Blythewood Bee Co. Embroidered Fleece Jacket
A plush, full-zip fleece jacket built for cold morning hive checks, winter chores around the bee yard, and casual everyday wear. Embroidered with the Blythewood Bee Company logo, this jacket holds up to real outdoor use without giving up comfort.
Features
- Heavyweight fleece body for warmth in cold weather
- Genuine YKK full-length zipper — the part that usually fails first on cheaper jackets
- Elastic waistband to trap warm air and block drafts
- Elastic sleeve cuffs that work with or without gloves
- Two exterior hand pockets and two interior pockets for tools, phone, and gear
- Embroidered Blythewood Bee Company logo
- Available in six sizes: Small through 3X-Large
How it works (in real life)
The jacket is sized to wear over a long-sleeve shirt or light hoodie, so you can layer up for early-spring inspections and shed it as the day warms. The elastic cuffs slide cleanly under bee gloves and stay put — no bunching, no gap at the wrist. Interior pockets are deep enough for a phone, hive tool, or queen marker without flopping around when you bend over a hive.
Before you order
- Sizing runs true to standard US men's outerwear sizing. If you plan to layer heavily underneath, consider sizing up one.
- Logo is embroidered, not screen-printed — it will not crack or peel.
- Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Do not iron the logo area.

FAQ
Is this jacket warm enough for serious winter weather?
It's a heavyweight fleece, which is plenty for typical Southern winters and shoulder-season conditions across most of the country. For sub-freezing all-day work, layer it under a windbreaker or shell.
Will the logo hold up to washing?
Yes. The logo is embroidered, not printed, so it won't crack, peel, or fade through normal laundering. Wash cold and tumble dry low to extend the life of the fleece itself.
How does the sizing compare to other fleece jackets?
Standard US men's outerwear sizing. If you wear a Large in a typical fleece jacket, order a Large here. Size up one if you plan to layer heavily underneath.
Can I wear this while working hives?
Yes — the elastic cuffs tuck under bee gloves cleanly and the fleece is dense enough that most bees won't reach skin through it. That said, this is everyday outerwear, not a bee suit. For active hive work in a defensive colony, wear a proper jacket and veil.
