Anyone ever come across such a thing? I’m kind of surprised I’m unable to find one.
So, this, but in fleece:
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Also, fleece doesn’t fray so you could just get a fleece long sleeve V neck or crew pullover and cut off the sleeves.
Good luck!

Vado UL is making more standardized designs these days but he might make you one if you asked nice :)
They both use various weights of Alpha Direct, which may or may not be what you have in mind.
Sep 5, 2022 at 5:20 pm #3759254Thank you both for your replies. I didn’t realize fleece doesn’t fray. I think I’ll do as you suggest, Greg, and keep my eye out for a cheap top to cut the sleeves from. It’s only for working in the wood with, so it doesn’t need to look perfect.

Sep 20, 2022 at 6:00 am #3760350How about this one?
Sep 22, 2022 at 11:07 am #3760558Take your fleece of choice to a dry cleaner that does repairs/sewing. Most are very reasonable.
