I just got it and it arrived on time. It is so much nicer than I thought it would be. It is soft, but a bit thinner material. I can see why people don't think it is really fleece. It's not the traditional soft white material that one thinks of when they think of fleece. It is still very warm.  The color pretty much matches the model. It is a pale washed blue.  The thickness is not bad.  For the price compared to similar ranked items on Amazon, I would buy again.
