Brushed Fleece
Brushed fleece starts as a dense knit, then the reverse is brushed to raise a soft, insulating pile - heavier, warmer and softer than flat knits, with the structure to hold oversized streetwear silhouettes. Brushing quality is everything: too aggressive and the face pills, too light and the fleece feels thin after two washes.

How It Is Made
- 1
Base fabric knitting. A dense base is knitted to the target weight - the brushed result is only as good as the base.
- 2
Brushing passes. The reverse is brushed in controlled passes to raise an even pile without damaging the face.
- 3
Weight & GSM control. GSM is checked across the roll so the hand-feel matches your approved sample.
- 4
Softness & shrinkage QC. Wash-tested for softness retention and shrinkage before dispatch.
