What makes these fleece jackets special
Fabric & Construction Details
Every Karen Scott fleece jacket starts with quality materials chosen for their balance of warmth, softness, and durability. We use midweight polyester fleece blends that trap heat without adding bulk, so you stay comfortable whether you’re layering or wearing the jacket solo. The fabric surface is brushed for a plush hand feel, while the interior retains insulation properties that keep you cozy in temperatures ranging from mild autumn days to crisp winter mornings.
Reinforced Seams & Stitching
Our construction process includes flat-lock seams and reinforced stitching at high-stress points like armholes, shoulders, and pocket edges. This attention to detail extends the life of each jacket and prevents pilling or fraying even after repeated washing. All zippers are metal or heavy-duty coil styles tested for smooth operation and longevity.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Karen Scott fleece jackets are designed with a relaxed, comfortable fit that accommodates layering without feeling boxy. Most styles run true to size based on standard US sizing charts, with room through the shoulders and bust for easy movement. If you prefer a closer fit or plan to wear the jacket over lightweight tops only, consider sizing down one size. For those who like extra room or intend to layer over sweaters, your usual size will provide the coverage you need.
Measurements by Size
Our XS typically fits bust measurements 32-34 inches, S fits 34-36 inches, M fits 36-38 inches, L fits 38-40 inches, XL fits 40-42 inches, and XXL fits 42-44 inches. Sleeve lengths are designed to hit at the wrist bone when arms are relaxed at your sides. If you’re between sizes or have questions about fit, our customer service team is available to help you find the perfect match.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
Keeping your Karen Scott fleece jacket looking its best is simple with proper care. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent — avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down fleece fibers and reduce insulation over time. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and minimize pilling.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric’s texture, so we recommend removing the jacket from the dryer while it’s still slightly damp and allowing it to finish drying flat or on a hanger. If pilling does occur after extended wear, use a fabric shaver or sweater stone to gently remove pills and restore the smooth surface.

Fleece Jacket Care & Fit Questions
Most Karen Scott fleece jackets run true to size based on standard US sizing. If you plan to layer over sweaters or prefer a looser fit, order your usual size. For a closer fit or if you’ll wear it over lightweight tops only, consider sizing down. Check the specific measurements listed for each style, as fit can vary slightly between zip-front, pullover, and cardigan designs.
Yes, all Karen Scott fleece jackets are machine washable. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Turn the jacket inside out to protect the outer surface and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric’s softness.
The zip-front jacket features a full-length zipper that allows you to open it completely for ventilation or close it fully for maximum warmth. It typically has a more structured look and is easier to layer over bulkier clothing. The pullover has a quarter-zip design, which means it slips over your head and offers a cozier, more relaxed fit. Pullovers often use thicker sherpa fleece for extra warmth.
We design our fleece jackets to resist pilling, but some minimal pilling can occur with frequent wear and washing, especially in high-friction areas like underarms. To minimize pilling, wash the jacket inside out, avoid high heat in the dryer, and use a fabric shaver if needed. Proper care will keep your jacket looking smooth for many seasons.
Karen Scott fleece jackets provide lightweight to midweight warmth, making them ideal for layering in cold weather or wearing solo in mild temperatures. They work well as middle layers under heavier coats during winter or as standalone jackets in fall and spring. For extreme cold, we recommend layering your fleece under a windproof or insulated outer shell.
Our fleece jackets come in a range of classic and seasonal colors including navy, black, charcoal, heather gray, burgundy, rose, forest green, cream, wine, and taupe. Color availability varies by style and season. Check individual product pages for the most current color options.
Some styles feature zip pockets for secure storage of keys, phones, and other essentials, while others have open patch pockets. The zip-front Sport Fleece Jacket includes two side zip pockets. The Cardigan Jacket has open patch pockets for a more relaxed look. Check the features list for each specific style to confirm pocket details.
