Fleece Slacks?

I got some slacks recently at Saks Off 5th that are "100% Fleece". I've always thought of fleece as fuzzy stuff for jackets and such, but these just seem like regular slacks material. So I was wondering...

What exactly is this "fleece" stuff?

And what setting should I use to iron it?

What's the material - poly, wool, genuine herringbone...?

The label says "100% WV Fleece". They're made by Zanella in Italy, if that helps.

There should be a content label specifying the material.

I can't think what 'wv' is off-hand -- maybe genuine West Virginia?

I am monitoring this thread closely in the event of potential office application.

I'll check for additional labels denoting material when I get home... I shall also check for application labels to see if these may function as office pants or not.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I'll check back later to see what you find out.
