Fleece (brushed)
Brushed polyester fleece is a knit fabric that's been mechanically brushed to raise the fibers into a soft, lofty pile. The pile traps air for warmth and gives the fabric its signature soft hand. Standard for hoodies, zip-ups, jacket linings, and custom printed blankets. Sublimation prints on the surface with a softer look than smooth knits.
