Design & Performance
The fabric is a sophisticated 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester, featuring a brushed fleece interior for added comfort. This combination is chosen for its specific performance benefits: the cotton provides natural breathability and softness against the skin, while the polyester adds necessary durability and resistance to shrinking. The medium-weight nature of the fabric makes it substantial enough to provide warmth without feeling overly bulky under a heavier jacket.
The raglan cut is more than just a stylistic choice; by moving the seams away from the top of the shoulder, it reduces friction when wearing backpacks or carrying equipment, a subtle but significant benefit for a long day on the job. The tagless design further enhances comfort by eliminating neck irritation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie has been designed as a blank canvas, making it exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery. For those seeking a truly professional and traditional finish, our in-house embroidery team can render your company logo or staff names in high-density stitching. This provides a textured, premium appearance that is incredibly long-lasting.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the cotton-poly blend is perfect for large-scale printing. If your design is bold or covers a significant area of the chest or back, print technology allows for vibrant colours and crisp details. All customisation is handled at our specialist facility in Telford, where our team has been perfecting the craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This hoodie is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is particularly popular within the events and hospitality industries, where a relaxed but uniform appearance is required. It also serves as an excellent layer for delivery drivers or tradespeople who need comfortable, non-restrictive clothing during the cooler months. Given the extensive size range from XS to 5XL, it is a practical option for outfitting entire, diverse workforces.

Practical Advice
The BB005 offers a generous fit, making it ideal for layering over T-shirts or polo shirts. With sizes extending up to 5XL, it is one of our most inclusive options for larger teams. When choosing between customisation methods, consider your environment: embroidery is incredibly resilient for high-wear environments, while print is often preferred for promotional events where visual impact is the priority.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of this hoodie, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Lower temperatures protect the brushed fleece interior from pilling and ensure that any printed or embroidered logos remain intact and vibrant for longer.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric fibres and strip the colour from the garment and your branding. When ironing, use a low setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from being damaged by heat.
This garment should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned. Air drying is the safest method to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original fit of the hoodie throughout its working life.
