FAQs
Is the Portwest Argyll fleece waterproof?
No, it is made of polar fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and should be paired with a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
What does the anti-pill finish mean?
An anti-pill finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that prevents small knots of thread (pills) from forming on the surface, keeping the garment looking new for longer.
Can I machine wash this fleece?
Yes, you can machine wash the fleece, but it is recommended to wash it inside out on a cool cycle to maintain fabric quality.
How heavy is the fleece material?
The Portwest Argyll utilizes a 400g polar fleece, which is considered a heavyweight option compared to standard fleece garments.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a traditional collar design without a hood.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment is described as a 'generous fit,' meaning it is cut to be roomy and comfortable for movement rather than form-fitting.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Clear any debris or fabric from the zipper teeth and ensure the slide is aligned correctly; a small amount of clear candle wax can lubricate the teeth if necessary.
Garment losing shape.
Ensure the drawcord at the hem is pulled to your preferred tension to maintain structure and prevent cold air from blowing up the back.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-density 400g material offers superior thermal insulation
- Anti-pill fabric prevents unsightly bobbling over time
- Multiple secure zippered pockets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Portwest Argyll fleece, follow these care guidelines. Always consult the garment's internal label for specific washing temperatures. Generally, washing inside out in cool water helps preserve the anti-pill integrity. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic polyester fibers and the elasticity of the cuffs. For compatibility, the generous XXL sizing is intended to fit over standard base layers or light shirts. If you are using this as part of a uniform, the classic design integrates well with standard work trousers or jeans.
