Product Overview
The B&C ID.224 zip hoodie is a well-engineered, medium-weight layering piece designed to provide a professional appearance while maintaining comfort throughout the working day. Constructed with a modern relaxed fit and a true unisex cut, this garment features side seams that ensure the hoodie retains its shape after repeated laundering. The inclusion of the B&C 'No Label' solution makes this an ideal choice for businesses looking to establish a clean, cohesive brand identity through rebranding.
Key Features
- Single Jersey Lined Hood: The hood is expertly designed to provide a superior fit and a clean aesthetic, avoiding the bulk often found in lower-quality garments.
- Tone-on-Tone Covered Zip: A full-length zip with a discreet finish ensures that your custom branding remains the focal point while providing versatile temperature control.
- 1x1 Rib with Elastane: The cuffs and bottom hem are reinforced with elastane to provide excellent stretch and recovery, preventing the garment from sagging at the pressure points.
- Hand-Placed Pockets: The front pockets are thoughtfully positioned for natural hand placement and secure storage of essential items during transit.
- Sustainable Fabric Blend: Utilising recycled polyester alongside pre-shrunk ringspun cotton, this garment meets modern environmental standards without compromising on durability or feel.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight sweatshirt is crafted from a blend of 50% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton and 50% recycled polyester. The ringspun process creates a smoother, stronger yarn, which results in a superior hand-feel and a more stable surface for customisation. The set-in sleeves are designed with a slight dropped shoulder, which enhances mobility for those in more active roles, while the side-seamed construction prevents the garment from twisting, a common failure in tubular-knit alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C ID.224 has been engineered specifically with customisation in mind. The smooth fabric surface provides an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and authoritative look, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names, as the dense knit of this medium-weight fabric supports the stitch count effectively. For larger, more vibrant promotional graphics, our printing processes ensure a sharp finish. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This zip hoodie is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. It is an excellent choice for site-based supervisors who require a professional yet practical outer layer, as well as for staff in the education, activewear, and promotional sectors. The extensive size range, reaching up to 5XL in core colours, ensures that entire teams can be outfitted in a uniform look regardless of individual requirements.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please refer to the chest measurements provided. This hoodie offers a modern relaxed fit, which is ideal for layering over polo shirts or t-shirts. If your team operates in colder environments, the zip-through design allows for easy removal when moving between outdoor tasks and indoor office work. Given its medium-weight nature, it provides warmth without being overly restrictive.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment continues to perform and look its best, it is essential to follow the recommended care protocols. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of the fabric but also protects the integrity of your embroidered or printed branding.
We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature protects the pre-shrunk cotton fibres from unnecessary heat stress and ensures the colours remain vibrant for longer. Higher temperatures can lead to premature wear and may affect the adhesive bond of printed designs.
When drying, use a low-heat tumble setting. Excessive heat can damage the elastane in the cuffs and hem, leading to a loss of shape. Similarly, if ironing is required, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from lifting or distorting.
Do not use bleach or chemical dry cleaning agents. These substances are too harsh for the recycled polyester fibres and will cause the fabric to degrade and lose its structural strength.
