Fleece fabric and method for producing the same
First Claim
1. A fabric having a first side and a second side, the fabric comprising weft yarns and warp yarns woven together in pattern, wherein at least some of the weft, or warp, yarns float over a plurality of warp yarns, or weft yarns, and below a plurality of warp yarns, or weft yarns, to provide weft, or warp, over portions on said first side and weft, or warp under portions on said second side,whereby at least one of said under portions and said over portions of the yarns form loops, wherein at least some of said yarns that form said loops are conjugate yarns comprising a plurality of filaments splittable into sub-filaments, and said loops of said conjugate yarns extend for a length of at least three adjacent warp, or weft, yarns.

Abstract
A fabric having a first side and a second side and comprising weft yarns and warp yarns woven together in pattern. At least some of the weft, or warp, yarns float over a number of warp yarns, or weft yarns, and below a number of warp yarns, or weft yarns, to provide weft, or warp, over portions on the first side and under portions on the second side. The under portions and/or over portions of the yarns form loops. At least some of the yarns that form the loops are conjugate yarns comprising a plurality of filaments that are separable, i.e., splittable into sub-filaments. The loops of the conjugate yarns extend for a length of at least three adjacent warp, or weft, yarns.

26. An article comprising a fabric having a first side and a second side, the fabric comprising weft yarns and warp yarns woven together in pattern, wherein at least some of the weft, or warp, yarns float over a plurality of warp yarns, or weft yarns, and below a plurality of warp yarns, or weft yarns, to provide weft, or warp, over portions on said first side and weft, or warp under portions on said second side,
wherein at least one of said under portions and said over portions of the yarns form loops and at least some of said yarns that form said loops are conjugate yarns comprising a plurality of filaments splittable into sub-filaments, and said loops of said conjugate yarns extend for a length of at least three adjacent warp, or weft, yarns, said article comprising a garment.
