Products Description
Soft Melange Fleece advantage:
Ask a buyer why a fleece sells and the answer is rarely about warmth. It is about how the cloth feels on the hand in the showroom, and whether the garment still looks like something after a season of wearing it. Soft Melange Fleece is aimed at that second test. It is double-sided and knitted in a 2x2 rib, which puts it closer to a double-knit than to a technical fleece: the structure holds its shape, a cut edge doesn't curl, and both faces are finished, so the inside of a coatigan or an open jacket looks as considered as the outside. In a market where the unlined, soft-shouldered cardigan has taken over from the blazer for a lot of buyers, that combination is the whole appeal. The hand is the other half. The 13% viscose in the blend takes the synthetic edge off the polyester, and the melange, colour built into the yarn rather than printed on top, gives the surface a depth that flat shades can't reach. It is why a quality like this sits near the top of a range instead of the middle, and why the same cloth sells in Tokyo and in Düsseldorf: two markets that price on touch, and agree on what feels expensive. At 300g/m² there is enough substance for a coatigan or an oversized jumper, and 185cm lets the body cut in one piece so the rib runs unbroken down the front.
1/ No lining, either way round. Both faces are finished, so the inside of an open-front garment is as good as the outside.
2/ It keeps its shape. A double-sided 2x2 rib doesn't curl at a cut edge, so unlined pieces stay flat.
3/ The touch is the product. 13% viscose is what makes it read as knitwear rather than technical fleece, and that is how it gets priced.
4/ An unbroken front. 185cm lets a body panel cut whole, with no centre-back seam to break the rib line.
The Direction of the Market
The knitwear market and the fleece market have been converging for several seasons, and the crossover garment is why: a soft, structured cardigan or coatigan that reads like wool but behaves like a knit. Cloth choice decides whether that works. Both faces of this 300g double-sided melange are finished, so an unlined front looks considered from the inside as well as the outside, and the viscose in the blend produces the wool-like hand the price point depends on. Structural stability at this weight also means the garment keeps its shoulder line, which is the detail consumers notice first in the fitting room. Extending the idea: a 250g version for spring, a lighter 2x2 for tops, and a brushed face for a softer look.

Germany and the Netherlands, where the cold season is long and fleece is everyday wear;
Scandinavia, where layering is a habit rather than a trend;
The UK and Ireland, strongest for loungewear and children's fleece;
Japan and Korea, where the hand and the colour carry the price point;
The United States and Canada, for hoodies and mid-layers in outdoor ranges;
Australia and New Zealand, ordering the same weight six months later.
Processing Recommendations
Soft Melange Fleece processing recommendations:
- Match the rib at the seams. A 2x2 line has to meet at the shoulder and the side seam, so mark it on the pattern and check the first sample.
- Keep one garment to one roll. In a melange, panels from two different rolls side by side can read as two tones.
- Lift, don't drag. A soft, lightly brushed face marks easily, so keep sharp metal and rough tables away from the face side.
- Cut the block closer. A stable double-sided rib doesn't need the ease a single-sided fleece does, so an unchanged size chart will come up loose.
- Finish the opening once. An unlined front needs only a clean band; there is no lining to plan for.
