Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Basic hoodie is a fundamental staple designed for those who require a reliable, medium-weight layer that balances comfort with professional utility. Engineered for a regular fit, this hoodie serves as an ideal canvas for business branding, providing a clean and consistent appearance for teams. Constructed from a balanced cotton and polyester blend with a soft brushed fleece interior, it offers warmth and a pleasant feel against the skin, making it suitable for all-day wear in various work environments.
Key Features
- Substantial Brushed Fleece: The interior fabric is brushed to create a soft texture that traps heat effectively, ensuring you remain comfortable during cooler shifts.
- Wide Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: These reinforced sections help the garment maintain its shape and provide a secure fit, preventing drafts from entering the sleeves or waist.
- Functional Kangaroo Pocket: A spacious front pocket offers a convenient space for warming hands or storing small essential items while on the move.
- Adjustable Hood with Plastic Caps: The drawstring allows for a customisable fit around the head, while the plastic caps prevent the cord from fraying or retracting into the hood.
- Inclusive Size Range: Available from XS up to 7XL, ensuring that every member of your team can be outfitted in matching, professional attire regardless of their build.
Design & Performance
This garment is built from a 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend, a combination chosen specifically for its performance characteristics. The cotton provides natural breathability and softness, while the polyester adds necessary durability and resistance to shrinking or stretching after multiple washes. The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to offer protection against the elements without feeling overly heavy or restrictive during physical tasks.
Furthermore, the hoodie is produced in a FAMA-certified factory, meeting high standards for manufacturing and ethical production. Being tagless, it eliminates the common irritation of neck labels, which is a small but significant detail for those wearing the garment for long hours on the job.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the cotton-blend fabric makes this hoodie exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. For companies seeking a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for chest logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium appearance that withstands heavy use.
If your branding requires larger, more intricate designs or vibrant colour gradients across the back, our high-quality printing processes are the ideal solution. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined these techniques to ensure your logo remains sharp and professional, helping your business stand out for all the right reasons.
Use Cases
This hoodie is a versatile choice for staff uniforms across various sectors, including logistics, warehouse operations, and trade services. It is equally effective as promotional merchandise or branded apparel for events, where a dependable and comfortable garment is required. Its wide size range makes it particularly useful for large, diverse workforces where uniform consistency is paramount.

Practical Advice
Given the regular fit of this hoodie, it serves as an excellent mid-layer. We recommend pairing it over a technical t-shirt for added insulation in winter months. When selecting sizes for a large team, please refer to our comprehensive size guide, which extends to 7XL, to ensure a comfortable and professional fit for every employee.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your hoodie is straightforward, provided specific guidelines are followed. We recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Using a lower temperature helps preserve the fibres and ensures that any printed or embroidered branding remains vibrant and intact over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the fabric's structure and cause significant discolouration. To maintain the hoodie's shape and prevent unwanted shrinkage, do not tumble dry; instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally.
If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemical processes involved can compromise the integrity of the brushed fleece and the quality of the finish.
