Fleece sweat sets with a hoodie or a cropped sweatshirt

A fleece sweat set is what you reach for when it’s near freezing and a regular knit won’t cut it. Ours pair joggers with either a hoodie or a cropped sweatshirt, in the same color top to bottom. In Britain you’d call it a fleece tracksuit.

What we mean by fleece

Let’s be exact. This isn’t the fuzzy polar fleece of a hiking jacket. Our warm sets are jersey that’s smooth outside and brushed into a soft fleece on the inside, and several are sewn from three-thread jersey with that fleece back. The brushed side sits against your skin and keeps the warmth in. That’s why these sets work for fall, winter and a cold spring.

One set on this page is different, and you should know before you order. The black zip-hoodie set is two-thread jersey with no brushing inside. It’s the lighter one, made for mild days, and you won’t overheat in it.

Hoodie or cropped sweatshirt

The hoodie sets come in beige, pink, blue and gray. A hood saves you when your hat’s still on the hallway shelf, and it lies flat under a jacket. On the beige and pink ones there’s a kangaroo pocket for your phone and keys. The hoodie is roomy, so a thin thermal top fits under it when it’s really cold.

Sweatshirt sets are cut shorter on top. On the beige one we gave the joggers a high rise, so there’s still a waistline inside a loose cut. A white tank peeking out under the cropped black sweatshirt looks good, and a knee-length puffer covers your lower back in winter. The blue sweatshirt has a round neck. Do you drive a lot? When you try it on, reach forward as if for the steering wheel and check that the cuff still covers your wrist.

Getting the fit you like

We sew these in XS to XL. The fit is relaxed already, so start with the size you normally wear. Like it baggier? Go one size up on the hoodie. If you’re unsure about the joggers, measure your hips and choose by that number.

Light colors look best with more light colors. We’d wear pink or beige with white sneakers and a pale puffer. Blue and black hide splashes on a wet day. To shop by shade, see the pink sets, gray ones and blue ones, or browse every sweatsuit we make.
