A friend of mine makes polar fleece coolers & blanket liners. She
has found that the material stretches at any stress point (where
straps attach, at the neck, etc.). If you make something using polar
fleece, be sure to reinforce these areas.

I got one of her prototype liners - the neck hole opened up half way
down his back by the end of the season from all of the stretching.
Needless to say, there was a design change! Polar fleece definitely
eliminated the shoulder rubs he used to get from wearing a blanket so
much after clipping.
