Product Overview
The Build Your Brand BY198 is a thoughtfully engineered long-sleeved garment that bridges the gap between a standard t-shirt and a medium-weight sweatshirt. Crafted from 100% cotton single jersey, this piece is designed with a modern oversized silhouette, featuring dropped shoulders and a set-in sleeve for a relaxed yet intentional look. Its clean aesthetic, devoid of pockets, provides an uninterrupted surface that is particularly well-suited for businesses looking to project a contemporary image through their workwear.
Key Features
- Round Ribbed Neck: The classic crew neck design is finished with ribbing to ensure it maintains its shape even after repeated wear and washing.
- Set-in Sleeves with Dropped Shoulders: This design choice provides a relaxed fit across the upper body, allowing for greater freedom of movement during active tasks.
- Pocket-Free Design: By omitting pockets, the garment offers a sleek profile and maximises the available area for large-scale custom branding.
- Natural Single Jersey Fabric: The use of 100% cotton ensures breathability and comfort against the skin, making it suitable for year-round wear.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from Small through to 5XL, ensuring a consistent team appearance across all staff members.
Design & Performance
Construction-wise, this sweatshirt utilises a single jersey knit, which offers a smoother surface compared to traditional loopback fabrics. The medium-weight cotton provides enough substance to feel durable without the bulk of a heavy winter fleece. The oversized cut is not merely a stylistic choice; it offers practical ventilation and ease of movement, which is essential for those in more active roles. The tear-out tag is a small but vital detail for those wishing to rebrand the garment or for employees with sensitive skin who find traditional labels irritating.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an exceptional candidate for both print and embroidery, and all customisation is handled by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery for smaller logos on the chest or neck, providing a durable and professional appearance that withstands industrial laundering. For larger, more complex graphics across the back or chest, print is the ideal choice. The smooth surface of the single jersey fabric allows for high-definition print results, ensuring your company branding remains sharp and visible. Our team, established in 1976, has decades of experience in ensuring your logo is applied with precision.
Use Cases
The BY198 is particularly popular in modern retail environments, creative agencies, and delivery services where a less formal but cohesive look is required. It also serves as an excellent layering piece for tradespeople working in variable temperatures. Its contemporary fit makes it a favourite for brands looking to produce high-quality promotional merchandise that people will actually want to wear.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this garment is designed with an oversized cut. The chest measurements are significantly more generous than a standard fit; for example, a size Large is designed to fit a 60-inch chest. If you prefer a more traditional, closer fit, you may wish to consider sizing down. This garment layers exceptionally well over a base-layer t-shirt or under a heavy-duty work jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of the cotton, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on an easy-care cycle. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to unwanted shrinkage of the natural fibres and may cause the custom branding to degrade prematurely.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally will prevent the fabric from becoming brittle and ensure the oversized fit remains true to size.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from melting or peeling. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemical solvents used in the process can damage both the 100% cotton fabric and the adhesives used in many printing techniques.
