Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Fleece Shirt is designed for adult men who need a reliable, comfortable layering piece for casual outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its primary benefit is the soft, insulating warmth provided by the high-quality fleece construction, making it an excellent choice for transitional weather or as an mid-layer under a heavier jacket. One caveat to keep in mind is that while it features a relaxed, classic shirt silhouette, the fabric is a polyester fleece, which lacks the wind-blocking properties of specialized technical shells.

FAQs
Is the Regatta Frankie Fleece water-resistant?
No, this shirt is made of fleece and is designed for warmth rather than weather protection. It should be layered under a waterproof shell in rainy conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While you can, it is designed primarily as a mid-layer or casual outer shirt due to its relaxed fit.
How does the sizing run?
The Frankie shirt features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider your standard size, but if you plan on layering heavily underneath, stick to your normal size to accommodate the extra volume.
Is this shirt suitable for summer?
Due to its fleece construction, it is likely too warm for summer, but it is excellent for cool summer evenings or high-altitude environments.
What is the best way to keep it soft?
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they leave a residue that can make the fleece feel stiff and reduce its ability to wick moisture over time.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface after washing
Pilling is common with fleece. Use a fabric shaver or gentle lint roller to remove small fuzz balls without damaging the material.
Static electricity buildup
Avoid over-drying in a machine. You can also lightly mist the garment with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Frankie Fleece Shirt; it is designed to be worn straight away. For compatibility, it pairs best with casual denim, chinos, or technical trousers.
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle (30°C/86°F).
- Detergents: Use mild detergents; avoid heavy bleach or fabric softeners that may clog the fleece fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can shrink the polyester fabric or degrade the texture of the fleece.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
