TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Brushed-back Three-thread Fleece
| Weight | 300–400 g/m² |
|---|---|
| Composition | Polyester-led (ground + fleece + binder); the back is brushed. Cotton-PES versions are also common. |
| Knit type | Brushed-back three-thread fleece · Three-thread Fleece |
| Use class | Outer / structured |
| Stretch | No stretch |
| Knit | After knitting, the back fleece-yarn (third yarn) floats are raised by brushing; the jersey face is kept. |
| Hand | Plush, soft and warm back; matte, full face; thicker and softer than unbrushed. |
| Typical use | Winter hoodies/sweatshirts · heavy joggers · fleece-lined comfortwear |
| Strength | The brushed back delivers the most warmth and softness — the family’s warmest, plushest option. |
| Watch for | Brushing raises pilling and nap-loss risk over time; the napped back can lengthen drying time. |

Typical technical ranges
| Weight tolerance | Typically ±5% (on heavy/brushed three-thread lots ±5–8% may be seen in practice; locked at sample approval) |
|---|---|
| Width | Open width typ. ~170–200 cm; tubular ~80–100 cm (depends on machine diameter/needle count + brushing and compacting take-up; final width confirmed by sample) |
| Shrinkage (wash) | After wash typ. length/width −4% to −7% (with heat-set + compacting can be brought to −3 to −5%; brushed/laid-in yarn slightly more movement in length; ±0.5 pt sample variance is normal) |
| Color fastness | Typical (min) — wash 4–5, rubbing dry 4–5 / wet 2–3 (deep/bright shades down to 2), light 4–5; perspiration (acid/alkaline) 4–5. Brushed pile face makes wet rub the critical weak point — confirmed by shade/recipe |
| Abrasion / pilling | Pilling typ. grade 2–3 on raw/brushed face (3–4 with anti-pilling yarn/finish); Martindale abrasion for structural integrity typ. >20,000 cycles. For three-thread the critical QC field is pilling — not Martindale |
| Gauge / yarn | Typical machine gauge E16–E22 (sporty/heavy body E16–E18, finer face E20–E22); body/loop yarn typ. ~150–300 denier, binder finer — denier confirmed by machine and target weight |
These ranges are industry-TYPICAL / indicative values based on construction and fiber, not Fersan's binding QC measurements. Exact values are confirmed per order, approved sample and lot-based QC report.
