Design & Performance
The fabric composition of the Connaught jacket is a calculated blend of 64% recycled polyester, 34% wool, and 2% Lycra. This combination results in a medium-weight garment that is both durable and comfortable. The inclusion of wool provides natural temperature regulation and a premium texture, while the recycled polyester adds significant crease resistance and structural integrity. The small addition of Lycra is essential for modern workwear, providing just enough stretch to ensure the jacket moves with the wearer rather than restricting them.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a tailored garment of this quality, embroidery is highly recommended. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names to the chest or lapel, providing a textured, high-end finish that complements the wool-rich fabric. While print is an option for bold, flat designs, embroidery typically offers the longevity and 'proper' professional appearance that corporate environments demand. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these customisation techniques to ensure your branding is as durable as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This jacket is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, corporate office environments, and transport or security management roles. Its balance of style and durability makes it suitable for any position where a first impression is critical and a high standard of dress is required.

Practical Advice
The Connaught is a classic fit jacket, designed to offer a comfortable, standard roominess. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath; it sits perfectly over a lightweight blouse or a fine-gauge knit. If you are between sizes, the classic fit usually allows for your standard size without feeling overly restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of this jacket, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided. Regular maintenance ensures the wool blend retains its shape and the custom branding remains secure.
This garment is machine washable, which is a significant advantage for daily workwear. We recommend using a gentle cycle to prevent the wool fibres from becoming agitated, which can lead to pilling or loss of shape over time. Avoid using bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the recycled polyester fibres and damage the Lycra, leading to a loss of elasticity and a dulling of the fabric's colour.
