Double-Sided Fleece 280 GSM, 180 cm

A double-sided brushed fleece in 95% polyester and 5% spandex, 280 GSM on a 180 cm width. Both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile, so there is no wrong side — the cloth needs no lining and reads as plush from either direction. It is a hoodie cloth, a jacket cloth, a blanket cloth, a cosy outer layer.

Full specification

Customization	Available — shade, weight and width confirmed at quotation. The pile is piece-dyed, so a made-to-match is a standard poly dye.
Knitting technics	A double-sided brushed fleece. The cloth is a weft knit; after knitting both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile, so there is no smooth back and no wrong side. The 5% spandex is laid in at the needle and gives the cloth a little recovery so fitted edges relax back.
Composition	95% polyester, 5% spandex. Polyester is what makes the pile cheap, colourfast and easy-care; the 5% spandex gives the recovery a fitted edge wants.
Yarn	Polyester with a bare spandex laid in; counts are set at order.
Yarn count	Other
Weight	280 GSM / 8.3 oz/yd². A heavy warm weight — the substantial end of the fleece range, a finished cosy cloth on its own.
Width	180 cm / 71 inch. A wide fleece width, so the marker 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 rust brown; send the shade and we match it, not the chip.
Hand	Soft and warm on both faces from the brushed pile; the 5% spandex keeps the edge from bagging. A plush, slightly springy hand throughout.
Stretch & recovery	Opens roughly 30–40% across the width from the knit and the 5% spandex; recovery is light-to-moderate. Fine for easy fits, not a compressive hold.
Shrinkage	Under 3% — both fibres are heat-set synthetics.
Pilling	Grade 3–4. A brushed pile will surface-fuzz under hard abrasion; overlock the edges.
Fastness	Excellent wash and light fastness.
Making up	A ball-point or jersey needle, a slightly longer stitch so the pile does not trap; overlock the edges — a cut fleece edge will shed pills if left raw. Because both faces are plush, you can leave seams unlined and they still read finished.
Cutting	Lays and cuts like any fleece; a sharp blade, mark the grain off the wales. With no wrong side, layout is simpler — just watch the pile direction for an even sheen.
Pressing	Do not press the pile — steam it from the back or hang it. A hot shoe on either face flattens the plush and kills the hand.
Abrasion	Moderate; the pile is the wear surface and it surface-fuzzes before it holes. Fine for hoodies, jackets and blankets.
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	≈ 2.0 running metres per kg at 280 GSM × 180 cm (≈ US$ 6.32 per running metre, ≈ US$ 3.51 per m²). At the 1,000 kg+ price that is ≈ US$ 5.54 per running metre, ≈ US$ 3.08 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 cool to warm, mild detergent, tumble dry low or line dry; do not press the pile. Easy care.

Both sides are brushed

The defining thing about a double-sided fleece is that both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile. There is no smooth back and no wrong side, which is why this cloth needs no lining — a hoodie, a jacket or a blanket can be finished with the seams showing and still read as plush on every surface.

That also makes it the heaviest, warmest option in the fleece range: 280 GSM of double pile traps more air than a single-sided cloth of the same weight would. For a cosy outer layer it is the efficient choice — you get the warmth without adding a separate lining layer.

280 GSM is a heavy warm weight

Two hundred and eighty GSM is the substantial end of the fleece range — heavier than the single-sided 300 only in feel because the pile is on both faces. It is a finished cosy cloth on its own: a hoodie body, a jacket body, a blanket, a warm lining.

Spec it where you want maximum warmth without a lining step. For a lighter layer, the single-sided fleece does the job at less weight and cost; for a chunkier, wider cloth, the bulky warm fleece is the move.

95/5 polyester and spandex

Ninety-five percent polyester with 5% spandex is the same value equation as the rest of the fleece range: polyester keeps it cheap, colourfast and easy-care, and the 5% spandex gives fitted edges a little recovery so a cuff or a waistband relaxes back instead of bagging.

The honest limit is the fleece one: a brushed pile surface-fuzzes under hard abrasion and it does not love a hot iron on the face. Both are manageable — overlock the edges, steam from the back — and for the warmth-per-dollar it is the right cloth.

Three things that go wrong on a double-sided fleece. Pile: with no wrong side, watch the pile direction for an even sheen, and overlock the cut edges. Pressing: steam from the back, never a hot shoe on either face. Shade: match the rust brown to your trim, not to a chip.

The warm knits sit next to the Single-Sided Plush Fleece 300 GSM for a lighter option, and the Bulky Warm Fleece 256 GSM for a chunkier, wider cloth. The rest of the range is on the fabrics page.
