Product Overview
The B&C KING Zipped Hood is a refined take on the classic zipped sweatshirt, blending a luxurious feel with practical utility. Constructed with a masculine silhouette in mind, it utilizes side-seamed construction to maintain its shape over time, avoiding the sagging often found in inferior garments. The high cotton content, specifically combed and ring-spun, provides a soft, premium surface that makes it an ideal candidate for professional branding.
Key Features
- Single Jersey lined hood: Adds a layer of durability and maintains a consistent appearance even after repeated use.
- Flat laced drawstrings with metal tips: These provide a polished finish and prevent the fraying associated with plastic-capped cords.
- Covered metal zip: A subtle design choice that ensures a clean visual line and protects the zip mechanism from debris.
- Qualitative long-lasting neck tape: Enhances the structural integrity of the neckline, preventing stretching and irritation.
- Single Jersey halfmoon back: A premium internal detail that reinforces the high-stress shoulder area and adds to the garment's longevity.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 80% pre-shrunk ring-spun combed cotton and 20% recycled polyester offers a balance of comfort and resilience. This medium-weight fabric provides enough warmth for cooler environments without becoming cumbersome. The pre-shrunk nature of the cotton is a technical advantage, ensuring that the hoodie retains its dimensions after laundering. The 100% combed cotton face is specifically engineered for a smooth finish, reducing pilling and providing a stable foundation for custom designs.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This zipped hoodie is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a formal and long-lasting corporate identity, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery for logos on the chest. The dense, high-quality knit supports heavy stitch counts without puckering. If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant designs on the back, the ultra-soft combed cotton face provides a superior canvas for screen printing or heat transfers. Our in-house specialists, who have been perfecting this craft since 1976, will ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
Given its elegant appearance and comfortable fit, this hoodie is ideal for front-of-house staff, delivery personnel, or as part of a high-end corporate uniform. It bridges the gap between casual wear and professional attire, making it suitable for client-facing roles where a smart-casual aesthetic is required.

Practical Advice
With a size range from XS to 3XL, this hoodie offers a versatile fit. For those layering over bulkier work shirts, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure a comfortable masculine silhouette. The side-seamed construction means the fit is more tailored than a standard tubular garment, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
Caring for your product
To maintain the premium feel and structural integrity of this hoodie, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. This lower temperature protects the pre-shrunk cotton fibres and ensures that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and free from heat-induced cracking.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause significant colour fading. This garment should not be tumble dried; instead, air dry it to prevent shrinkage and maintain the shape of the side seams.
When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the chemical solvents used in the process can compromise both the fabric and the adhesive used in certain printing methods.
