Sometimes, a few million years of natural selection gets it right the first time. Indeed, while the industry largely relies on polyester for fleece items, we’re proud of the natural, completely recycled wool fleece we use in our Woolaroo products that's breathable, odor-resistant, and quick-drying. We had to have this in a vest, so we took the Woolaroo’s renowned natural softness and warmth, chopped the arms off, and gave it some added freedom of movement for the handsome, new Woolaroo Vest. But what else would you expect from us? Sorted, recycled, spun, and woven in Italy, our partner Manteco created a plush fabric that is made completely of recycled wool, helping to divert pre- and post-consumer virgin wool textiles from landfills, putting this valuable fiber back into circulation. The color in this garment is made from combining recycled pre- and post-consumer waste, which helps to spare the use of any additional water or dyestuffs. Unlined with bound seams throughout.

A knit whose back, or both sides, is brushed until the fibers stand up and trap warm air. Cotton fleece is sweatshirt fabric and polyester fleece is the outdoor kind.
It's warm and soft. Brushing takes away some of a knit's give, so most of the stretch in a fleece comes from elastane in the blend. Brushed synthetic fleece sheds more fibers in the wash than a flat knit of the same fiber, and it can pill.
