It’s a warm and snug buy that’s ideal for layering in the colder months
Marks and Spencer customers have been rushing to buy a ‘versatile’ jacket that has been hailed as ‘perfect for autumn and winter’. The Borg Lightweight Hooded Jacket has been soaring up the bestseller charts as a method to remain warm in style whilst the weather becomes chillier.
Offered in four shades with black, cream, toffee brown and sage green available, the jacket is sold in sizes six to 24 and is crafted from snug fleece fabric that provides a sheepskin appearance and texture for less. Priced at £40, it has been dubbed a ‘snug and comfortable’ option by M&S customers that’s ‘ideal for cold weather’.
Marks and Spencer’s description of the garment states: “This borg jacket offers adaptable warmth, whether worn alone or layered beneath heavier coats. It’s designed in a regular fit, with a cosy hood and a zip-up front. The two side pockets are ideal for warming hands.”.
It’s amongst numerous cosy essentials flying off the shelves across the high street currently as temperatures start to plummet, reports Chronicle Live. Elsewhere at New Look, the Borg Button Through Jacket is a popular choice for £39.99, with an array of colours on offer.
The colourways include a bold burgundy tone that’s perfectly on-trend for autumn. Meanwhile, for those looking for a more budget-friendly option, Next offers the Teddy Borg Cosy Quarter Zip Fleece, priced from £30 and available in a variety of striking prints to add a touch of flair to any winter wardrobe.
Borg Lightweight Hooded Jacket
This borg jacket offers adaptable warmth, whether worn alone or layered beneath heavier coats. It’s designed in a regular fit, with a cosy hood and a zip-up front. The two side pockets are ideal for keeping hands warm.
With options including leopard print, cow print and a floral version, as well as a vibrant cherry red, it’s available in sizes extra small to two-extra large. Back at M&S, one quick-off-the-mark shopper who snapped up the Borg Hooded Jacket left a five-star review, saying: “I have bought both the toffee and sage colours.
“Brilliant jackets to wear now it’s getting cooler and love the colours.” Another customer labelled the jacket ‘perfect’, adding: “It’s actually warmer than I imagined it would be and perfect for windy autumnal days ahead.”
A third reviewer concurred: “Really soft and very cosy! Perfect on early morning dog walks, when it’s not cold enough for the big coat.”
And another person commented: “This is so comfortable and I know this will be a winter staple. Smart and casual at the same time. Perfect for when a thick coat is not required.”
However, despite the jacket receiving an average rating of 4.8 out of five stars so far, a few shoppers have suggested that some of its features could be improved. “Its main drawback is that the hood is very bulky,” one noted.
Another reviewer remarked: “If I’m really picky, the sleeves could have been a tiny bit longer.” Shop the coat at marksandspencer.com.
