Marks and Spencer is offering a winter jacket that’s so cosy, it’s helping customers reduce their energy bills at home. Despite its £35 price tag, the M&S Collection Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket appears much more costly than it actually is.

The M&S Collection Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket, described as ‘warm and thick’ without being overly heavy or bulky, is currently a top seller on the Marks and Spencer website. It’s available in sizes 6 to 24 and comes in two colour options – Spice Brown and Grey.

More than just a fashionable outer layer, this versatile jacket can also serve as a snug liner for your favourite coat. It’s designed with a regular fit from soft, lightweight borg, featuring an easy zip-through fastening and a cosy funnel neck, reports Manchester Evening News.

Two convenient side pockets add a practical touch. The jacket has received an impressive rating of 4.7 out of five stars from over 420 reviews. One Marks and Spencer customer gave the M&S Collection Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket a perfect five-star rating, writing: “Lovely jacket. Soft and warm. Bought it for indoor wear in winter in an effort to save on energy bills.”

Another said: “Absolutely perfect, lightweight borg fleece jacket. Bought for my 95 year old mother who wore it the day it arrived in the post. She said she loves how lightweight it is, easy to zip up, funnel neck collar and its deep pockets. A big hit with Mum, and I plan to buy one for myself, to wear indoors and outdoors. Well done Marks and Spencer for such a lovely jacket.”

One customer commented on the Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket: “A lot thicker than I thought it would be. Very cosy and stylish.” Another shopper remarked, “Very cosy…keeps me warm without the weight that some jackets have.”

Another individual wrote: “A wonderful warm jacket bought to wear in the evening when it gets cold. I love the collar that is so comfortable and helps to keep me warm.” However, a less impressed customer who gave it three stars explained: “Lovely light jacket. Maybe a little on the small side.”

Yet another added: “Bought this to replace an old favourite and it’s better than I expected after reading the reviews. It’s thicker than I expected and is perfect in fit for me. I usually find the sleeves are too long. Colour and style are top notch for the season.”

The Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket can be purchased for £35 on the Marks and Spencer website here. Similarly, New Look’s Borg Zip Up Jacket is priced at £37.99, and comes in different colourways.
