The root

Where french terry comes from

French terry keeps the loops of towelling on the inside and a clean knit face on the outside — the loops give softness and absorbency while the face stays smooth and refined.

Left unbrushed, it breathes far better than fleece, which is why it works nearly year-round. A little elastane keeps cuffs and waistbands honest over time.
