Franklin is a warm fleece that brings the naturally powerful properties of wool to an outdoor wardrobe classic. Shackleton’s designers selected a 63%-recycled wool blend rather than synthetic fleece because wool naturally regulates body temperature and resists odour all day long while providing unparalleled, soft-touch comfort. This blend has been tuned to elevate comfort and maximise durability to make Franklin a trusted, long-term companion.

Engineered for a luxurious feel, Franklin also features an Extrafine Merino wool blend in the knitted internal collar, cuffs and hem. Merino is soft against the skin, adds warmth without weight and is more breathable than synthetic alternatives.

With a refined style to accompany you throughout your day, Franklin has two external zipped side pockets as well as internal pockets for smaller valuables and additional wind protection behind the front zip. This barrier will maintain a comfortable microclimate between the fabric and your body that can adapt to changing conditions.

Franklin’s sleeves are articulated to provide freedom of movement whether you’re chopping wood or hauling up a sail, and this fleece can be worn as an outer layer in dry conditions or layered under a shell for versatile warmth. Everyone needs a warm fleece in their wardrobe so make yours a cut above the rest.
