Tag says Sherpa 100% Polyester Blue, Tan --- Sherpa vs Fleece: Key Points Here’s a quick overview of the key characteristics associated with each of these fabrics. We’ll compare sherpa and fleece in more detail later; this is to give you a general idea of what you can expect from these fabrics! Warmth: While it is very warm, sherpa fabric mostly gets used as a lining inside other fabrics. It does a great job trapping heat in its soft, faux-wool nap. Fleece fabric is incredibly warm. Depending on its weight and thickness, it can serve as a coat on its own. Thickness: One of the biggest differences between these two materials is their distinct levels of thickness. You can buy fleece in varying weights and thicknesses, from lightweight, slightly scratchy microfleece to thick, blanket-like polar fleece. Sherpa fabric is usually a light knit with a fuzzy velvet pile on the other side and is not particularly thick. Softness: This is another discrepancy between the two fabrics. Sherpa fabric is almost always softer than other kinds of fleece.
