Product Overview
The 2786 Recycled super-lightweight jacket is a well-engineered outer layer that successfully bridges the gap between professional utility and environmental responsibility. Manufactured from 100% recycled polyester, this jacket offers a refined, cadet-style silhouette that is both functional and flattering. Its lightweight construction makes it an ideal choice for transitional weather or active environments where heavy outerwear would prove restrictive.
Designed with a focus on a clean aesthetic, the jacket features a concealed full-length zip with a storm guard and popper fastenings, ensuring a streamlined appearance while providing essential protection against the elements. The inclusion of decorative stitched panels is not merely aesthetic; these panels are strategically placed to frame custom branding, ensuring your company logo remains the focal point.
Key Features
- 100% Recycled Fabric: Both the outer bonded knit and the lining are crafted from recycled polyester, supporting your business's sustainability goals without compromising on garment performance.
- Concealed Zip with Storm Guard: The hidden zip mechanism maintains a professional look, while the storm guard provides an extra layer of defense against wind and light rain.
- Adjustable Cuffs: Elasticated cuffs paired with hook-and-loop fastenings allow the wearer to secure the sleeves comfortably, preventing heat loss and ensuring the garment doesn't interfere with manual tasks.
- Secure Storage: Concealed zipped pockets and an internal chest pocket provide ample space for essential tools or personal items, keeping them safe and accessible.
- Functional Hanging Loop: A small but essential detail for maintaining the jacket's shape and ensuring it can be stored neatly in a locker or on a site rail.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of this jacket is rooted in its bonded polyester knit construction. This lightweight fabric provides a surprising amount of durability and wind resistance for its weight. The interior is finished with a smooth recycled polyester lining, allowing the jacket to glide easily over mid-layers such as sweatshirts or polo shirts.
The garment is designed for movement. The 'back neck buggy' provides structural reinforcement in a high-wear area, while the stitched panel details ensure the jacket retains its shape even after repeated wear and industrial laundering. The removable zip pull adds a level of customisable detail rarely found in standard workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, thanks to the high-quality bonded fabric and the back neck buggy which facilitates easy decoration. At MyWorkwear, we understand that your brand identity is paramount. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this item; it creates a textured, high-end professional finish for breast logos or staff names that stands the test of time.
For larger, more vibrant graphics—perhaps a promotional back print—our high-specification printing techniques offer a crisp, bold result that remains flexible with the jacket's fabric. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
The versatile nature of the TS006 makes it suitable for a wide variety of sectors. It is an ideal choice for site managers and surveyors who require a professional appearance while moving between the office and the field. It also serves as an excellent uniform component for corporate events, delivery drivers, or staff working in temperature-controlled retail environments where a full-weight winter coat would be excessive.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed as a lightweight outer layer. If your team will be wearing heavy hoodies or thick fleeces underneath, you may wish to consider sizing up to ensure a comfortable fit. The size range accommodates chests from 38 to 50 inches, ensuring a consistent look across your entire workforce.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the recycled properties of this garment, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. Proper maintenance ensures the jacket remains a staple of your work wardrobe for a long time.
We recommend a machine wash at 30°C on a gentle setting. Using a lower temperature prevents the recycled polyester fibres from breaking down and helps preserve the vibrancy of your embroidered or printed logos. High-heat washes should be avoided as they can damage the bonded fabric layers.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, this jacket should not be tumble dried; the heat of a dryer can warp the zip and damage the internal lining. Instead, hang the garment to air dry naturally. If necessary, a low-temperature iron can be used, but please avoid ironing directly over any printed customisation to prevent the design from melting or peeling.
Dry cleaning is not recommended for this product, as the harsh chemical solvents used in the process can interfere with the recycled bonding agents in the fabric.
