fibres. And faux fur often melts (and mats into Sherpa) if it goes into the dryer.

I've seen this exact kind of plush called "minky", "plush", or "microplush", and consider those names to be correct.
