Cotton Fleece-Back Jersey 295 GSM, 165 cm

A 100% cotton loop-back (fleece-back) jersey, 295 GSM on a 165 cm width. The face is a smooth knit and the back carries the terry loops — the “毛圈” that give the cloth its body, its warmth and its classic sweatshirt hand. It is the heavy, warm, breathable cotton for hoodies, sweatshirts and joggers: a casual and athleisure staple.

Full specification

Customization	Available — shade and weight confirmed at quotation. A cotton loop-back dyes evenly, so a made-to-match is straightforward.
Knitting technics	A loop-back (fleece-back) jersey. The face is a smooth single jersey; the back is knitted with the terry loops — the “毛圈” — that give the cloth its body and warmth. The loops are knitted in, not brushed; they can be left as loop-back (French terry) or brushed into a fleece at finishing, confirmed at quotation.
Composition	100% cotton. No polyester, no spandex — which is exactly why it breathes and feels natural, and why it needs the cotton care (a little shrink, a little crease).
Yarn	Combed cotton; counts are set at order.
Yarn count	Other
Weight	295 GSM / 8.7 oz/yd². A heavy fleece — a hoodie, a sweatshirt, a jogger, not a lightweight tee.
Width	165 cm / 65 inch. A standard knit width; the loop-back lays efficiently.
Colour	Stock shades quoted by number (No.001–No.096), or dyed to match a swatch you supply. The quality is shown in a deep blue; send the shade and we match it, not the chip.
Hand	The face is smooth and cotton-soft; the back loops give a gently textured, warm hand. Left as loop-back it reads casual and breathable; brushed it reads plush and warm.
Loop back	The terry loops on the back are what make this a sweatshirt cloth rather than a plain jersey: they trap a layer of air for warmth and give the cloth its body and recovery-from-crush. The face stays smooth, so prints and seams sit clean on the outside.
Stretch & recovery	The knit’s own give, roughly 20–30% across the width, with low recovery and no spandex. The loops add a little bounce but this is a relaxed, not compressive, cloth.
Shrinkage	4–6% length and 3–4% width on the first wash (cotton), controlled by pre-shrink / sanforising at finishing where the fit is precise — important on a heavy fleece.
Pilling	Low for cotton, though the exposed back loops can surface-fuzz under hard abrasion; brushing the back reduces this.
Fastness	Good wash and light fastness; cotton is the dependable everyday choice.
Making up	A ball-point or jersey needle, a light tension; the loop back faces in. A coverstitch handles the hems and the neckline cleanly on a fleece.
Cutting	Lay loop-side down so the face is up; match the loop direction across the front. The 165 cm width is enough for most sweatshirt lays.
Pressing	Cotton takes heat and steam gladly; press the face, keep the back loops from flattening under a hot shoe.
Abrasion	Good for a casual outer layer; the cotton face wears well.
Origin	Shaoxing City, Zhejiang, China
MOQ	300 kg per shade.
Price	US$ 12.54 / kg (300–999 kg) · US$ 10.99 / kg (1,000 kg+)
Yield	≈ 2.1 running metres per kg at 295 GSM × 165 cm (≈ US$ 6.10 per running metre, ≈ US$ 3.70 per m²). At the 1,000 kg+ price that is ≈ US$ 5.35 per running metre, ≈ US$ 3.24 per m².
Lead time	Stock shades ship from the lot on hand; dyeing to match adds 7–10 days for the lab dip and your approval, plus bulk.
Packing	Roll-packed, about 20 kg per roll, poly bag inside a woven sack.
Sample	Hanger swatch and shade card free; a lab dip against your own cloth charged at cost and credited against the bulk order.
Documents	Invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin; test reports on request.
Care	Machine wash warm (40°C), mild detergent, line dry or tumble low; press with heat and steam. Cotton — expect a little first-wash shrink if not pre-shrunk; wash inside out to protect the face.

Loop-back is what makes it a sweatshirt cloth

The face of this cloth is a smooth knit, but the back carries the terry loops — the “毛圈” — and that is the whole point. The loops trap a layer of air, so the cloth has body and warmth without a lining, and it has the classic sweatshirt hand. They can be left as loop-back (French terry) or brushed into a fleece, confirmed at quotation.

For a buyer the read is simple: this is the hoodie-and-sweatshirt cloth, not a tee cloth. The smooth face means prints and seams sit clean on the outside while the loops do the warming work on the inside.

100% cotton, warm and breathable

One hundred percent cotton means the warmth comes with breathability and a natural hand, not the clammy plastic note of a poly fleece. It is the right cloth for casual and athleisure where the garment is worn for comfort, not performance.

The honest limits are the cotton ones: it is heavy (295 GSM), it creases, and it shrinks a little on first wash unless pre-shrunk. We sanforise where the fit is precise; the weight is the point, not a fault.

295 GSM is a heavy fleece

Two hundred and ninety-five GSM is the heavy end of the fleece range — a substantial cloth that is a finished outer layer on its own, not a base layer. With the cotton hand it reads as a premium casual sweatshirt rather than a thin fashion fleece.

And the 165 cm width is a standard knit width that lays efficiently. Spec it for hoodies, sweatshirts and joggers, and keep the lighter jerseys for tees and base layers.

Three things that go wrong on a cotton fleece-back jersey. Loop back: the loops are on the back, the face stays smooth — cut loop-side down and match the loop direction. Shrink: a little first-wash shrink on the cotton — pre-shrunk where the fit is precise. Heavy: 295 GSM is a warm outer layer, not a base layer.

The cotton cloths sit next to the Cotton Silver-Thread Jersey 200 GSM for a solid cotton top, and the Cotton Yarn-Dyed Check 120 GSM for a light shirting. The rest of the range is on the fabrics page.
