“It’s really cosy and I will be wearing it many times in the coming months.” Another five-star review reads: “Lovely warm short jacket for winter.
“The brown borg material is so snuggly and cosy, it will be great when the colder weather comes. I wish the sleeves had a firmer cuff as I find I’m pulling my jumper down over my wrists but otherwise it’s great.”
“This is a gorgeous fleece, such good quality for the price,” another customer shared. “It is lined inside and the pockets are half lined with the fleece material for warmth. Cannot wait to wear it.” Get the Borg Funnel Neck Jacket for £40 here.
