Frequently Asked Questions - French Terry Hoodies
p>French terry is a knit fabric that features a smooth outer surface and soft looped threads on the inside. This construction makes it lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, while still providing a small amount of warmth. Unlike fleece, French terry does not have a thick, fuzzy lining, which allows it to feel lighter and more flexible.

Because of its balance of softness and breathability, French terry is commonly used in hoodies, sweatshirts, and athleisure apparel designed for everyday and year-round wear.

The most noticeable difference is on the inside. French terry hoodies do not have the thick, fuzzy fleece lining found in standard hoodies. Instead, they feature a smooth exterior with soft looped fabric inside.

When comparing similar weights, such as a 10oz French terry hoodie versus a 10oz fleece hoodie, French terry will feel lighter, less bulky, and slightly cooler. This makes it easier to move in and more comfortable for all-day wear.

Overall, French terry hoodies are ideal if you want light warmth without extra bulk, while standard fleece hoodies are better suited for colder weather and maximum insulation.

The short answer: it depends. French terry sweatshirts come in a variety of weights, ranging from lightweight to heavyweight, so warmth depends on the style you choose. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

Lightweight: Typically between 4 oz and 8 oz, lightweight French terry sweatshirts are not designed for heavy warmth. Think of them as a thicker long-sleeve t-shirt. They’re perfect for summer evenings, indoor wear, and light layering.

Midweight: Usually between 8 oz and 10 oz, midweight French terry offers moderate warmth and is ideal for fall weather and mild winter days. These work well for both indoor and outdoor use.

Heavyweight: Anything over 10 oz is considered heavyweight French terry. While warmer and more durable, it is still lighter and less bulky than traditional fleece. If you want warmth without feeling overheated or restricted, heavyweight French terry is a great option—especially for cooler climates.

No! Its quite the opposite, actually. French terry hoodies typically have a smooth outer surface and resist excessive pilling, which helps create cleaner, sharper looking prints.

Because most of the texture is on the inside of the garment, your logo or design is applied to a flatter exterior surface, resulting in more consistent ink coverage and a more professional finish.
