Unbrushed Three-thread Fleece

Weight280–360 g/m²
CompositionPolyester-led (ground + fleece + binder); the back is unbrushed (raw fleece-float texture).
Knit typeUnbrushed three-thread fleece · Three-thread Fleece
Use classOuter / structured
StretchNo stretch
KnitThe three-thread structure left unbrushed; jersey face, a flat napless fleece-float texture on the back.
HandFlat, napless back; drier and less plush than brushed, slightly lighter hand; matte-full face.
Typical useMid-season sweatshirts/hoodies · lighter joggers · spring-autumn daily
StrengthIts napless flat back gives low pilling and a clean inner look — balanced for mid-season.
Watch forBeing unbrushed it warms less; the back looks more bare and won’t match brushed plushness.

Typical technical ranges

Weight toleranceTypically ±5% (on heavy/brushed three-thread lots ±5–8% may be seen in practice; locked at sample approval)
WidthOpen 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 fastnessTypical (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 / pillingPilling 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 / yarnTypical 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.
