A new fleece featuring a charming highland cow print is proving to be a surprise winter hit, with shoppers reporting they receive constant compliments whenever they wear it. The Charcoal Grey Hamish The Highland Cow Print Borg Half Zip Fleece, available from retailer Next, has quickly garnered enthusiastic reviews for its combination of cosy comfort and quirky style.
Product Details and Pricing
Launched as part of Next's popular Hamish the Highland Cow range, this new fleece item landed in stores and online priced at £30. It is offered in an inclusive size range, from XS to 3XL. The garment is crafted from a soft, warm fabric and features a practical half-zip fastening paired with a funnel neck for extra warmth.
Design details include piped hem trims and handy side pockets. The entire fleece is in a dark grey shade, covered with an all-over print of the endearing Hamish the Highland Cow character, making for a distinctive and playful look.
Overwhelmingly Positive Customer Feedback
The product has already accumulated an impressive 4.5-star rating from dozens of reviews on Next's website. Customers are particularly vocal about its comfort and the attention it draws.
One satisfied buyer stated, "Love it, cozy and warm. Nice fit and have had lots of comments on how nice it looks." Another echoed this sentiment, declaring it "the most amazing jumper I’ve ever bought" and noting that "everyone wants to get one when I show it to them."
The fleece's comfort is a recurring theme, with a reviewer confirming it "feels very soft and is extremely comfortable to wear" while also providing excellent warmth. Perhaps the most humorous endorsement came from a shopper who claimed, "This is the next best thing to a real highland cow! Fits perfectly and is very snuggly and warm."
Considerations and Alternative Options
While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, one critical review pointed out a potential issue with the fit for some body types, noting the length felt too short, making it resemble a pyjama top. This highlights the importance of checking the specific garment measurements before purchasing.
For those seeking other cow-print outerwear options, the market offers alternatives. ASOS sells the Noisy May faux fur coat in a cow print for £60, which features a hook-and-loop fastening. Meanwhile, Urban Outfitters offers the BDG Billy Cow Print Faux Fur Bomber Jacket for £79, made from faux fur with an all-over brown cow pattern.
Ultimately, Next's Hamish fleece has successfully tapped into a desire for fun, statement winter wear that doesn't compromise on comfort, proving that sometimes, the most unusual prints can become the season's must-have item.
