Product Overview
The Build Your Brand BY077 Raglan Hoodie is a thoughtfully designed garment that balances a sporty aesthetic with the practical requirements of professional workwear. Constructed from a substantial fleece-backed fabric, this hoodie offers a lightly contrasting two-tone appearance that provides a modern alternative to traditional solid-colour sweats. The raglan cut is the standout feature here, offering a more anatomical fit around the shoulders compared to standard set-in sleeves. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who require a full range of upper-body movement without the fabric bunching or pulling. With a focus on rebranding and customisation, this garment features a tagless design, making it ideal for businesses looking to establish their own clothing line or maintain a clean, professional corporate identity.
Key Features
- Raglan Sleeve Construction: Unlike standard sleeves, the raglan cut extends in one piece to the collar, providing greater flexibility and a streamlined silhouette.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: The broad ribbed finish at the sleeve openings and hem ensures the garment retains its shape after repeated wear and prevents heat from escaping.
- Kangaroo Pocket: A classic feature for practical storage, the pocket openings are also ribbed for increased durability and to prevent fraying at high-stress points.
- Metal Eyelets and Matching Drawstring: The hood is finished with sturdy metal eyelets and a tonal drawstring, ensuring long-lasting adjustment and a premium feel.
- Half-Moon Neck and Neck Tape: These internal reinforcements prevent the neckline from stretching out of shape and provide additional comfort against the skin.
Design & Performance
Performance is rooted in the fabric composition of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. This specific blend is chosen for its balance of natural breathability and synthetic resilience. The cotton provides a soft, comfortable feel against the skin, while the polyester content ensures the hoodie holds its structure and resists the pilling often seen in lower-quality garments. The fleece lining provides an effective thermal layer for cooler environments without being overly bulky. Furthermore, this item is manufactured in a FAMA certified factory, ensuring that your workwear meets high standards of facility and merchandise authorisation, reflecting well on your company's ethical procurement standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The BY077 is an exceptional canvas for branding. For a high-end, professional finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses precision machinery to stitch your logo directly into the fleece, creating a durable and sophisticated look that withstands industrial laundering. Embroidery is particularly effective on the chest or the nape of the neck above the half-moon detail.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the cotton-poly blend is perfectly suited for screen printing or heat transfers. Printing is the ideal choice for larger, bold back designs or promotional graphics where high-impact visibility is required. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques, ensuring that your customisation is as durable as the garment itself.
Use Cases
Given its sporty cut and comfortable fleece interior, this hoodie is well-suited for active trades such as plumbing, carpentry, or landscaping where movement is constant. It is also a popular choice for delivery drivers and warehouse staff who transition between indoor and outdoor environments. Beyond traditional trades, its tagless design and modern fit make it a preferred option for gym staff, sports teams, and retail environments looking for a contemporary uniform.

Practical Advice
The BY077 features a 'normal fit', which is generally true to size. However, if you intend to wear this hoodie as an outer layer over a thick shirt or thermal base, you may wish to consider sizing up for a more relaxed feel. The size range spans from Small to 2XL, catering to a broad variety of builds. For the best result, we suggest checking our size guide to match your chest measurements accurately.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the clarity of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to premature fabric wear and may affect the longevity of your print or embroidery over time.
Bleaching agents should be avoided. These harsh chemicals break down the cotton fibres and can cause significant discolouration to both the fleece and your meticulously applied logos.
This hoodie should not be tumble dried. High heat in the drying cycle can cause the raglan seams to puck and the fabric to shrink, which could distort your custom design and alter the fit of the garment. Instead, air drying is the most effective way to preserve the hoodie's shape.
When ironing, use a low temperature setting and ensure you do not iron directly over any printed areas. Direct heat can melt the print transfers, while high heat can damage the lustre of embroidery threads. Dry cleaning is not recommended for this garment.
