Is a $910 Fleece Actually Worth It?
Briefly

"Mr. Weiner, 43, co-writer of the cool guy fashion newsletter Blackbird Spyplane, spent $910 on a unique all-wool fleece from the French brand Rier, showcasing its distinctive cut and design.
"Mr. Weiner described the wool fleece as having a cut that was 'balloony, droopy, malleable', indicating that its unique draping set it apart from other fleeces he had tried.
"Rier's pullover is sold out in numerous sizes and colors, highlighting the current trend where upscale fleeces like those from designers Colleen Allen and Miu Miu command exorbitant prices in the fashion market.
"With prices ranging from $530 to $2,350 for unique fleece designs, the upscale fleece market is crowding with buzz, showing a shift in consumer fashion preferences towards high-end, stylish warmth."
