Design & Performance
This hoodie is constructed from a blend of 80% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton and 20% recycled polyester. The use of pre-shrunk cotton is a technical advantage, as it significantly reduces the risk of the garment losing its shape or size after the first few washes. The inclusion of recycled polyester not only supports more sustainable procurement but also adds a layer of structural integrity and moisture-wicking capability to the fabric. This medium-weight material provides essential warmth without the bulk of heavier outdoor garments, making it perfect for year-round use in temperate environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C ID.334 is an exceptional canvas for professional branding. For businesses seeking a traditional, high-end appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos on the chest. Embroidery offers a textured, durable finish that remains vibrant throughout the life of the garment. Alternatively, the 100% cotton face of the fabric is specifically engineered for print. This allows for large, bold designs on the back or sleeves with incredible detail and colour clarity. Since 1976, our Telford-based team has specialised in these customisation techniques, ensuring your staff look professional and your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
This zip hoodie is suitable for a wide range of applications, from retail and hospitality uniforms to construction and delivery roles. Its inclusive size range, extending from XS to 5XL, ensures that every member of the team can be accommodated with the same high-quality apparel. Furthermore, the label-free neck design makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to create their own branded merchandise or bespoke employee ranges without the interference of external branding.

Practical Advice
The relaxed, unisex fit of this hoodie is designed to be accommodating for all body types. We recommend reviewing the chest measurements provided in our size guide to ensure the best fit. As a medium-weight garment, it works excellently as a standalone outer layer in mild weather or as a comfortable mid-layer underneath a heavy waterproof jacket during the winter months. For those working in active roles, the dropped shoulder design will provide the necessary reach and flexibility.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your customised hoodie requires following specific care protocols to ensure the longevity of both the fabric and the branding.
We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. This temperature is sufficient to clean the garment while protecting the cotton fibres from heat damage and ensuring that your printed or embroidered logo remains intact and vibrant for as long as possible.
When drying, use a low heat setting on a tumble dryer. Excessive heat can cause the elastane in the cuffs and hem to degrade, which leads to the garment losing its elasticity and becoming misshapen over time.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting. It is crucial to avoid ironing directly over any printed designs, as the heat can cause the print to lift, crack, or transfer onto the iron surface.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleach will aggressively strip the dye from the fabric and weaken the structural integrity of the ringspun cotton. Similarly, do not dry clean this hoodie, as the chemicals used in the process can damage the recycled polyester fibres and the adhesives used in custom branding.
