Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Heavy Hoodie is a substantial garment designed for those who require a blend of contemporary style and functional warmth. Crafted as a heavyweight option in the casual workwear category, it avoids the flimsy feel of standard leisurewear, providing a structured yet relaxed fit. The inclusion of a half-moon neck insert and necktape demonstrates a level of construction detail often overlooked in basic hoodies, ensuring the garment retains its shape even after significant use.
Key Features
Front Kangaroo Pouch: Provides a practical space for warming hands or storing small essentials while maintaining the classic hoodie aesthetic.
Inside Brushed Sweat Fabric: The interior has been brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that enhances wearer comfort throughout the day.
Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: These wide-ribbed sections ensure a secure fit, preventing heat from escaping and giving the hoodie a more athletic, professional silhouette.
Tear-out Tag: Ideal for businesses looking to rebrand the garment as their own, allowing for a clean, professional finish without intrusive labels.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 65% cotton and 35% polyester strikes a deliberate balance between natural comfort and synthetic durability. The cotton provides breathability and a premium feel against the skin, while the polyester content ensures the garment holds its shape and withstands the rigours of a busy working environment. This hoodie is manufactured in a FAMA certified factory, meaning it meets high standards of facility and merchandise authorisation—a reassurance that your workwear is produced ethically and to a consistent quality.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavyweight fabric is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a traditional professional appearance, we recommend embroidery; the density of the brushed fleece supports complex logos and individual names with ease, creating a long-lasting, high-quality finish. If you require large, vibrant graphics—perhaps for promotional events or team branding—our printing techniques will yield sharp, bold results. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these processes since 1976.
Use Cases
Given its inclusive size range from XS to 5XL, this hoodie is a versatile choice for entire workforces. It is particularly suited for staff in the creative industries, delivery drivers who need an extra layer of warmth, or as part of a student leavers’ package. Its clean lines also make it a popular choice for high-quality retail merchandise.

Practical Advice
The casual cut of this hoodie allows for easy layering over t-shirts or polo shirts. For those working in particularly cold environments, it fits comfortably under a technical shell jacket. We recommend reviewing the size guide carefully, as the generous cut is designed for a relaxed fit; if you prefer a more tailored appearance, you may wish to consider this when selecting your size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of this garment, a mild machine wash at 30°C is required. This lower temperature protects the cotton fibres and helps prevent the fleece interior from matting over time.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs. Bleach will not only destroy the colour of the fabric but will also weaken the integrity of the fibres and potentially damage any custom print or embroidery. Similarly, do not tumble dry this hoodie; air drying is essential to prevent shrinkage and to ensure the ribbed cuffs do not lose their elasticity.
If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed areas. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can strip the softness from the brushed fleece lining.
