Although synthetic in nature this fabric is in many ways better than woolen material and used extensively to make winter jackets of all kinds; mens down jacket, ski jacket or a softs[censored] jacket. 

A fleece jacket is a unisex, informal garment and therefore can be of any color and hue contrary to a winter coat made of plaid or wool in staid colors like black, gray, blue or brown, fawn or ecru. However a ski jacket is not made of fleece but another kind of synthetic fabric that is not piled and more water proof. A winter jacket for both sexes can be made of fleece or wool or some other material depending upon the purpose and place where it has to be used. 

Mens down jacket is usually made of multiple layers, one of which is most likely to be fleece. The other layer or lining in a mens down jacket can be synthetic down used to make the garment warmer. A casual winter jacket could be a softs jacket that is an outermost garment in which fleece is fused with some flexible water proof material to give both the warm and water resistant effect.
