Sherpa

Definition

A plush knitted fabric with a deep, curly pile designed to mimic sheepskin. Sherpa typically weighs 300-450 gsm and is used as a lining material in jackets, hoodies, and outerwear or as the primary face fabric in sherpa pullovers. Its high loft traps air efficiently, making it one of the warmest fabric options available for winter collections.
