- Set-in sleeves and ribbed cuffs at the hem and sleeve openings, ensuring the garment retains its shape during active movement.
- Herringbone neck tape and a neck half-moon, which reinforce the areas of highest stress to prevent stretching.
- A comprehensive size range from XS to 5XL, ensuring every member of your team can be accommodated.
Design & Performance
This hoodie is crafted from a medium-weight fabric blend consisting of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. This composition is chosen for its specific performance characteristics: the cotton provides natural breathability and a soft handle against the skin, while the polyester adds essential durability and resistance to shrinking or piling. The 'brushed' interior finish serves a dual purpose, trapping air for insulation in cooler environments while maintaining a smooth exterior surface that is ideal for high-definition branding.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Build Your Brand Basic zip hoodie is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and authoritative corporate appearance, we recommend embroidery for chest-mounted logos or staff names. The dense weave of the fabric provides a stable foundation for high-stitch-count designs, ensuring your branding remains sharp and professional.
Alternatively, for promotional events or larger branding requirements, the smooth surface area of the back is perfectly suited for screen or vinyl printing. Large, bold designs remain vibrant and clear on this fabric blend. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This zip hoodie is ideally suited for a wide range of professional environments, from warehouse and logistics operations to retail and event staff. The full-zip design makes it a practical choice for employees moving between indoor and outdoor tasks, allowing for quick temperature regulation. Its inclusive sizing also makes it a primary choice for large-scale corporate uniforms where consistency across the entire team is paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this hoodie is available in a broad range from XS (34") up to 5XL (60"). For those working in layered environments, we recommend a size that allows for a base layer or polo shirt underneath without restricting movement. The tear-out tag is a particularly useful feature for those looking to prevent neck irritation or for businesses rebranding the garment as their own.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C on an easy-care cycle. This lower temperature prevents the polyester fibres from heat-damage and ensures the cotton does not suffer from excessive shrinkage.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the fabric fibres and lead to premature fading of both the garment and your embroidered or printed logo.
Do not tumble dry or dry clean this hoodie. Air drying is essential to prevent the garment from losing its shape. High heat from tumble dryers can also cause printed designs to crack or peel over time. Similarly, avoid using a hot iron; if pressing is required, use a cool setting and iron the garment inside out to protect the branding.
