Fleece hoodies
Fleece sweatshirts appeared in our wardrobe not so long ago - in the 80s of the last century. At first they were used exclusively as an element of sportswear, but thanks to their convenience and practicality, they quickly became an integral part of everyday wear.
Benefits of fleece sweatshirts
Fleece is a knitted fabric of synthetic origin, created for sewing warm clothes.
Fleece owes its extraordinary popularity to the following advantages:
- Light weight. The fleece sweatshirt weighs significantly less than its counterparts made from other warm materials.

- Elasticity. Despite the fact that fleece sweatshirts have, as a rule, a straight, loose fit, this material keeps its shape perfectly, which makes it possible to use it for creating clothes with more complex cuts.
- Easy to care for. Fleece sweatshirt is easy to wash and dries quickly. It has a fairly high strength and durability.
- Hypoallergenic material. The fleece sweatshirt does not cause redness or irritation of the skin, it is very soft and pleasant to the touch.
