Why this construction works
Because a brushed back fleece knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: a soft inner face that traps warm air without heavy weight. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.

- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
