Fabrics & Materials II
Fleece is a soft, fuzzy knit fabric, usually made from polyester, brushed to create a plush pile that traps warmth while staying lightweight and quick-drying. A synthetic alternative to wool, it's a go-to insulating layer in pullovers, zip jackets, and linings, and a signature material of the outdoor-inspired gorpcore look.
Because it's synthetic, fleece is warm for its weight, dries fast, and resists shrinking, though it can shed microfibers and pill over time. Weights range from thin microfleece to thick sherpa.
Fleece anchors gorpcore and cozy casual dressing, and shares hoodie territory as a soft, warm everyday layer.
