A production-ready French Terry Knit for Hoodies and Joggers, specified around warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface. Composition is polyester spandex with graphene modified filament, which delivers thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself. Every lot is finished and tested so that Thermal Brushed is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a looped back French terry means absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face, and that structure is what allows the fabric to traps warm air while staying light enough for active use under the conditions Hoodies and Joggers actually face.

Performance features
- Thermal Brushed: traps warm air while staying light enough for active use, measured by ISO 11092 thermal resistance.
- Hand and comfort: thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself.
- Construction benefit: absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
The first choice for Hoodies and Joggers, where warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

Ordering, sampling and quality control
Trial quantity starts at 300 metres per colour with laboratory dips in five working days. Bulk lead time is 20-25 days after approval, and every lot ships with a test report, a shade check and an inspection record.

Frequently asked questions
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
