Types of Fleece Fabric: How Polar, Micro, Sherpa and Sweatshirt Fleece Differ

Fleece isn’t one material but a family of soft, lofty fabrics. What they share is a napped or pile surface that traps warm air, and what sets them apart is the fiber (usually polyester, sometimes a cotton blend, historically wool), how that surface is made, and how heavy the fabric is. That’s why the word can describe a warehouse crew’s plush jacket, a school’s spirit-wear hoodie and a velvety throw blanket, three things that feel nothing alike.

Types of Sweaters and Cardigans for Men and Women, by Neckline, Closure and Knit

Most people describe a sweater by one thing — “crewneck” or “cardigan” — without realizing those two words are answering completely different questions. One is about the neckline, the other is about how the front closes, and a single sweater can be both at once. This guide breaks sweaters and cardigans down by the three things that actually distinguish one from another: neckline, closure style, and knit pattern, since those categories overlap constantly rather than sitting in neat, separate boxes. What this guide covers: neckline styles, closure and front styles, knit patterns and textures, sweater
