Fleece children's clothes are very popular among children and their parents. This light and warm fabric is ideal for children's trousers, blouses, jackets and hats. Although this material is of artificial origin, it has good heat conservation and moisture removal. In addition, it is hypoallergenic, so it is an excellent replacement for natural wool products.
