Fleece

Fleece, sometimes also known as Polar fleece, is a soft synthetic wool fabric which has some of wools finest qualities while weighing only a fraction of the lightest wool. Fleece is commonly used for casual jackets, sweaters and in the case of our gothic shop, hoodies! Fleece is very soft and light, easy to wash (30°C or cold wash) and extremely warm with a relative thin layer of material. It is an alternative to wool, for people with allergies, or for vegans, as it can be manufactured from recycled PET plastic bottles.
