How have your Hanna fleece jackets held up?

[mollyi]

I wanted to buy the blue Hanna puppy love fleece jacket (I think it is from 2 years ago) for Andy and never did and regretted it....so I recently bought one for Ben on ebay. It came today - and I am so disappointed. I should clarify that I totally love the jacket itself - it is the cutest thing - but I am really disappointed in the condition of it. It was described as being "like new". In reality it seems to have major pilling and the zipper has alot of the red paint chipped off of it. Is this normal for a Hanna fleece jacket? Personally, if I had listed this item, I would have described it as being "playwear" condition and pointed out the paint chips and pilling. But I am wondering - if I go ahead and buy a Love a Bug jacket, will it end up looking like this after a couple of washes anyways? I am really kicking myself for buying a used item - normally I buy stuff that is NWT only - but I wanted the darn puppy jacket so bad!!

I just bought the light blue Puppy Love jacket off of eBay about a month ago as like new. It arrived Like New, a little stiff like a new fleece is, no pilling, no paint chips on the zipper, or anything like that. I would contact the sellera and get a refund. There is no excuse for that! I've washed the jacket a couple of times and it still looks great and you can't tell it's been used. Maybe try to get another one? People love the jacket when we go for our dog walks and to Starbucks.

Also, they had a bunch of Zoo Pals fleece jackets at the Woodinville outlet last week.

Ours has held up well. The 1 from last year still looks brand new.

I have a Zoo Pals that DD wore last winter that still looks new. I bought a used mouse one off E-Bay a few months ago and it looks great. I think you have to give it a lot of wear for it to show.

Thanks, ladies! Based on your input, I have asked the seller for a refund. I feel like it is not unreasonable of me to expect something that is "like new" to be in alot better condition. We will she what she says!! I love this jacket, though - I guess I will just keep watching for one on ebay and this time before I bid I will e-mail the seller with specific questions about pilling and chipped paint on the zipper!!

Not a Bobblehead - I am so jealous you got one in excellent condition, that is great! :)
