Product Overview & Key Features
Cotton French terry fabric is a medium- to heavyweight knitted fabric featuring a smooth jersey face and a looped terry back. Based on the product specifications shown in the source material, this fabric is commonly produced in 100% cotton with 32s combed yarn for improved softness and surface quality. Typical fabric weights range from 280 to 420 GSM, making it suitable for sweatshirts, hoodies and casual outerwear.
The cotton-rich construction provides excellent breathability, moisture absorption and wearing comfort, while the terry loop back helps retain warmth without making the garment overly heavy. Compared with fleece-backed fabrics, French terry offers a lighter and more breathable feel, making it ideal for transitional-season garments. The fabric is also compatible with garment dyeing, printing and brushing finishes, allowing manufacturers to develop a wide range of fashion and sportswear styles.
