Hacci sweater fleece fabric is a knitted fabric that combines a sweater-like surface texture with a soft brushed or fleece-backed inner side. It is commonly used for women’s cardigans, sweater jackets, casual coats, warm pullovers, loungewear, and fall/winter layering garments.
In the fabric market, “Hacci” is often used to describe a soft sweater knit with a slightly open, loopy, or textured appearance. When this sweater-like surface is combined with brushing or bonding, the fabric becomes more suitable for warm casualwear and outerwear-style garments.
For apparel brands and garment manufacturers, Hacci sweater fleece offers a good balance between visual texture, comfort, warmth, and production efficiency.
Hacci Fabric vs Hacci Sweater Fleece
Hacci fabric usually refers to a sweater knit fabric with a soft, textured surface. It may be lightweight, drapey, and suitable for tops, dresses, cardigans, and loungewear.
Hacci sweater fleece is more specific. It keeps the sweater-like face texture but adds warmth through brushing or backing construction.
The main difference is:
| Fabric Type | Main Feature | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Hacci fabric | Sweater-like knit texture | Tops, dresses, cardigans, loungewear |
| Brushed Hacci sweater fleece | Sweater face with soft brushed back | Cardigans, pullovers, casual jackets |
| Bonded Hacci sweater fleece | Sweater face bonded with sherpa or fleece backing | Warm jackets, casual coats, winter layering |
This is why buyers should not judge the fabric only by the word “Hacci.” The final fabric performance depends on the yarn, knitting gauge, GSM, brushing, bonding, and finishing process.
Our Main Hacci Sweater Fleece Fabric Types
At Fudora Textile, we mainly develop coarse-gauge single-side sweater fleece fabrics for apparel production. Based on garment requirements, we usually divide this fabric into two main types: brushed Hacci sweater fleece and bonded Hacci sweater fleece.
Brushed Hacci Sweater Fleece
Brushed Hacci sweater fleece has a coarse-gauge sweater-like surface and a soft brushed back side. The brushing process improves the hand feel and warmth while keeping the fabric flexible and comfortable.
This type is suitable for:
- Women’s cardigans
- Casual pullovers
- Light sweater jackets
- Lounge tops
- Fall and winter layering pieces
- Warm casualwear
For brands that want a soft hand feel, visible knit texture, and moderate warmth, brushed Hacci sweater fleece is usually a practical choice.
Common custom options include GSM, composition, surface texture, color, brushing level, and anti-pilling finishing.
Bonded Hacci Sweater Fleece
Bonded Hacci sweater fleece is made by bonding the Hacci-style outer fabric with another backing layer, such as sherpa fleece, polar fleece, or other warm lining fabrics.
Compared with brushed Hacci, bonded Hacci sweater fleece is usually thicker, heavier, and warmer. It is more suitable for outerwear-style garments that need better structure and insulation.
This type is suitable for:
- Sweater jackets
- Casual coats
- Sherpa-lined jackets
- Winter cardigans
- Warm women’s outerwear
- Heavy casual layering garments
For buyers developing warmer fall/winter programs, bonded Hacci sweater fleece can provide a sweater-look surface and a more substantial inner layer.
Common Custom Specifications
Hacci sweater fleece fabric can be developed according to garment style, target price, warmth level, and production requirements.
| Item | Custom Options |
|---|---|
| Fabric construction | Coarse-gauge sweater fleece, brushed Hacci, bonded Hacci |
| Back side | Brushed back, unbrushed back, sherpa bonded, polar fleece bonded |
| Weight | Around 240–320 GSM for brushed styles; around 320–450 GSM or higher for bonded styles |
| Width | Usually around 155–175 cm, depending on construction |
| Composition | Polyester, rayon/viscose, cotton, spandex, recycled polyester blends |

| Finishing | Brushing, soft finish, anti-pilling, color matching, bonding |
| Testing | Pilling, shrinkage, color fastness, bonding strength, and other third-party tests if required |
The final specification should be confirmed by sample development, because the same fabric name may have very different hand feel, thickness, stretch, and warmth.
How to Choose Between Brushed and Bonded Hacci Sweater Fleece
If the garment needs softness, drape, and moderate warmth, brushed Hacci sweater fleece is usually enough. It is easier to use for cardigans, pullovers, tops, and casual layering pieces.
If the garment needs stronger warmth, more body, or an outerwear-style structure, bonded Hacci sweater fleece is usually a better choice. The bonded backing can improve thickness and insulation, making it suitable for jackets and casual coats.
A simple selection guide:
| Garment Style | Recommended Fabric |
|---|---|
| Women’s cardigan | Brushed Hacci sweater fleece |
| Warm pullover | Brushed or medium-weight Hacci sweater fleece |
| Casual sweater jacket | Brushed or bonded Hacci sweater fleece |
| Sherpa-lined jacket | Bonded Hacci sweater fleece |
| Winter casual coat | Bonded Hacci sweater fleece |
| Loungewear top | Softer brushed Hacci fabric |
What Buyers Should Confirm Before Bulk Production
Before ordering Hacci sweater fleece fabric, buyers should confirm the following details:
- Surface texture
Confirm whether the face side should be fine Hacci texture, coarse-gauge sweater texture, melange look, or yarn-dyed effect. - Backing requirement
Decide whether the fabric needs brushed back, unbrushed back, sherpa bonding, polar fleece bonding, or another backing layer. - GSM and thickness
Brushed styles are usually lighter and softer. Bonded styles are usually heavier and warmer. - Stretch and recovery
If the garment needs comfort and movement, stretch direction and recovery should be checked before bulk production. - Pilling performance
Sweater-like surfaces and brushed backs may require anti-pilling finishing, especially for garments designed for repeated wear. - Color matching
For brand programs, lab dips and shade control are important before bulk dyeing or production. - Bulk stability
Width, GSM, hand feel, brushing level, bonding strength, and shade consistency should be checked before cutting.
