Since antron fleece is hard to come by in your average, run-of-the-mill fabric shop, I would recommend giving polar fleece a try; it's not nearly as fuzzy as antron, but it is significantly fuzzier than ordinary polyester fleece, and it does a pretty good job at hiding seams.

I managed to get some in the color I wanted when I began work on Steve D'Monster's new gf Bethany, and I've been very pleased with the results.

Just buy plenty of it. I have never been able to find two bolts of polar fleece that were exactly the same color.

Not fleece but...

Terry Cloth (Towel Material) also is good for hiding seams. It isn't fleece but is a good alternative.

I like the fleece with a little texture to it. and i know it's not fleece but I love working with fur! If you hand sew it, you get no seams and it's lovely!
