Terry fleece fabric (also known as sweatshirt fleece fabric) is a soft, knitted fabric widely used in sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, and casual apparel. It combines the looped structure of terry fabric with the brushed softness of fleece, creating a textile that is both comfortable and functional. At Starke, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality sweatshirt terry fleece fabric designed for wholesale buyers who need consistent quality and customized solutions.
Terry fleece fabric is typically knitted using circular knitting machines. One side of the fabric has loops or a brushed surface, while the other side remains smooth and stable. The looped or brushed interior helps trap air, which provides insulation and warmth. This makes it ideal for fall and winter garments, as well as transitional seasonal wear.
Compared with woven fabrics, terry fleece knit fabric has natural stretch due to its knit construction. This flexibility increases wearer comfort and improves garment fit. It is easy to sew, dye, print, and finish, which gives apparel brands and wholesalers more design freedom.
At Starke, we understand that different markets require different fabric performances. Some brands need lightweight terry fleece for spring collections. Others need heavyweight fleece for winter outerwear. As a professional custom terry fleece fabric manufacturer and supplier in China, we provide tailored solutions based on your target market, price positioning, and performance requirements.
Our factory focuses on stable production, color consistency, and fast sampling. Whether you are a startup brand, a garment factory, or a large-scale wholesaler, we provide reliable sweatshirt terry fleece fabric wholesale services to support your business growth.
French terry and terry fleece are often confused, but they are different fabrics with different textures and uses. Understanding the difference helps wholesalers choose the right fabric for their customers.
French terry fabric has small loops on the back side and a smooth face. The loops are not brushed. The texture is lightweight to medium weight. French terry is breathable and suitable for mild weather. It is commonly used in lightweight sweatshirts, joggers, and casual tops.
Terry fleece fabric, on the other hand, usually has a brushed interior. The brushing process breaks the loops and creates a soft, fluffy surface. This increases warmth and gives a cozy feel. Terry fleece is often heavier and warmer than French terry. It is ideal for hoodies, winter sweatshirts, and thermal garments.
From a production perspective, both fabrics are knitted. However, the finishing process makes a big difference. Brushing machines create the fleece effect. The level of brushing can be adjusted. At Starke, we customize the brushing intensity to meet your target handfeel and warmth requirements.
One of the most important features of sweatshirt terry fleece fabric is its dual-surface structure. The outer surface is smooth and stable. This makes it perfect for printing, embroidery, and garment construction. The inner surface is brushed to create a soft, fluffy texture.
The brushed interior improves the handfeel. It feels soft against the skin. This is especially important for sweatshirts and hoodies worn directly on the body. Consumers value comfort. A soft interior increases product appeal and customer satisfaction.
Terry fleece fabric provides excellent warmth because the brushed interior traps air. Air acts as insulation. This helps retain body heat in cold weather.
For winter collections, heavyweight fleece fabric with higher GSM offers stronger insulation. For transitional seasons, medium-weight fleece balances warmth and breathability.
Comfort is not only about warmth. It also includes softness, flexibility, and skin-friendliness. Cotton-based terry fleece feels natural and gentle. Polyester blends improve durability and shape retention.
Even though terry fleece is warm, it can still be breathable. The knit structure allows air circulation. Cotton fibers absorb moisture and help regulate body temperature.
For activewear applications, moisture management is important. Polyester blends improve quick-drying performance. Special finishes can enhance moisture-wicking properties.
Starke provides functional finishing options for terry fleece fabric. These include moisture-wicking treatment, anti-pilling finishing, and anti-bacterial treatment. We tailor the fabric performance to suit sportswear brands, outdoor brands, and lifestyle apparel companies.
Cotton sweatshirt fleece fabric is soft, breathable, and natural. It is popular in premium and mid-range markets. Cotton absorbs moisture and feels comfortable against the skin.
100% cotton terry fleece has a natural texture. It is ideal for casual wear and loungewear. However, pure cotton may shrink slightly and has lower elasticity compared to blended fabrics.
At Starke, we offer combed cotton options for smoother surface and better durability. We can also apply pre-shrinking treatment to reduce shrinkage. For brands that emphasize sustainability and natural materials, cotton fleece is a strong choice.
Polyester fleece fabric is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and cost-effective. It has good shape retention and low shrinkage.
Polyester is suitable for sportswear and promotional apparel. It is lightweight and dries quickly. It also supports vibrant color dyeing.
For wholesalers targeting budget markets or large-volume orders, polyester sweatshirt fleece can be an economical solution. At Starke, we provide high-quality polyester fleece with stable color and minimal pilling.
Cotton-polyester blend fleece combines the advantages of both fibers. It offers softness and breathability from cotton, plus durability and shape retention from polyester.
Common blend ratios include 65% cotton 35% polyester and 80% cotton 20% polyester. The ratio can be customized.
Blend fleece fabric is widely used because it balances performance and cost. At Starke, we help clients select the best blend ratio based on price targets and functional requirements.
In the casual apparel market, consumers look for comfort, durability, and modern style. Sweatshirts, hoodies, and joggers must feel soft, maintain their shape, and support various printing techniques. French terry fleece fabric is ideal for these needs because of its smooth surface and breathable looped back.
At Starke, we customize fabric weight, softness, and stretch to match different lifestyle brands. For fashion-forward streetwear labels, we offer premium cotton-rich blends with a smooth face for high-definition printing. For mass-market programs, we provide cost-effective blends with stable colorfastness and strong bulk production capacity. Our flexible MOQ and reliable delivery schedule help wholesalers respond quickly to seasonal trends.
Activewear and light outerwear require more than comfort. These garments must balance warmth, breathability, and durability. French terry fleece is widely used for training hoodies, warm-up jackets, and athleisure sets.
Starke supports this segment with moisture-wicking finishes, anti-pilling treatments, and customized GSM options. We adjust fiber composition to enhance stretch and shape retention. Whether your market focuses on gym wear, teamwear, or performance-inspired fashion, we provide consistent, functional fleece solutions at wholesale scale.
For loungewear and sleepwear, softness and skin comfort are the top priorities. Consumers expect fabrics that feel gentle, breathable, and cozy throughout the day and night.
