French terry and brushed fleece can both make a garment feel soft and comfortable, but they create very different kinds of layers.
French terry: texture without too much bulk
Our terry pieces use unbrushed French terry cotton around 200 g/m². The looped construction gives the fabric a tactile, towel-like character while keeping the garment relatively easy and flexible.
We use it in long sleeves, polos and shirts because it adds texture to familiar shapes without turning them into heavy winter pieces.
Brushed fleece: warmer and softer inside
Our Essential sweatshirts use brushed fleece around 280 g/m². Brushing changes the inside surface, creating a softer and warmer hand. The additional weight also gives a sweatshirt more presence than a T-shirt or terry layer.
Which one should you choose?
Choose terry if you want visible texture and a lighter layer that can move between seasons. Choose brushed fleece if warmth and a softer interior are the priority.
You can compare the two directly in our Terry collection and Sweatshirts.
The same idea, different fabric
Both fabrics fit the same +351 approach: relaxed silhouettes, useful everyday shapes and materials that give character without needing too much extra decoration.
