Design & Performance
Engineered with B&C’s Perfect Sweat Technology (PST), this hoodie is built for both comfort and performance. The fabric is a robust blend of pre-shrunk ringspun cotton and recycled polyester, providing a luxurious hand feel and a sturdy, substantial weight. The 100% cotton face is specifically designed to provide a smooth, consistent surface for branding, while the side-seam construction ensures a consistent, unisex fit that remains stable after laundering.
Beyond its physical durability, this garment carries a wide range of ethical accreditations, including PETA-Approved Vegan and Fair Wear Foundation status. The use of recycled polyester highlights a commitment to sustainable sourcing without compromising on the heavy-duty nature of the fabric.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C Influence zip hood is a premier choice for bespoke branding. For those seeking a classic, professional finish, our Telford-based embroidery team can apply high-density logos or staff names with precision; the heavyweight fabric provides a stable foundation that handles complex stitching without puckering.
Alternatively, the 100% cotton face makes this an exceptional canvas for various printing techniques. Whether you require bold, large-scale graphics for merchandise or clean corporate logos, the smooth outer surface ensures vibrant colour reproduction and sharp detail. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined the art of customisation to ensure your brand is represented with absolute clarity.

Practical Advice
As this garment features an oversized, unisex design, you may find that it offers a more generous fit than standard hoodies. We recommend reviewing the size guide carefully; if you prefer a more tailored appearance, you might consider selecting one size smaller than your usual measurement. This hoodie layers exceptionally well over lightweight t-shirts for year-round versatility.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and finish of this heavyweight garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can stress the cotton fibres and may lead to premature fading of both the fabric and any custom branding.
Do not tumble dry this hoodie. Air drying is essential to prevent unnecessary shrinkage and to ensure the metal zip and ribbed sections remain in their original shape. Tumble drying can also damage the adhesive bonds used in some printing processes.
When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas. High heat can melt print transfers or distort embroidery threads. Bleaching and dry cleaning should be avoided entirely, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the recycled polyester content and compromise the fabric's luxurious feel.
