my backpacking owner is considering throwing me away. I have become a bad fleece..destined for the thrift store to hang lifeless amongst other lowly poly blends and leisure suits. and I even have some bubble gum stuck on my left shoulder HTF did that happen? I'm doomed!

You're not doomed, you're just depressed. Report to the depression thread.

No pink fleece. Black and Blue preferred, dark olive if stalking is involved.

whoever it is has a point. I've got a black fleece and the thing looks like a dustbunny haven..it picks up everything.

i have 2 black fleece pants, 4 cranberry fleece shirts, 1 blue fleece shirt, 1 turquoise fleece shirt, and 1 cranberry fleece jacket.

frankly i don't care what sticks to them as long as i am warm. so down feathers and wool threads from various sweaters and hair from every brush of my head, oh well...

Trolling? At least it's hiking related...

I once ran into a SOBO AT thru hiker wearing all black fleece the day before PA bear season started.

I did feel compelled to mention that bear season was about to start. He said, "Oh, that's OK, there's no hunting around here."

BRRT! Wrong answer! He was headed to Rausch Gap shelter - in State GAME Lands #211!

Used to work around the corner from the nearest bear check station and a co-worker liked to head over to see what was coming in, over lunch hour on the first day. And that's usually where they came from.

Fortunately didn't see Mr. Black Fleece there that year. I suspect he learned something though. :)

LMAO. Best thread in a while.

I have an old school Polartec 200 bipolar from REI. Yeah, it picks up everything but it is the warmest fleece layer I have ever worn.

My fleece is orange.....well, come to think of it, a lot of my clothes are UT orange.

It really works great for me....I can come in from Deer Hunting, go the game and then spend time in the drunk tank without changing clothes.

Blackfleece, meet my white cat Pinky, my orange cat Red, and my beige and grey cat Bit.

On the other hand, I have black, red, green, and grey fleece. Maybe even more than that, actually.

Almost all black (absorbs heat from sunlight better).   There's the charcoal (and black) Mountain Hardware, and the Arcteryx Delta Tau Chi SV that was on sale..... (it's not off-white; it's "Vodka", by god.).

A Close Call.....
thank you all so much for your support! we have so many colors represented it brought a tear to my ...well...zipper...as I am also 3/4 zip Black Fleece. an attribute that has faired my owner well.

HOWEVER, today upon her arrival home, (while I lay slumped in the corner) she had a JCPENNEY bag!! GASP! I began to quiver knowing it could very well be the end for me. Luckily JCPENNEY's does not carry Polartec...of which variety I am as well.

I suppose there may be a glimmer of hope that I will not be sucked into the realm of thrift storedom this weekend.(insert theatrical theme score here) I still have time...to devise a plan to remain in this humble home. I cannot bear to leave this closet...even though I am shunned by the camel hair pee-coat... it is still my home.

Thanks for reminding me GNM, I have a Barney purple, super fuzzy pullover. We call it the Barney shirt, because you can't help but look like Barney when you wear it.

Blackfleece, maybe your owner can re-make you into a warm pair of booties for the feet or a head band or mittens... or a pot cozy?! ;-)

Two grey fleeces. One with a Jayhawk on it, the other with the call letters "WBUR".
