I recently took the plunge and bought a Sherpa jacket from American Eagle. I know Sherpa or Teddy coats have been a bit of a trend the last few years and I sort have been putting it off. Eventually I wanted to see if they were actually as warm and cozy as everyone says they are. Since the material is synthetic and not actually shearling wool, I was a bit skeptical. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality and how warm they are! American Eagle offers a very affordable and warm sherpa jacket. I found that I could take a walk in it when its sub-50 degrees with no issue. I don’t think its particularly windproof but it’s great on the 45 degrees-and-up kind of days.
This jacket is pretty much perfect for a sunny, October kind of day which is why I wore it to go pick pumpkins at a local farm! I don’t know why but I absolutely love all the dorky things that you do during Fall. Go apple and pumpkin picking? YES. Go marvel at the Fall colors? YES. Go crunch through a bunch of leaves? YES. Go on a hayride through a corn field? Sign me up. Sorry not sorry, ya’ll. Fall is pretty much the best season and I will make no apologies for liking all the things.
As for Fall activities, I enjoyed checking out a u-pick pumpkin patch at Bartel’s Farm and going on their $2 hay ride. It was such a lovely Fall day and everyone there seemed to be in such a good mood. They had a huge field full of pumpkins to pick from, tasty food stands and delicious roasted chilis. It was such a great time!
