Key Features
- Sustainable Fabric Blend: Comprised of 80% organic ringspun combed cotton and 20% recycled polyester, this garment supports environmental responsibility while providing a superior, soft-touch feel against the skin.
- Optimised Masculine Fit: The inclusion of side seams ensures a structured, masculine silhouette and a consistent fit that maintains its shape throughout the working day.
- B&C No Label Solution: The absence of a traditional brand label at the neck allows for seamless rebranding, making it an ideal choice for businesses wishing to create a fully bespoke uniform.
- High-Quality Hardware: A covered metal zip provides a clean, professional finish and added durability, ensuring the fastening remains functional under frequent use.
- Retail-Inspired Detailing: Features such as the single Jersey lined hood and qualitative herringbone neck tape provide additional comfort and a high-end finish that stands out from standard workwear.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight sweatshirt is engineered for both comfort and long-term performance. The use of ringspun combed cotton creates a smooth, even surface that is exceptionally well-suited for high-resolution decoration. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the fabric construction provides a reliable layer of warmth, while the recycled polyester adds essential durability and helps the garment retain its structure after repeated laundering. The internal single Jersey half-moon at the back neck is a thoughtful design element that simplifies internal branding and adds a touch of technical sophistication to the overall construction.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C Inspire Zipped Hood is a versatile canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing your brand to be presented exactly as intended. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional and enduring finish, particularly for company logos or staff names on the chest. The dense knit of the organic cotton provides a stable foundation for intricate needlework, ensuring your branding remains crisp and professional.
For larger, more vibrant designs on the back, our high-quality printing techniques are highly effective. Since 1976, our expert team in Telford has been refining these processes to ensure that every garment we produce meets our rigorous standards. Whether you require a subtle embroidered logo or a bold printed graphic, we handle every stage of the customisation process in-house to ensure consistency and quality.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an excellent choice for modern businesses across various sectors, including retail, hospitality, and creative industries where a relaxed yet professional appearance is required. It is equally suitable as high-quality event merchandise or as a comfortable layer for site managers and professionals who need to maintain a polished look while on the move.

Practical Advice
With a size range from Small to 3XL, this hoodie offers a reliable fit for most team members. We recommend reviewing the chest measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if the garment is intended to be worn over several layers. For those between sizes, opting for the larger size may provide a more comfortable range of movement during physical tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of your zipped hoodie, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature helps to preserve the organic cotton fibres and ensures that your custom branding, whether printed or embroidered, remains vibrant over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can degrade the recycled polyester and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, we advise against the use of a dryer, as high heat can lead to unwanted shrinkage and may damage the adhesive properties of printed designs. Instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally to maintain its shape.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting (iron-1) and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the decoration. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical processes involved can be detrimental to the fabric's soft-touch finish and the overall longevity of the piece.
