Sweatshirt fleece. Love the stuff. You can actually sew it. I think it's coming back.
I saw a posting in a Babylock serger group complaining about the thickness of the "fleece" They were told to pound the seams.
When it comes to fleece to make clothes, Polar does a thinner fleece that is fairly decent to work with. Not like the normal no-sew junk Joann and Hancock sells. Polar is more expensive.
Now bring back the old robe velour.
