French Terry vs Terry Cloth

French terry differs from the terry cloth that you recognize from your towels and robes. French terry is a smoother, softer fabric, though both French terry and terry cloth feature a similar soft pile. Terry cloth is also more absorbent than French terry, making it the perfect fabric to use when toweling dry.

| Maintaining french terry

French terry is a low-maintenance fabric that doesn’t wrinkle easily or need to be dry cleaned. French terry is machine washable, and if your French terry clothing is 100% cotton, they’ll release odors more easily in the wash, meaning your clothes won’t smell even after they come out of the dryer, like synthetics can.
