Browse all Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear →TEDDY APRES HALF ZIP COLOR BLOCK JACKET - CHERRY
The verdict
Fit
Women's cut, slightly more tapered than unisex offerings. Half-zip provides easy ventilation; color-block design sits symmetrically on the body.
Quality
Teddy fleece at this weight—soft to skin, prone to light pilling with washing. Build is sound, but teddy's inherent characteristics mean replacement comes sooner than heavier fleece.
Is the price fair?
Mid-premium at $395 for a novelty-weight fleece. Pricing reflects brand heritage and design; material value would be lower at competitors.
Best for
Anyone prioritizing comfort and casual aesthetic over durability, especially those in colder indoor environments.
Care
Wash cold, air dry to minimize pilling; teddy fleece is delicate relative to standard weight.
What owners report about Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear
Coverage of Aviator Nation's outerwear centers on its tri-blend fleece pieces — hoodies, half-zips and zip jackets. Owners consistently describe the fleece as very soft and comfortable, hand-sewn in the brand's Los Angeles factory, and some report pieces holding up through months of frequent wear. Recurring complaints are about care and quality control: reviewers report dye bleeding in the wash, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, defects on arrival, and a frustrating exchange policy — problems buyers find hard to accept at the price. Verdicts split between repeat purchasers who call the pieces worth the cost and owners who feel they paid for the name.
- Strengths
- Softness, comfort and the distinctive made-in-LA stitching are what owners praise most and what drives repeat purchases.
- Watch out for
- Dye bleed, shrinkage and easy staining in the wash are the most repeated failures, compounded by high prices and a strict exchange policy.
- Sizing
- Sizing is unisex; blogger fit reviews call the fleece true to size, with petite buyers staying at the smallest end of the XS-XXL range rather than sizing down further.
