Fleecelined

Fleecelined is an adjective used to describe an item, typically clothing or accessories, that has a layer of fleece fabric on the interior. The fleece is usually a synthetic pile fabric such as polyester fleece, though some items may use natural wool fleece or blends. The lining is cut and stitched to the outer material to create a warm, soft interior that helps trap heat while remaining relatively lightweight. Fleecelined products are common in outerwear—jackets, coats, vests—as well as boots, gloves, hats, and slippers, and can also appear in bedding and baby products.

Construction and variants: The fleece lining is typically brushed to raise the nap, increasing softness and warmth. It can range in thickness from a thin microfleece to a heavier polar fleece. Some fleecelined items feature a secondary outer lining or a waterproof shell to improve wind and water resistance. Marketed terms such as fleecelined, fleece-lined, or fleece-insulated are often used interchangeably.

Advantages and considerations: The main advantage is warmth with low bulk, plus softness and quick-drying properties. Fleece liners can wick moisture away from the skin and dry quickly; they may be less windproof than a tight shell unless paired with a windproof outer layer. Pilling and wear can occur with repeated washing; quality depends on fabric weight and construction.

Care: Most fleecelined items are machine washable. Use cold or warm water, mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce wicking and softness; tumble dry on low or air dry; do not iron.
