Deal: Fleece Pullovers From J.Crew Are 40% Off

J.Crew is currently hosting a sale on its Cozy Essentials, which includes this Nordic Half-Zip Pullover. The sweater is one of the brand’s best sellers, and takes its cue from late-20th century mountain gear, with a Polartec fleece lining and three “survival” pockets. The exterior, meanwhile, is machine-wash organic cotton.

I like this as a worthy alternative (or addition) to an expensive fleece from Patagonia or The North Face. Part of that is the brandless factor; it just gives you a little more outfit versatility when you don’t have a logo on your chest, in my opinion. Also, if we want to get specific, this is a great option for dads who want to throw the football around with the cousins at Thanksgiving but need to make more of an sartorial effort than their old college sweatshirt.

Find three colors here, all in good sizing.
