Design & Performance
Constructed with a 100% polyester outer and a matching polyester lining, this jacket is designed for those who require a lightweight layer that doesn't compromise on durability. The loose fit and dropped shoulders are not merely stylistic choices; they allow for a greater range of motion and easier layering over sweatshirts or t-shirts. Despite its substantial appearance, the fabric is exceptionally lightweight, making it an ideal choice for transitional weather or indoor environments where a heavier coat would be impractical.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket serves as an excellent canvas for your company branding. For a superior finish, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery for logos and staff names, which provides a textured, high-quality appearance that lasts. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or bold promotional text, the robust polyester surface is perfectly suited for screen or flex printing. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting the art of garment customisation, and our in-house experts ensure every stitch and print meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
The Light College Jacket is particularly suited for promotional events, team-building exercises, or as a lighter uniform option for staff in the retail and hospitality sectors. Its casual yet structured design makes it a favorite for student unions, sports clubs, and creative agencies looking to foster a cohesive team identity without the formality of a traditional blazer.

Practical Advice
Given the casual, loose fit of this garment, we recommend reviewing the sizing guide carefully. If you prefer a more tailored appearance, you may wish to consider a size smaller than your usual measurement, though the dropped shoulders are designed to sit naturally for a modern look. It layers exceptionally well over lightweight knitwear or polo shirts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the vibrancy of your customisation, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on an easy-care cycle. Using higher temperatures may damage the synthetic fibres and cause the branding to degrade prematurely.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will strip the colour from the polyester fabric and ruin any printed or embroidered elements. Similarly, do not tumble dry this jacket; the high heat can warp the fabric and lead to shrinkage. Instead, allow it to air dry naturally.
Ironing is not permitted for this garment. The polyester fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant, and the application of a hot iron could melt the fibres or damage the custom prints. Dry cleaning is also unnecessary and should be avoided to prolong the life of the jacket.
