Design & Performance
This hoodie is manufactured from a balanced blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. This composition is chosen for its dual performance: the cotton provides a soft, breathable touch against the skin, while the polyester adds necessary durability and resistance to shrinking or stretching. The fabric is a medium-weight material, making it substantial enough to provide warmth while remaining light enough to layer under a jacket.
The slightly tailored cut is a specific design choice to ensure the garment fits the female form comfortably, avoiding the excessive bulk often associated with unisex workwear. This attention to fit ensures that staff look cohesive and professional while remaining comfortable during active tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fabric surface of the BB009 is specifically suited for high-quality customisation. For a traditional and durable finish, we recommend embroidery; it is particularly effective for company logos or staff names, providing a tactile, premium look that withstands frequent laundering. For larger, more complex branding or bold back designs, print technology offers a crisp and vibrant alternative.
At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We handle all customisation in-house, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision and technical expertise your business deserves.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an excellent choice for retail staff, hospitality teams, or event personnel who require a smart-casual uniform. Due to its extensive size range—stretching from XS (UK 8) to 5XL (UK 24)—it is an ideal solution for businesses seeking inclusive uniform options that cater to all team members.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a slightly tailored cut, we recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure the correct fit across your team. It is designed to be worn over a t-shirt or polo shirt, providing an adaptable layer for changing temperatures throughout the shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your workwear, proper care is essential. We recommend a machine wash at 30°C on an easycare cycle. Using higher temperatures may lead to fabric degradation and can negatively affect the longevity of your custom embroidery or print.
Do not use bleach, as this will weaken the fibres and cause significant discolouration. We also advise against hot ironing; if ironing is required, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage.
Tumble drying and dry cleaning should be avoided. These processes can cause the garment to shrink and may distort the tailored shape. Instead, allow the hoodie to air dry naturally to keep the fabric and branding in peak condition.
