Product Overview
The B&C Athletic Move is a well-engineered sleeveless vest designed for comfort and ease of movement. Crafted from high-quality ringspun cotton, this garment provides a soft-touch feel against the skin while maintaining a professional, athletic silhouette. Its deep round neck and sleeveless design make it an ideal choice for physically demanding roles or warmer environments where breathability and freedom of movement are priorities.
Key Features
- Deep round neck with self-fabric piping provides a clean, reinforced finish and prevents the neckline from stretching or losing its shape during active use.
- Piping at the armholes mirrors the neckline detail, adding structural integrity to the openings and ensuring the garment remains durable despite repeated wear.
- Double top-stitching on the bottom hem offers essential reinforcement, preventing fraying and maintaining the vest's shape after multiple wash cycles.
- Tubular construction removes the need for side seams, which significantly increases wearer comfort by reducing friction and potential irritation during physical activity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton, this vest is built to perform in busy working environments. The ringspun process creates a smoother and stronger yarn compared to standard cotton, resulting in a fabric that is both more durable and more receptive to customisation. As a lightweight fabric, it offers exceptional breathability, making it suitable for layering or as a standalone piece in high-temperature settings.
The tubular construction is a hallmark of quality design, ensuring that the vest retains its shape over time without the twisting often associated with side-seamed alternatives. Furthermore, with accreditations including PETA-Approved Vegan and the Fair Wear Foundation, it meets high ethical and environmental standards for modern business procurement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C Athletic Move is a versatile canvas for your company branding. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, recommends embroidery for a sophisticated, durable finish on the chest—perfect for staff names or professional company logos. The smooth ringspun surface provides a stable and consistent base for detailed needlework.
Alternatively, for larger promotional designs or event branding, our high-quality print processes are ideal. Printing allows for vibrant, bold graphics that remain flexible even on this lightweight fabric. All customisation is handled in-house by our experts to ensure your brand is represented with the highest level of precision.
Use Cases
This vest is perfectly suited for personal trainers, gym staff, and workers in outdoor events or summer hospitality. It is equally effective as a base layer for tradespeople working in high-intensity environments where moisture management and the ability to move without restriction are essential.

Practical Advice
Available in sizes from Medium to 2XL, we recommend consulting our sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your team. Given its lightweight nature, this vest works excellently as a base layer under a sweatshirt or jacket, allowing for easy temperature regulation as the working environment changes throughout the day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your vest, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Following this temperature guide ensures the cotton fibres remain strong and any custom branding remains sharp and vibrant for longer.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric fibres and strip the colour from the garment, leading to premature wear and a loss of professional appearance. The vest is suitable for tumble drying, which helps manage the natural characteristics of cotton, though removing it promptly will reduce the need for heavy ironing.
When ironing, use a medium setting (Iron 2). Avoid applying direct heat to any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation. Finally, this garment should not be dry cleaned, as the harsh chemicals used in that process can interfere with the fabric’s pre-shrunk properties and any applied logos.
