Leather Fleece

Doing your holiday shopping doesn't have to be a chore, it can actually be easy and fun. The Internet is a great place to look for those special gift ideas. If you are looking for an apparel gift for a man or woman on your list you should consider leather fleece lined clothing and accessories. Not to worry if you've got a vegetarian or vegan on your shopping list -- fleece is usually made from acrylic and/or polyester and you can of course find faux leather in addition to the real thing.

The fleece lining provides a warm, cozy barrier between the leather and the skin. In fall and winter there is nothing more comfortable than slipping on a fleece lined pair of gloves, vest or coat. Fleece comes in many different consistencies including microfiber fleece which is thin and stretchy. The thickness level of fleece goes all the way up to Sherpa fleece which is thick and fluffy, like the wool you would shear from a mountain sheep. To learn more about fleece the Polartec site is a great resource, they are the inventors of synthetic fleece and a leader in their field.

When it comes to leather, you'll find smooth leather, leather with grainy texture and even patchwork leather. There is faux leather called pleather that has a high shine to it and looks trendy and fashionable. One of the top styles for fall and winter is the bomber jacket. Made to resemble old fashioned military coats, these jackets are often made from leather or fake leather and lined with fleece for warmth and fashion. You can also get bomber vests for the whole family -- they even make them for dogs!

If you are looking for a small gift that is of high quality, consider a pair of leather fleece lined driving gloves. These look sophisticated, keep hands warm and make driving in cold weather much more comfortable. For those people on your shopping list who you want to splurge on, a coat, jacket or vest is the way to go. The combination of leather (or faux leather) and fleece is one that goes together beautifully, and will keep the wearer warm for many cold seasons to come. You may like the look so much that you decide to pick up a little something for yourself as well.
