Design & Performance
The Rochester is engineered from 100% polyester fleece, selected for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. As a medium-weight fleece, it offers significant insulation without the bulk of a traditional jacket. The fabric is resilient and designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining its soft-touch finish.
Performance is at the heart of this design; the zipped pockets are strategically placed for accessibility, and the inclusion of a chest pocket is particularly useful for those who need to keep pens or small scanners close at hand. The tailored fit ensures it looks professional when worn over a shirt or polo, while the polyester fibres provide the durability required for active roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This fleece gilet is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. We recommend embroidery for this specific fabric; our expert team in Telford uses high-precision machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with depth and durability. Embroidery provides a traditional, executive finish that withstands repeated laundering.
For larger, more vibrant branding, heat-applied print is also an option. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting the art of garment customisation, and we ensure that every logo applied to the Rochester gilet meets our exacting standards for clarity and longevity. The option to swap zip pullers for various colours, such as Red, Lime, or Royal, allows for an extra level of brand alignment that is often overlooked.
Use Cases
The Rochester is a versatile piece of workwear suited to a variety of industries. It is an ideal choice for delivery drivers and logistics staff who need core warmth but require full arm mobility for lifting. It is equally effective for retail staff or hospitality workers operating in cooler environments, such as garden centres or large event spaces. The professional finish also makes it a popular choice for managers visiting site locations.

Practical Advice
For the best results, we recommend wearing the Rochester Core Fleece Gilet as a mid-layer over a moisture-wicking polo shirt or a formal work shirt. If you are between sizes, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath it; if you prefer a heavier sweatshirt underneath, you may wish to size up. For those looking to coordinate a large team, the interchangeable zip pullers are a cost-effective way to differentiate departments while maintaining a unified look.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your fleece, we recommend following the machine washable instructions closely. Regular washing at standard domestic temperatures helps to remove surface oils and dirt that can flatten the fleece fibres over time, ensuring the garment continues to provide optimal insulation.
Avoid using fabric softeners where possible, as these can sometimes coat the polyester fibres and reduce the garment's natural breathability. Always wash the gilet inside out to protect any embroidered or printed logos from abrasion against the washing machine drum, ensuring your brand remains sharp and professional for the life of the garment.
