Fleece vs. French Terry vs. Jacquard Knit - What's the difference?

Shopping for clothing online can be exhausting , especially when trying to understand the texture and feel of different fabrics by relying on images and videos only. At Paimon's Boutique, our commitment to quality, comfort, and style is reflected in our fabric choices. We carefully select materials that meet our high standards to make you feel good. Today, we want to make shopping online easier for you by explaining the differences between three of our favourite fabrics: fleece, French terry, and jacquard knit

What is fleece?

Our fleece Genshin Impact sweaters are either purely cotton or a poly-cotton blend with a majority of cotton. Fleece fabric is a tightly knitted fabric which has a soft inside plush texture that's great for keeping you warm. Most hoodies and sweaters on the market are made of fleece. You may find different textures of fleece.

Why do we like fleece?

Warmth: Fleece keeps us warm by retaining heat!
Thickness:  Fleece also comes in a variety of thickness, making it versatile for the different seasons. Since it is thicker than French terry, it's easier to embroider.
Softness: As mentionned previously, fleece is very soft on the skin.
Breathable: The cotton in our fleece sweaters makes it breathable and comfortable for extended periods.
Easy care: Fleece is easy to care for and maintains its softness and shape after washing. Our fleece sweaters are purchased pre-shrunk, therefore they shouln't shrink too much after washing despite their high cotton percentage.

What is French terry?

Our French terry Genshin Impact hoodies are made from 100% cotton fabric, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style and a thinner option than fleece. French terry is looped on one side, leaving a smooth and soft surface on the loopless side.

Why do we like French terry?

Comfort: French terry is the perfect fabric for summer nights and loungewear. Long sleeves won't be too warm with this material, but it will keep you at an agreeable temperature.
Weight: We love French terry for its lightweight properties. It gives you a completely different fit and style.
Durability: This type of fabric is extremely durable and can withstand dense embroidery designs despite its lightweight. It is said that this material is even more durable than fleece.

What is jacquard knit?

Our jacquard knit sweaters are also 100% cotton, making them super breathable too! This type of fabric is more customizable and suppliers will often offer a lower minimum order quantity for fully customized patterns than fleece or french terry suppliers. Jacquard is made using a special machine to create raised motifs in fabric. With this material, possibilities are endless! In all the materials we use, this one is our favorite for this reason.

Why do we like jacquard knit?

Complexity & customization: Jacquard knit allows us to implement customized detailed patterns directly onto the fabric at a large scale.
Versatility: Jacquard knit is versatile and can be used to create a variety of styles from dresses to shorts or outerwear. 
Depth: Different types of knitting techniques are used which all add a unique texture and depth to our products, enhancing the visual and tactile experience.

At Paimon's Boutique, we carefully select fabrics that align with our values of quality, comfort, and style to provide you with the best fanmade merchandise. Our fleece, French terry, and jacquard knit fabrics each offer unique benefits, catering to different needs and preferences. You can make informed choices by understanding the differences between these fabrics and find the perfect piece to suit your style and comfort needs.
