B&C Collection B&C Queen zipped hooded

Product Overview

The B&C Queen zipped hooded sweatshirt represents a refined approach to everyday workwear, specifically tailored for the female form. This is not a scaled-down unisex garment; it is a meticulously designed piece of apparel that balances aesthetic elegance with the practical demands of a professional environment. Constructed from a high-quality blend of pre-shrunk ring-spun combed cotton and recycled polyester, it offers a smooth, luxurious feel while maintaining the structural integrity required for repeated wear.

Key Features

• Single Jersey Lined Hood: The addition of a jersey lining provides extra durability and ensures the hood maintains a professional appearance rather than becoming misshapen over time.
• Flat Laced Drawstrings with Metal Tips: These premium details offer a secure fit and a high-end finish that withstands the rigours of a busy workday without fraying.
• Covered Metal Zip: The discreet zip design allows for a larger, uninterrupted area for branding across the chest, ensuring your logo remains the focal point.
• Side-Seamed Construction: This ensures a superior feminine fit that follows the contours of the body, providing comfort without sacrificing professional style.
• Neck Tape and Half Moon Back: Internal reinforcements provide added stability at high-stress points, preventing stretching and ensuring long-term wearability.

Design & Performance

Performance in a professional setting requires more than just comfort; it requires a fabric that can withstand the test of time. This medium-weight sweatshirt is crafted from 80% pre-shrunk ring-spun combed cotton, which provides an exceptionally soft surface for both the wearer and for customisation. The inclusion of 20% recycled polyester adds necessary strength and wrinkle resistance, making it a reliable choice for long shifts.

The pre-shrunk nature of the fabric means you will not be surprised by significant shrinkage after the first wash, maintaining the tailored fit. The side-seams are essential for keeping the sweatshirt in shape, preventing the twisting often seen in lower-quality circular-knit alternatives.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

The B&C Queen is an ideal canvas for corporate branding, and our Telford-based team is well-versed in applying high-specification customisation to this specific fabric blend. The smooth, combed cotton face is particularly well-suited for detailed print work, allowing for crisp, vibrant designs that stand out, making it ideal for large promotional graphics.

For those seeking a more traditional and durable finish, embroidery is highly recommended. The stable, medium-weight knit supports the density of embroidered logos and names without pulling or puckering, providing a sophisticated appearance that enhances your brand's professional image. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques to ensure your logo looks as good on the final day of the garment's life as it does on the first.

Use Cases

This sweatshirt is a versatile addition to any professional wardrobe. It is particularly effective for front-of-house staff, event teams, or hospitality workers who require a smart yet approachable uniform. Given its premium finish and feminine cut, it also serves as excellent corporate merchandise or as part of a high-end team-building kit. It is also a responsible choice for businesses prioritising sustainability, thanks to its recycled polyester content and various ethical certifications, including Peta Approved Vegan and Fair Wear Foundation membership.

Practical Advice

When selecting your size, please refer to the specific UK dress size equivalents provided, ranging from size 8 (XS) up to size 22 (3XL). This garment is designed with a modern, feminine fit; if you prefer a more relaxed or layered feel over thicker work shirts, you may wish to consider one size larger than your usual measurement.

Caring for your product

To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may stress the cotton fibres and potentially impact the longevity of your custom branding.

The use of bleach must be avoided, as it will damage the fabric's colour and degrade the recycled polyester fibres. Similarly, dry cleaning is not recommended as the harsh chemicals involved can compromise both the fabric and the adhesive used in printed designs.

To preserve the shape of the hood and the fit of the garment, do not tumble dry. Instead, allow the sweatshirt to air dry naturally. When ironing, use a low setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent heat damage to your customisation.
