A cosy fleece featuring a charming highland cow print is flying off the shelves at Next, with customers praising its comfort, quality, and playful design. The Charcoal Grey Hamish The Highland Cow Borg Zip Neck Fleece has become a surprise hit, capturing the hearts of shoppers looking for a cheerful and warm layer.
Customer Reviews Praise Softness and Style
Available on Next's website for £30, the fleece boasts a near-perfect 4.8-star rating based on numerous positive reviews. Customers have been quick to highlight its key qualities in their feedback.
One shopper described it as "lovely to both look at and wear," a sentiment echoed by many. Another reviewer, named Mim, commented: "I love my highland cow fleece. Soft warm and so cute. Oh and great price." Further testimonials emphasise its comfort, with Ell simply stating it is "So soft and comfy - my favourite jumper!"
The fleece has also proven to be a successful gift, as noted by Nat: "I bought this for my mum as a Christmas gift: she wears it all the time. She says, that it is extremely comfortable and very warm."
Product Details and Sizing
According to Next's product description, the item is made from a "super soft fabric" and features a "playful Hamish The Highland Cow print" designed to offer exceptional warmth. Its practical design includes a convenient zip neck and a high collar, making it an ideal layering piece for chilly days.
The fleece is offered in a wide range of sizes, from extra small to 3 x extra large, aiming to cater to a broad audience seeking a "family matchback look." While the response has been overwhelmingly positive, one critical review from a customer named Katharine mentioned issues with loose fibres and a colour that appeared more orange than expected, leading to a return.
Alternative Borg Fleece Options
For those who miss out or are looking for similar styles, Next and other high-street retailers offer several alternatives. Next itself sells a Chocolate Brown/Pink Leopard Soft Touch Cosy Teddy Borg Quarter Zip Fleece for £32.
Elsewhere, shoppers can find a Borg Funnel Neck Half Zip Sweatshirt for £36 at Marks & Spencer, a Lilac Abstract Borg Jacket for £28 at Matalan, and a Colour Block Borg Fleece on sale for £24.75 at Very. The popularity of the Highland Cow design, however, shows a clear trend towards fun, character-driven loungewear that doesn't compromise on cosiness.
The surge in demand for this particular item underscores a continued consumer appetite for affordable, quality, and personality-infused casual wear as we move through the winter season.
