There's a reason French terry has quietly become the fabric of choice for people who want warmth without bulk. It's a knit, not a woven - soft and slightly looped on the inside, smooth on the outside - which gives it more stretch and breathability than a traditional fleece, without losing any of the weight that makes it feel substantial.
Our French Terry range is built on exactly that: a heavyweight cotton french terry fabric, cut into a small edit of considered pieces designed to layer easily and wear well beyond one season.
What Is French Terry Fabric?
French terry is a cotton knit with looped, uncut loops on the reverse side - different from fleece, which is brushed and cut for a fuzzy finish. That construction gives french terry cotton more structure and less bulk, so it holds its shape without feeling heavy. It's breathable enough for in-between weather, warm enough to hold its own once the temperature drops.
The Range
Our french terry pieces are designed to work as a system - mix and match, or wear as a set:
- French Terry Womens Mid-length Boxy Top - a relaxed, mid-length boxy silhouette in heavyweight terry.
- French Terry Oversized Boxy Top - the same considered boxy shape, dropped into a fully oversized fit.
- French Terry Womens Full Zip Jacket - a zip-through layer for pulling on and off without disturbing whatever's underneath.
- French Terry Unisex Bomber Jacket - a structured bomber silhouette, cut for anyone.
- French Terry Womens Wide Leg Pants - a wide leg trouser in the same heavyweight fabric, built to pair with any of the tops above.
- French Terry Unisex Oversized Boxy Top - our original oversized boxy top, in a fully unisex fit.
Why French Terry Over Fleece
If you've ever wondered about french terry vs fleece: fleece is warmer and fuzzier, french terry is lighter and more breathable. French terry is the better pick for anyone who runs warm, layers often, or wants a heavyweight piece that doesn't feel like a doona.
