Q. about The North Face style numbers and finding my fleece

bounceswoosh

Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I have a The North Face fleece that I adore, and I want to find another one like it. I have discovered that TNF has style numbers, but can't find a guide. My fleece is AJHP, but searching for that only finds a velour match: https://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-tka-100-microvelour-glacier-1_4-zip.html

There's a fleece that looks similar, but it's A7YP: https://www.thenorthface.com/catalo...ariationId=H9E&variationName=LAVENDULA PURPLE

They look pretty similar. I like the loose fit on my current fleece, because I don't feel it's too tight over my base layer. Are TNF style designations meaningful the way Arcteryx ones are, or are they just arbitrary?

My current fleece was just a generic TNF thing at Sports Authority - doesn't list any fancy tech stuff like TK100 or whatever. My guess is it's just basic-grade stuff, but it is perfect for my layering.

They look similar enough that I'm thinking of just pulling the trigger on one and finding out. Thoughts? My one sad face is that it's a little short. I tried to buy a fleece that looked longer from Arcteryx, for pants-tucking, but it's a) expensive 2) more waffle than fleece 3) tighter than I anticipated 4) not as long as the picture suggested: https://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-delta-lt-zip-pullover-womens
