Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the BY012. The fabric composition of 65% cotton and 35% polyester strikes the ideal balance between natural comfort and synthetic durability. The high cotton content ensures a soft touch and excellent moisture absorption, while the polyester component provides the necessary tensile strength to prevent stretching and sagging. The heavyweight nature of the brushed fleece makes it a substantial choice for outdoor work, providing significant insulation. The ribbed cuffs and hem are designed to be resilient, ensuring the garment stays securely in place while moving, thereby preventing drafts and maintaining a tidy silhouette.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment has been specifically engineered to accommodate high-quality customisation. For those seeking a traditional and sophisticated appearance, embroidery is the preferred choice; it is particularly effective for company logos or individual names, offering a durable finish that survives the frequent laundering required in professional settings. If your branding requires large, high-impact graphics, our printing services provide a vibrant and sharp result. Our Telford-based team, established in 1976, manages all customisation in-house, ensuring that every stitch or print meets our exacting standards of quality and precision.
Use Cases
The BY012 is versatile enough for a variety of applications. It is an excellent choice for tradespeople requiring a warm, durable outer layer that can be easily removed. It also serves as ideal team wear for logistics, event staff, or delivery drivers who need to remain recognisable and professional while on the move. Due to its clean lines and high-quality finish, it is equally suitable for staff uniforms in retail or hospitality environments where a modern, casual look is required.

Practical Advice
The BY012 is a heavyweight garment with a classic cut, making it ideal for layering over t-shirts or polo shirts. If you intend to wear this as a primary outer layer over multiple garments, you may wish to consider the generous sizing range to ensure a comfortable fit. The tear-out tag is a particularly useful feature for businesses looking to completely rebrand the garment as their own.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your hoodie, we recommend a mild fine machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature helps to preserve the cotton fibres and protects the vibrancy of your printed or embroidered branding.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Chlorine-based cleaners will weaken the polyester-cotton blend and cause significant fading, which will compromise the professional look of your uniform.
We advise against the use of a tumble dryer. Instead, allow the hoodie to air dry naturally to prevent shrinkage and to ensure that any custom prints do not crack or peel due to excessive heat exposure.
If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature setting. Ensure you do not iron directly over any printed or embroidered areas, as high heat can melt print films or distort the embroidery threads. This item should not be dry cleaned, as the harsh chemicals used can damage the brushed fleece interior and the structural integrity of the fabric.
