Comfort Classics
Hoodies and sweatshirts — where fleece weight and construction quietly decide the price.
Overview
Loopback, brushed and French terry fleece across the weight range that spans lightweight crewnecks to heavyweight pullover hoodies. Cotton-poly blends (commonly 80/20) are the standard commercial choice for shrink control and durability.

What buyers ask about comfort classics.
What's the difference between loopback and brushed fleece?
Loopback keeps its looped interior texture; brushed fleece is mechanically napped for a softer, fuzzier inner hand. Brushed is more common for hoodies, loopback for a cleaner, lighter sweatshirt.
Why do metal drawcord eyelets cost more?
Metal eyelets outlast moulded plastic ones under repeated pulling and washing, and they read as a more premium detail — a small cost with a visible payoff.
