Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie Fleece Top in Navy, size 16, is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and flexible activewear. Its key benefit is the soft, lightweight feel combined with practical features like zip pockets and a quarter zip for easy ventilation. A potential consideration is that fleece can pill over time with extensive washing and wear. This top is crafted from a blend of 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester, featuring a plain design with 210gsm fabric, flat locked seams, raglan sleeves, and stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit. It includes three zip pockets for secure storage.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The top is crafted from a blend of 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester.
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
The Frankie Fleece Top is designed as a mid-layer or for mild conditions. For very cold weather, it would be best layered under a warmer jacket or insulated coat.
How many pockets does this top have, and are they secure?
Yes, it has three secure zip pockets: two on the sides and one on the chest.
Can I machine wash this fleece top?
Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.
What does the 210gsm fabric weight mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of fabric density. 210gsm indicates a medium-weight fleece that is soft and comfortable without being overly heavy.
How do the raglan sleeves benefit the wearer?
Raglan sleeves are cut to extend from the underarm to the neckline, providing a wider range of motion and a comfortable fit, especially during physical activities.
What is the benefit of the stretch binding on the cuffs and hem?
The stretch binding helps to create a snug fit, preventing drafts from entering and keeping warm air contained, thus improving insulation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with fleece. Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Try tumble drying on a low setting, which can help to soften the fibers. Gentle brushing with a soft brush might also help.
Zipper is sticking
Gently rub the teeth of the zipper with a graphite pencil lead or a bit of lip balm. Be careful not to get it on the fabric. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Top feels too tight in the shoulders
This garment features raglan sleeves which are designed to offer a wide range of motion. If the fit feels restrictive, consider checking the garment's chest measurement against the provided sizing information. It may be that a different size or style would be a better fit.
