About Frieze
Frieze is a type of pile-napped fabric that features a brushed or napped finish, resulting in a soft, fuzzy texture. Typically made from wool, this fabric is known for its warmth and durability, making it ideal for outerwear and upholstery. The napping process raises the fibers, creating a plush surface that enhances insulation and provides a luxurious hand feel. Frieze is often used in coats, jackets, and heavy-duty upholstery due to its resilience and ability to withstand wear.
