Charles River Apparel Fleece Jackets – Top Three Best Sellers!

As has always been the case, and identified “need” is usually the catalyst for ingenuity and creativity. Specific to the creation of fleece, the original need was to produce a fabric that could replace wool and its excellent insulating properties, while eliminating the drawbacks of wool, such as its heavyweight, its poor performance when wet, and that fact that it had to be obtained from animals, of which supply and demand issues were and would become more evident. So, around 1980 Malden Mills, a synthetic fabric manufacturer, used petroleum to create a synthetic polyester fabric that was spun and woven into a light fabric that replicated the insulating properties of wool, brushed out the fibers to increase the fabrics volume and fleece was born. And the fiber used in creating a fleece jacket is 100% fleece that is lightweight, an excellent insulator for warmth by trapping your own body’s heat, is breathable as a lighter fabric fleece, and is somewhat hydrophobic and therefore does well in light rain (but is not waterproof). And yes, style is always a consideration today and for that reason, Charles River Apparel fleece jackets include multiple styles that come in multiple colors for men, women, boys and girls, with each fleece jacket yielding its own unique look and feel for individual preference and protection from cooler temperatures.
