Brushed Cotton Fabric

Does any one know where I could get brushed cotton fabric made in bulk to my designs? I was hoping to use someone in the UK if possible. TIA

you can find a seamstress that will make them for you from your sketches try googling for seamstresses other than that they also have tailors in most cities if you take the fabric and the measurments they will make them for you

I bought a skirt from ebay and found it extremely comfy, the washing instruction states that the fabric is brushed cotton. I tried to find more skirts made with brushed cotton on ebay and came across this 'moleskin' which is defined as 'a heavy-napped cotton twill fabric', so I wonder if it's just a fancier name for brushed cotton, or are they two different types of fabric but similar in texture? Please help, many thanks!

There are a number of fabrics called "moleskin", some of which are cotton and some not.

Traditional moleskin (as used in British outdoor trousers) is a closely woven heavy cotton and linen fustian with a napped surface, often created by brushing. Modern polyester "moleskin" is a brushed poly twill or a one sided velourish affair -- sometimes even knit velours are sold as "moleskin".

Brushed cotton is any cotton fabric from very lightweight to very heavyweight, that has been treated by brushing to produce a softer surface, usually just on one side. Cotton flannel, for instance, is a brushed cotton. So is brushed denim. I even have a piece of brushed batiste -- batiste is a lightweight plain weave cotton normally used for fine blouses, nightgowns and baby clothes.

So it's really best to inquire particulars of fabrics you want to consider for a project. Many of the traditional names of fabrics are mis-used all the time. I've been offered chambray (plain tabby weave) for denim (twill), pique and plisse for seersucker, an embossed organza for ottoman, etc. Sigh.

Soft fabric with nap or pile: a soft warm fabric with a brushed nap or woolly pile. Use: outer garments, lining.

Fleece fabric is predominantly made from 100% polyester. However, it can be blended with other materials such as spandex, cotton, wool, and rayon. (http://www.denverfabrics.com/pages/stati c/fleece/fleece-fabric.htm)

It works by trapping air within the structure of its material. This trapped air acts as a barrier or resistance to the transfer of heat, and thus keeps you warm.
