Peached
Treatment — one of 37 in the glossary
A light sanding or chemical abrasion of the fabric face that lifts a very fine nap, softer and shallower than a full sueded finish. The result is a dry, matte, skin-like hand that reads as expensive, common on retail-fit tees and performance wovens. Because the nap is shallow the print surface stays reasonably flat, so peached fabric decorates better than heavily sueded goods. As with any napped finish, keep heat-press dwell short — crushing the nap leaves a permanent shiny rectangle around the transfer.
