When the Army made it official that the UPC (digital pattern) uniform is no longer to be used, does that include the fleece jacket?

Back Story:
A higher ranking NCO and I were talking when we seen an E7 walking wearing the OCP uniform with the green fleece jacket. The NCO I was talking to said something to him about that jacket not being authorized, and the E7 responded by saying that it’s still a transitional period and he can still wear it. I’m a little lost on this.
Anybody have an answer to this.

Go to armypubs.army.mil and go to the ALARACT section, it was published in Oct of 19. I cant remember the number off the top of my head. The alaract tells you what patterns on what gear is allowed. All ECWCS in UCP still authorized.

To make it a little clear but still along what the others have been saying: the UCP items that are not to be used are the ACUs that are part of the individuals clothing bag. The fleece jacket, along with gortex coats and trousers, happy suit, poly pro, and grid fleece, are part of the CIF issued/TA-50 ecwcs gen iii system and therefore the grey/foliage green pieces can still be used/worn. CIF/TA-50 is not counted under the clothing bag UCP deauthorization.
