French Terry vs Fleece: Which Hoodie Fabric Is Right for You?
Two hoodies can look identical on a screen and feel completely different in person. The difference is usually the fabric. Here is a simple guide to the two most common hoodie fabrics, so you can choose with confidence.
What is French terry?
French terry is a knitted cotton fabric with a smooth face and soft loops on the inside. Those loops wick moisture and let air move, so French terry feels breathable and comfortable across more of the year. It drapes well and keeps a clean shape.
What is fleece?
Fleece starts out like French terry, but the inner loops are brushed until they become soft and fluffy. That brushing traps warm air, which makes fleece cosier in colder weather, with a plusher feel against the skin.
Which should you choose?
- Choose French terry if you run warm, layer under coats, or want a hoodie for spring, autumn and mild winter days.
- Choose fleece if you want maximum warmth and that soft, brushed feel on the coldest days.
- Own both if you wear hoodies most days. They complement each other across the year.
Caring for your hoodie
Whichever you choose, wash it inside out on a cold cycle and skip the tumble dryer. It keeps the fabric soft and the print sharp for longer.
