As you know, “hoodies” (the older generation calls them sports jackets) are sewn from insulated knitted materials, which include wool, synthetics and cotton in different proportions.
The most common and attractively priced knitted fabric suitable for sewing sweatshirt jackets is, of course, fleece.
Fleece
By the way, fleece can be of different density and thickness, which depends on the size of the pile and the thickness of the fleece. However, the fleece may not be. Fleece is a synthetic material, it is made from polyester. But, despite the synthetic origin, it holds heat well. And another indisputable advantage of this material is the simplicity of its processing (tailoring) and care. Fleece is very easy to wash and practically does not wrinkle. And the only drawback is that the pile quickly rolls.
Footer
Relatively recently, a footer appeared in fabric stores. It is also a knitted fabric, knitted from cotton and polyester, or viscose and lycra. The footer has a smooth surface on one side, and a combed or looped pile on the other side. This material, one might say, is traditional for sweatshirts and tracksuits, but it has not been sold in retail before. And, only with the advent of modern household sewing equipment, we owe the fact that the footer got into home sewing workshops.
Velsoft
And the most fashionable in the range of fabrics from which sweatshirts are sewn today is, perhaps, velsoft. This jersey is quite high and has a large pile. Now, in addition to children's and "dressing gown", velsoft with a fashionable male pattern has appeared in the assortment of fabric stores. Pay attention to it.
In addition, you may need knitted cuffs to process the bottom of the product and sleeves. They are also sold from fabric stores, however, the range of cuffs is not too wide.
Do not forget to immediately purchase a zipper. Detachable and matching color. Its length should be equal to the length of the product along the front. Estimate the "lightning" on yourself, so as not to be mistaken.
And lastly, a cord for drawstrings, if they are provided for by the style. Of course, you can pick up accessories for the cord (tips and limiters).
