Q. What materials are used in a fleece hoodie?

Answer

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibers are typically braided and brushed into a lightweight fabric to create fleece. The fabric can be made using a wide variety of materials, including recycled PET plastic and natural fibers like wool. Hoodies are typically crafted from sweatshirt fleece or French terry, but other fabrics such as double jersey (Ponte Roma, for example) or scuba are also acceptable options. A two-way stretch knit is preferable than a four-way knit. Recycled polyester is used to create eco-fleece, which is a more sustainable option because it reduces the need for the product's fundamental constituent, raw petroleum, and the energy required to produce it.
