What is French Terry fabric?
French Terry is a knit commonly identified by a smoother outer face and visible loops on the back. Buyers still need to confirm the actual composition, weight, usable width and finishing route on the selected sample.
How is French Terry different from terry cloth?
French Terry usually refers to an apparel knit with a smooth face and looped back. Terry cloth is a broader term that can include different looped constructions, including fabrics selected for more absorbent applications.
How should buyers compare French Terry and fleece?
French Terry keeps a visible looped back, while fleece commonly uses a raised or brushed surface. The better choice depends on garment use, warmth, weight, handfeel, season and the approved sample rather than the name alone.
