Sweater Fleece

Sweater fleece is Quince's signature construction that bridges between sweater drape and fleece warmth. The fabric reads more refined than traditional brushed fleece — with a closer-to-knit appearance, softer hand, and often a heathered color finish — while delivering fleece's warmth and stretch. Best for shoppers who want fleece warmth in a more refined casual aesthetic that pairs across casual-elevated contexts.

Regular fleece — smooth brushed fabric with a uniform texture and matte finish. Reads athletic-casual; pairs across active and casual contexts. Sweater fleece — densely knit construction with a slight texture and often heathered color. Reads more refined; pairs across casual-elevated contexts. Sweater fleece bridges between athletic fleece and traditional sweaters, sitting in the casual-elevated middle ground.

Sweater fleece — casual-elevated wear where warmth, stretch, and easy care matter. Best for shoppers who want sweater-like aesthetic with fleece's machine-wash convenience. Sweaters (cashmere, merino, wool) — formal-casual and dressier wear where the natural-fiber drape and refined construction matter most. Sweater fleece is the everyday casual-elevated pick; natural-fiber sweaters are the dressier or warmer wear.

Machine wash cool with no fabric softener (softener coats fleece fibers and reduces softness). Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat — sweater fleece fibers degrade faster under hot dryers. Wash with similar colors for the first few washes. Avoid bleach. The sweater fleece holds shape across many wash cycles when cared for this way.
