THE FABRIC
French terry is a type of knit fabric that has loops on the inside. It’s a fabric mostly used in casual clothing garments like pullovers, hoodies, dresses, and sweatpants or shorts. It’s a midweight fabric that is heavier than a standard t-shirt fabric, but lighter than our soft sweat fabric. Plus it drapes a bit more so your garments will fall nicely against the body. Ideal for when you’re working from home or if you want to be comfortable at home.
Another name for French terry is summer sweat. It’s ideal for all seasons. In winter you can layer with undergarments, and in spring, summer, and autumn this type of fabric is cool enough to wear during days that are a bit chilly or in the evening when the sun is down.
