Take It From a Woman: It's November. Do You Know Where Your Funky Fleeces Are?

"It's why after nearly seven years, I look forward to unearthing my OV MegaFleece from my hallway closet each fall. Not only is it now a hard-to-come-by relic from a pre-pandemic world that makes me feel almost transported back to a perceived simpler time when I wear it, but it's simply still a really cool-looking fleece. While I own it in a comparatively subdued light and dark beige colorblock colorway, it's got those quirky little details like circular arm pockets and a very fluffy,"

"The now-discontinued oversized pullover, made from the brand's proprietary MegaFleece fabric - fluffy, recycled, thermoregulating wool - was a massive hit for the brand when it launched in the fall of 2018, and was editorialized as the anthesis to the finance bro uniform. This analysis made sense: The fleeces were brightly colored, had some chunk to them and featured fun details like hoods and large kangaroo pockets - very opposite of the the sea of slim, navy and grey Patagonia quarter-zips you'd see swarming Midtown Manhattan."

The discontinued oversized MegaFleece, launched in fall 2018, used the brand's proprietary MegaFleece fabric: fluffy, recycled, thermoregulating wool. The pullover became a signature, notable for bright colors, substantial bulk, hoods, large kangaroo pockets, and quirky details like circular arm pockets. The aesthetic contrasted sharply with slim, navy and grey Patagonia quarter-zips common in urban settings. The piece offers strong warmth and visual interest, functioning well for chilly walks and errands. The MegaFleece carries nostalgic value as a hard-to-find relic from a pre-pandemic era while remaining a practical, eye-catching cold-weather layer worth owning.
