Local company? Seattle-born, baby. Sustainable manufacturing practices? That's a fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. Size inclusivity? Checks from XXS to 7XL in the all-gender Everyone collection. This, friends, is guilt-free athleisure—even when you're definitely emphasizing the leisure part.

It's the little things that count. Like varsity-stripe wrist cuffs and a collar you can tuck your chin into on especially chilly days.

Nordstrom Rack stocks the mother lode of affordable men's fleeces—a mad-cozy camo number from Ugg ($83), water-preppy retro Brooks Brothers vest ($50). We're partial to Vans' teddy-bear faux shearling pullover (which, word to the wise, would be great for snuggling up with).
Women's Juneau Sherpa Fleece Jacket, Outdoor Research Local
$129

Neutral fleece has a sneaky way of becoming a wardrobe cornerstone. When it's locally made and this adorable, why wear anything else?

You know Filson for its quality workwear, but the Seattle brand's signature attention to detail comes through in its casual clothing, too, from the warmth-capturing high neck to the cozy microfleece-lined pocket interiors.
