Micro Fleece

Micro 昀氀eece is created by incorporating an additional thread in a single jersey knitted fabric, forming a
loop at a 90° angle to the surface. These loops are then cut open and brushed, resulting in the familiar
so昀琀 surface. Depending on the desired functionality, both sides of the fabric can be brushed.
Our micro 昀氀eece is made from a polyester multi昀椀lament. With a number of 144 昀椀laments per yarn, it is
referred to as a micro 昀椀bre. The so昀琀, brushed surface not only o昀昀ers a high level of wearing comfort, but
can also optimally retain body heat due to the extremely high number of individual 昀椀bres on the surface
of the fabric. For long-term durability, our micro 昀氀eece styles are provided with an anti-pilling 昀椀nish.

Knit Fleece

The manufacturing process of our knit fleece is similar to that of a micro fleece brushed on one
side and scores with the same advantages. On the right side of the fabric, however, a comparatively
thick polyester multifilament creates the distinctive knit structure that gives the knit fleece its
sporty, elegant look.

2-Thread-Fleece

2-thread-昀氀eece is a single jersey construction with a second yarn loosely
attached on the backside, which is 昀椀nished by brushing. These fabrics
are usually lighter than their 3-end counterparts.

* You can find 100% ring-spun cotton 2-end fleece in our Light Hoodie.

3-Thread-Fleece
2-Thread-Fleece
A 3-thread-昀氀eece is a single jersey with two consecutive yarns and a third
yarn loosely attached on the backside. This construction allows for di昀昀erent
materials on the fabric‘s front and back sides. The le昀琀 fabric side is brushed
a昀琀er the knitting process to achieve the characteristic so昀琀 interior.

* At Stedman® we process 3-thread-fleece from ring-spun yarns in almost all of our sweatshirts
and hoodies. It utilizes pure cotton as the surface yarn, creating a soft, well-finished surface. For
dimensional stability, we use a mixed yarn of cotton and polyester as the connecting yarn and
weave in puffy polyester yarn on the back, which can be optimally brushed and thus generates a
particularly high wearing comfort. 3-Thread-Fleece
