Sherpa Jackets & Coats
Sherpa is the season's top-selling fabric for outerwear. Our wholesale sherpa styles include oversized open-front coats, cropped shackets, zip-up hoodies with sherpa lining, and color-block designs. Sherpa's signature fluffy, two-tone texture makes every piece a visual standout on the boutique floor — and online product photos convert at a higher rate than basic outerwear.

Fleece Sweatshirts & Hoodies
Fleece is lightweight, breathable, and easy to layer — making it a year-round customer favorite. Our wholesale fleece styles include classic pullover hoodies, half-zip pullovers, oversized crewneck sweatshirts, and color-blocked fleece sets. These pieces have broad customer appeal and strong repeat purchase rates, especially in cooler climates.

Teddy Bear Fabric Coats & Jackets
The teddy bear fabric trend shows no signs of slowing down. With its longer, fluffier fibers and ultra-plush texture, teddy fabric gives outerwear a luxe, high-end feel at an affordable wholesale price point. Our teddy coats and jackets come in neutral tones, bold colors, and two-tone designs — each one a potential bestseller for your fall/winter drop.

Velvet & Brushed Fabric Tops and Pants
Velvet adds instant elegance to any cold-weather collection. Our wholesale velvet styles include wide-leg pants, blazer sets, wrap tops, and midi skirts — all with that rich, smooth texture customers love for evening wear and holiday outfits. Brushed fabric pieces offer a similar warmth and softness at a more accessible price point, ideal for everyday casual styles.

Warm Knit Sweaters & Cardigans
Chunky knit sweaters and open-front cardigans round out a complete warm fabric collection. Our wholesale knit styles come in cable-knit, ribbed, and waffle textures — with silhouettes ranging from cropped pullovers to longline duster cardigans. These are staple reorder pieces for most boutiques from September through February.

Dear-Lover warm fabric wholesale prices start as low as $5.50 per piece, giving boutiques healthy retail markups of 2x to 4x. There is no strict minimum order on most in-stock styles, so you can test one piece before scaling. Pre-order styles unlock an additional 5% discount at 12 pieces or more.

US warehouse orders ship within 3–7 business days domestically. The China warehouse offers more color options and wider style availability at lower freight costs, shipping to 200+ countries worldwide.

❓ Q&A

Q: What is the warmest fabric for women's winter clothing?

A: The warmest fabrics for women's winter clothing are wool, fleece, sherpa, and teddy bear fabric. Wool — especially merino — is the warmest natural fiber because it traps air and regulates moisture. Among synthetic options, sherpa and high-pile fleece rank highest for insulation, with sherpa providing extra warmth due to its dense, fluffy fibers. Velvet and brushed fabrics also retain heat well and are popular for stylish cold-weather pieces. Dear-Lover's Warm Fabric Collection covers all of these fabric types in wholesale-ready styles.

Q: What is the difference between sherpa, fleece, and teddy bear fabric?

A: All three are soft synthetic fabrics, but they differ in texture and warmth level. Fleece has the tightest, smoothest weave — making it the most breathable and lightweight of the three, great for layering. Sherpa has slightly shorter, more compact fibers with a fleece backing, placing it between teddy and fleece for warmth and providing a fluffy sheepskin-like look. Teddy bear fabric has the longest, loosest fibers, giving it that iconic plush, stuffed-animal texture — though it may be slightly less wind-resistant than sherpa. For boutiques, all three sell extremely well during fall and winter seasons.

Q: Is sherpa or fleece better for a winter jacket?

A: It depends on the use case. Sherpa is better for maximum warmth and a fashion-forward, luxe look — ideal for coats, shackets, and outerwear. Fleece is better for lightweight layering, active wear, and everyday casual styles because it's more breathable and packable. For boutiques, stocking both gives you coverage across customer needs: sherpa for statement outerwear, fleece for versatile everyday basics. Dear-Lover carries wholesale styles in both fabrics, often at the same accessible price point.

Q: What warm fabric clothing styles sell best in boutiques during fall and winter?

A: The top-selling warm fabric styles in boutiques during fall/winter are: sherpa jackets and shackets, oversized fleece hoodies, teddy bear coats, velvet wide-leg pants, and chunky knit cardigans. Neutral tones (camel, cream, brown, gray) and rich jewel tones (burgundy, forest green, navy) tend to have the highest sell-through rates. Styles that photograph well — like sherpa and teddy coats — also perform strongly for boutiques selling on Instagram and TikTok Shop.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale warm fabric clothing?

A: At Dear-Lover, most in-stock warm fabric styles have no minimum order requirement, while accessories and pre-order items start at just 6–12 pieces. This low-barrier entry point makes Dear-Lover accessible for both first-time boutique owners and experienced wholesale buyers scaling up for the season.

Q: How do I care for sherpa and fleece clothing to keep it soft?

A: To keep sherpa and fleece clothing soft and long-lasting, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent — avoid fabric softener, as it can clog the fibers and reduce softness over time. Always air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting, as high heat can cause matting and pilling. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the surface texture. For teddy bear fabric, a soft bristle brush can restore fluffiness after washing. Sharing these care tips with your customers helps reduce returns and builds long-term brand trust.

Q: Can I dropship wholesale warm fabric clothing from Dear-Lover to my customers?

A: Yes. Dear-Lover supports dropshipping for verified wholesale account holders. Once your account is approved, you can place orders with your customer's shipping address, and Dear-Lover ships directly to them — no inventory storage required on your end. The US warehouse handles fast domestic US deliveries (3–7 business days), while the China warehouse serves international orders in 200+ countries. Dropshipping is especially popular among boutiques running online stores, Shopify shops, or selling through TikTok Shop and Instagram.
