As a trusted supplier, Starke gives you the flexibility to choose the products best suited to your project needs.
When businesses come to us for polar fleece fabric, the first step is always understanding their end-use. Different applications need different fleece weights—lightweight fleece for sportswear, thicker options for winter jackets, and customized finishes for brand-specific products.

Polar fleece fabric is a soft, warm, synthetic knitted fabric made from polyester fibers. It is brushed to create a fluffy texture that traps heat and feels comfortable against the skin.
Starke’s polar fleece is engineered with performance solutions to improve warmth retention, durability, moisture resistance, and softness. This makes the fabric suitable for outdoor wear, sportswear, winter clothing, blankets, pet products, and more.
Polar fleece is famous for its warmth. The brushed surface creates thousands of tiny air pockets that retain body heat. It feels soft against the skin, offering superior comfort for garments, blankets, and accessories. Starke fine-tunes brushing and shearing processes to achieve softness levels suitable for different product lines.
Despite its excellent insulation, polar fleece remains lightweight and breathable. This makes it perfect for outdoor sportswear, travel gear, winter clothing, and promotional products that require comfort without extra bulk.
Polar fleece naturally repels water. When exposed to moisture, it dries faster than cotton or wool. Starke can enhance these hydrophobic properties with optional water-resistant coatings to create even more functional outdoor-friendly fabrics.
Because polar fleece is made from synthetic fibers, it carries a lower risk of triggering allergies compared to wool or animal-based fibers. It is suitable for sensitive skin, children’s wear, and home textiles.
Polar fleece is resistant to shrinking, pilling, and stretching. It maintains shape even after frequent washing. With proper finishing, it becomes ideal for a wide range of products—from sportswear to blankets to pet items. Starke produces commercial, industrial, and premium-grade fleece for different durability requirements.
At Starke, we also offer recycled polar fleece fabric made from post-consumer PET bottles. This option helps brands reduce their environmental footprint while delivering high performance. Recycled fleece has the same softness and durability as regular fleece but supports sustainable manufacturing.
When selecting polar fleece for your product line, it’s important to understand how different weights and finishes affect performance. At Starke, we classify our polar fleece fabrics by thickness, density, and functional treatments so you can choose the perfect option for your intended application.
Lightweight polar fleece typically ranges from 130–180 gsm. It is thin, breathable, and flexible, making it ideal for lining jackets, base layers, children’s clothing, and promotional blankets. This grade offers excellent cost efficiency for high-volume wholesale orders while still providing warmth and softness.
Midweight fleece, usually 180–280 gsm, is the most versatile and widely used category. It delivers a balanced combination of insulation and comfort, perfect for hoodies, outdoor activewear, everyday jackets, wearable blankets, and pet apparel. Starke adjusts pile height and texture to match specific market requirements.
Heavyweight fleece above 300 gsm offers superior warmth and structure. It is commonly used in winter jackets, premium blankets, ski mid-layers, and cold-climate gear. Starke provides both dense, sheared versions for apparel and deep-pile options for ultra-warm home textiles.
Micro polar fleece is a lightweight, soft, synthetic fabric with very fine fibers, making it thinner and more breathable than traditional polar fleece, yet still very warm and moisture-wicking. It’s known for its smooth feel, flexibility, and quick-drying properties, often used for base layers, activewear, pajamas, and lighter jackets.
Anti-pill treatment enhances durability by reducing surface fuzz after repeated washing. Starke supplies one-side and two-side anti-pill options for apparel and high-use blankets.
Our water-resistant coating helps moisture bead off the fabric surface, improving outdoor performance for jackets, ponchos, and camping blankets.
By blending polyester with spandex, Starke produces stretch fleece with improved elasticity—ideal for sportswear, yoga garments, and performance apparel.
Brushed fleece offers a soft, fluffy texture for maximum warmth and comfort.
Non-brushed fleece provides a smoother, firmer surface suitable for linings or structured garments.
At Starke, customization is at the core of our production. We offer a full range of tailor-made polar fleece solutions designed to help brands and wholesalers create unique, high-value products. From color matching to advanced surface effects, every detail can be adjusted to your specifications.
Starke provides precise color customization using Pantone standards or physical color samples. We control every dyeing stage to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, whether you need solid colors, two-tone combinations, or small-batch test dyeing for new collections.
For printed fleece, Starke supports multiple techniques to meet your design needs.
Screen Printing and HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl): These methods are ideal for bold graphics, logos, and promotional designs. Starke delivers sharp edges, strong color adhesion, and durable prints suitable for apparel and accessories.
Sublimation Printing: Sublimation allows for vibrant, full-color artwork that becomes part of the fabric structure. Perfect for blankets, pet products, and fashion prints, especially on white or light-colored fleece.
Jacquard Polar Fleece Fabric: Starke uses advanced knitting machines to create patterns directly in the fabric, offering long-lasting, fade-proof designs for premium textiles.
Embossed Polar Fleece Fabric: Our heat-press embossing creates raised textures and 3D effects, ideal for gift blankets, baby products, and luxury home textiles.
Polar fleece is widely used in outdoor and sports markets thanks to its warmth, breathability, and quick-drying properties. It is ideal for hiking jackets, mid-layers, camping blankets, running pullovers, and ski wear. Starke can enhance performance with water-resistant, stretch, or anti-pill treatments to match brand requirements.
In the fashion industry, polar fleece is popular for hoodies, vests, ponchos, loungewear, and children’s outerwear. Its soft texture and easy-care nature make it a favorite for lifestyle and winter collections. Starke supports brands with custom colors, prints, and textured effects.
Polar fleece is perfect for cozy home products such as throw blankets, bedding, robes, and cushion covers. Starke offers lightweight to heavyweight options to create both everyday and premium home textile lines.
Understanding how polar fleece compares to other fleece materials helps wholesalers and brands choose the right fabric for their product lines. Each type of fleece has its own texture, performance level, and best-use scenario. Starke offers all major fleece categories and can guide you in selecting the option that best fits your target market.
Coral fleece fabric is known for its extremely soft and plush surface, created through a dense, fine-pile brushing process. While coral fleece feels more luxurious to the touch, it is generally less breathable and not as durable as polar fleece. Polar fleece provides better structure, excellent moisture resistance, and improved outdoor performance, making it more suitable for jackets, activewear, and blankets requiring long-term use.
Sherpa fleece fabric features a thick, wool-like texture with a curled surface. It offers superior warmth but is heavier and less flexible than polar fleece. Polar fleece is smoother, lighter, and easier to sew, making it ideal for both apparel and home textiles. Sherpa is often used as lining, while polar fleece works well as both outer and inner layers.
Teddy fleece fabric has a fluffy, textured surface resembling teddy bear fur. It provides a warm, cozy look that is popular in fashion garments and home décor. Polar fleece, however, delivers better breathability, abrasion resistance, and stability. It is preferred for functional garments and products that require durability.
Flannel fleece fabric offers a velvety, smooth hand feel and is commonly used for pajamas and blankets. While extremely soft, it does not provide the same insulation and moisture-wicking performance as polar fleece. Polar fleece is a better option for outdoor or cold-weather products.
De velvet fleece fabric has a short, dense pile and a more luxurious sheen. It is commonly used in premium garments and high-end home textiles. Polar fleece, by contrast, is more practical, more breathable, and easier to maintain. For functional warmth and everyday use, polar fleece remains the more versatile choice.
