Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Classic 80/20 elasticated sweatpants are an essential component of a practical and professional workwear wardrobe. Designed to offer a balance of comfort and utility, these trousers provide a versatile solution for businesses looking for high-quality loungewear or active work attire. The inclusion of a 100% cotton face is a significant technical advantage, providing a smooth, high-density surface that is particularly well-suited for intricate customisation.
Key Features
- The elasticated waist with a self-coloured drawcord ensures a secure and adjustable fit, accommodating various body types while maintaining comfort during long shifts.
- Deep side pockets provide essential storage for personal items or small tools, adding a level of practicality required in a work environment.
- Elasticated cuffs create a tapered finish that prevents the fabric from trailing or interfering with footwear, while also helping to retain heat.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial medium-weight fabric, these sweatpants are built to withstand the rigours of frequent wear. The blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester (with a 60/40 ratio for the Dark Heather Grey variant) ensures the garment remains breathable while offering the durability and shape retention of synthetic fibres. The smooth cotton face is specifically engineered to improve the clarity of branding, preventing the 'show-through' of the inner fleece and ensuring a professional finish.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These sweatpants are an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is highly recommended for a traditional and professional appearance, such as a company logo or employee name placed on the thigh, offering a high-texture finish that lasts. For those requiring larger, more vibrant designs, our printing processes take full advantage of the 100% cotton face to deliver sharp, durable graphics. Our expert in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
These sweatpants are ideally suited for staff in the fitness and leisure industries, logistics personnel who require a full range of movement, or as part of a relaxed uniform for events and exhibitions. They also serve as a comfortable option for tradespeople working in environments where flexibility is more critical than heavy-duty protection.

Practical Advice
The size range from XS to 3XL allows for a comprehensive team rollout. For a more relaxed fit during physical activities, we suggest adhering to the specific waist measurements provided. These trousers layer effectively with base layers for outdoor work in colder conditions without compromising on mobility.
Caring for your product
To preserve the longevity of the fabric and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt without causing excessive stress to the cotton fibres.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the colour fastness of the garment and can damage the integrity of the embroidered or printed logo. When drying, use a low-heat tumble dry setting; high heat can lead to shrinkage and may cause printed designs to crack or peel over time.
A cool iron (one dot) may be used if necessary, but avoid direct contact with any decorated areas to prevent melting or distortion. Dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemical solvents used can degrade the fabric's soft finish and affect the adhesion of custom prints.
