Septunio : french terry? i work in a clothing store and thats the fabri we use...looks like towelling on the inside but not on the outside

irishlad... : Jersey knit cotton or Nylon. Velour would also work- but it is kinda tacky- terry cloth is always in- since Juicy carry's it. I was in clothing and design for 5 years- if you need any advice on anything just ask me! Hope this helps.

Linda S(on vacation) : Sweatshirt fleece. Not to be confused with volume fleece, an interlining, or polar fleece a specialty outdoor fabric. it's also called jersey fleece, look for polyester/cotton fleece. It's far more durable, it's machine washable and dryable, and it doesn't shrink or stretch out of shape. If you can't find a blend, then go for pure cotton and wash the yardage before sewing or make the garments large then wash after making to shrink them down. There's also interlock jersey, which is smooth on both sides like a t-shirt; but most better quality jackets and hoodies are made with sweatshirt fleece.

Express : Fleece or Nylon maybe.

bud the hippie : fleece
