Durability of sweatshirt fabrics

Sweatshirt fabrics are made to withstand frequent use and washing. Thanks to their cotton and polyester blends, they maintain softness and shape even after repeated wear. Modern blends with recycled fibers make them an eco-friendly choice.

Composition

Most sweatshirt fabrics are made from cotton, polyester or a blend of both. Cotton adds softness and breathability, while polyester improves durability and reduces shrinkage. Some versions include elastane for stretch and extra comfort.

Sweatshirt fabrics are knitted, which makes them flexible and comfortable. The inside is often brushed (fleece) for warmth, while the outside remains smooth for easy finishing.
