“this jacket was advertised as fleece, but it is actually polyester; very disappointing; if I found this in a store I would not have bought it”
Sierra Trading Post Responded on 09/06/2009
Fleece Soft woven cloth of wool, or a blend of wool and/or cotton or synthetics such as polyester. Previously a term used only in woven sweatshirts, but more commonly now as a quick-drying, breathable, soft polyester used to make insulating clothing. Fleece-making is quite a process: the wool, cotton, or polyester is knitted in loops, those loops are cut, and the ends are shaved down to size. The height of the fibers that are left has a lot to do with the weight and insulating power of the fleece. There are different types and grades of fleece in a variety of styles to meet your functionality, warmth, and aesthetic
