Fleece and structured knit textiles for outdoor and lifestyle apparel

Fleece and structured knits

Warmth, texture and structure developed around the finished garment.

From clean interlock and French terry to high-loft sherpa and sweater fleece, structure determines warmth, bulk, stretch and visual identity. We help brands compare constructions by garment use, target weight, pilling expectations and wash performance.
