Primark shoppers are flocking to stores as a popular jacket makes a comeback after previously selling out. The sought-after item is described as perfect for stylishly layering on cold days, and became an internet hit earlier in the month.

The £18 Animal Pattern Half-Zip Fleece by Primark comes in leopard or zebra prints, with the leopard variety causing an online frenzy among shoppers. The piece has a “high neck and half-zip fastening” that’s easily adjustable “for extra warmth or a more relaxed feel”.

This fleece isn’t just eye-catching. It boasts functional attributes too, like two zippered front pockets for your day-to-day essentials and thick fabric for insulation.

With a “bold all-over animal print” that is guaranteed to turn heads, its clear to see why shoppers fell in love with the design. And, there’s now a second chance for those that missed out on the first batch to hit the shelves.

With its return, given the cold chill that’s coming in the next few weeks, shoppers seem poised for another opportunity to snag one. A Lincoln branch announced on TikTok: “Limited availability so grab one whilst they are here!”

As reported by the Mirror, one shopper expressed their excitement, saying: “I need need need this!” Another said: “Ooooh can’t wait to get this!”

A third commented: “That looks so warm and cosy!” Someone else simply stated: “Love it!”

Primark has introduced a wide range of items featuring the leopard print design this season. This includes something for any style from bold jeans and statement bags to more subtle-looking accessories from as little as £2.

For those planning a trip to Primark, it could be wise to browse their website before going. Some items may be listed there, providing an option to check availability down to your preferred sizes and colours.

A handful of select Primark stores also provide a Click and Collect option, eliminating the need to rummage through stacks and racks of clothing for your desired item. This service is currently only available in specific stores (listed here) but it is expected to be accessible in all Primark outlets by the end of 2025.
