Product Overview
The B&C Set-in sweatshirt is a thoughtfully engineered garment that balances professional aesthetics with the practical demands of the modern workplace. Featuring the proprietary B&C Perfect Sweat Technology, this sweatshirt is specifically designed to provide a superior surface for branding while ensuring long-term durability. The inclusion of ring-spun combed cotton results in a luxurious, soft handfeel, making it a reliable choice for staff who require comfort throughout a long shift. With its clean lines and modern cut, this sweatshirt serves as a versatile staple for any corporate or trade uniform.
Key Features
- B&C Perfect Sweat Technology: This unique fabric construction ensures a smooth, consistent surface, which is essential for achieving high-definition results during the customisation process.
- Ribbed Collar, Cuffs, and Hem: The 1x1 ribbing contains elastane, which ensures the garment retains its shape and elasticity even after repeated wear and washing.
- Modern Cut: Designed with side seams and a contemporary fit, it provides a professional silhouette that is more flattering than traditional, boxy sweatshirts.
- Fleecy Interior: The brushed fleece lining provides excellent insulation and a soft touch against the skin, making it ideal for cooler working conditions.
- Topstitched Construction: Reinforced stitching on the shoulders, armholes, and bottom hemline increases the garment's structural integrity, preventing fraying under physical stress.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight sweatshirt is crafted from a high-quality blend of 80% ring-spun combed cotton and 20% recycled polyester. The combing process is vital; it removes shorter, coarser fibres to leave only the long, smooth strands, which significantly reduces the risk of pilling and ensures a softer finish. The recycled polyester component adds a layer of sustainability without compromising the garment's performance, providing additional strength and wrinkle resistance.
The performance of this sweatshirt is further enhanced by its structural design. The side seams ensure the garment hangs correctly and prevents the twisting that often occurs with tubular-knit alternatives. This attention to detail ensures that the wearer maintains a sharp, professional appearance from the start of the day to the end.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C Set-in sweatshirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery. For businesses seeking a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for company logos and individual names. The tight knit of the combed cotton supports dense stitching, ensuring that logos remain crisp and clear over time.
Alternatively, the 'Perfect Sweat Technology' provides an exceptionally smooth surface for printing. This is particularly beneficial for larger, more complex designs where clarity and colour vibrancy are paramount. Our in-house team in Telford, which has been refining these techniques since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is a versatile choice for a wide range of sectors. It is perfectly suited for delivery and logistics personnel who require warmth and flexibility, as well as retail and hospitality staff who need a smart, uniform appearance. It also functions well as a layering piece for tradespeople working on-site, providing warmth without the bulk of a heavy jacket.

Practical Advice
The B&C Set-in sweatshirt features a modern, streamlined cut. If you prefer a more generous fit or intend to wear a thick shirt underneath, we recommend selecting one size larger than your usual chest measurement. The wide size range, from Small to 3XL, ensures a consistent look across your entire team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and perspiration while protecting the fibres and the vibrancy of your custom logo.
The use of bleach must be strictly avoided. Bleach will break down the cotton fibres, leading to premature thinning of the fabric and causing significant damage to the colour and any applied branding.
While the garment is suitable for tumble drying, removing it while slightly damp can help minimise creases. When ironing, please use a medium heat setting (level 2). It is essential to avoid ironing directly over any printed areas, as the heat can cause the design to peel or distort.
Dry cleaning is not recommended for this garment. The harsh chemicals used in the dry-cleaning process can degrade the elastane in the ribbing and negatively affect the adhesion of printed logos.
