Velour
Velour is a knit fabric with a cut pile that gives a soft, plush surface with a subtle sheen — similar to velvet but with the stretch and recovery of a knit. Standard for track suits, loungewear sets, dance costumes, and casual jackets. Polyester velour takes sublimation cleanly with deep, rich colors.
