Fleeces become a must-have item of clothing that everyone should have in their wardrobe either for outdoor activities or daily usage.
If you wonder the history behind of the invention of Polyester Fleece Fabrics , Keep reading ...
Synthetic (man-made) fleece was first created by a parent company of "Polartec" called
“Malden Mills” which was famous for its woollen workmen’s sweaters at that time.
Aaron Feuerstein ,owner of the company, had foreseen the end of the workman’s sweater and invested in the development of a new fabric that launched in 1981.
He called the fabric
"Polarfleece” and registered it with a patent under the brand name
"Polartec Climate Control Fabrics” and it was named one of the
“20th Century’s Greatest Inventions” by Time Magazine and said that synthetic fleece would revolutionize how we dress to go outside.
Patagonia’s Synchilla ( fleece jacket model) was the first to use the new Polartec fabric and became an excellent alternative to the traditional wool, down, or cotton layers that dominated mountaineering clothing in the decades before.
Its quick drying, packable,lightweight and providing great insulation properties made it quickly to be a new trend into the world beyond the mountaineering community.
The outdoor industry is continually trying to improve and expand their fleece ranges as they become a must-have item for all of us. Nowadays , synthetic fleece fabrics are widely produced by multiple companies in all around the world .
Sivugin Clothing’s Fleece Range is also made from 100 % Polyester Fleece Fabrics and like all our fabrics , our fleece range’s fabrics are also Oeko-Tex Standart 100 Certificated and all the neccessary tests for the final
usage are done by us.
