Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Sweat College Jacket is a sophisticated take on a classic varsity silhouette, designed for those who require a professional yet relaxed aesthetic. Combining the timeless appeal of a preppy, campus-inspired look with the practical warmth of a sweatshirt, this garment serves as a versatile outer layer for various work environments. The contrast striped ribbing on the collar, hem, and sleeves provides a sharp visual definition, while the metal press-buttons add a touch of traditional quality that plastic alternatives cannot match.
Key Features
- Metal Press-Buttons: These provide a secure and durable closure that withstands frequent use, maintaining a classic look better than standard zips.
- Striped Rib Cuffs and Collar: The contrast detailing offers a structured fit and ensures the sleeves stay in place during physical tasks.
- Two Front Pockets: Conveniently located for storing essential items or keeping hands warm in colder environments.
- Neck Half-Moon and Tape: These internal reinforcements prevent the neckline from stretching or losing shape over time.
- FAMA Certified Production: Manufactured in a facility that meets high standards of merchandise authorisation, ensuring ethical and quality production.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 65% cotton and 35% polyester, this jacket is engineered for both comfort and longevity. The cotton-rich exterior provides a soft feel and excellent breathability, while the polyester component ensures the garment retains its shape and resists pilling after repeated washes. Internally, the brushed fleece fabric offers substantial insulation, making it a reliable choice for cooler mornings or temperature-controlled warehouses.
The set-in sleeves provide a more formal, tailored fit across the shoulders compared to raglan styles, which helps maintain a professional silhouette. Furthermore, the inclusion of a tear-out tag makes this jacket an excellent choice for companies looking to fully rebrand the garment as their own internal uniform line.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is specifically designed to accommodate high-quality customisation. For those seeking a sophisticated appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. The substantial fabric weight provides a stable base for dense stitch counts, allowing company logos or individual names to be rendered with precision and depth. This method is particularly effective for the chest area, creating a permanent, high-quality finish that lasts the life of the garment.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the cotton blend is ideal for print applications. Printing is the preferred choice for larger, bold designs or promotional messages across the back of the jacket. Whether you choose screen printing or heat transfer, our in-house team in Telford—drawing on expertise since 1976—ensures your branding is applied with technical accuracy.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for modern office environments, hospitality staff, or creative teams who require a uniform that balances casual style with a cohesive brand identity. It is also a popular choice for promotional events and university societies, where a high-quality, recognisable garment is needed to represent a group or business.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this jacket ranges from S up to 5XL, offering an inclusive fit for entire workforces. When choosing your size, consider that the brushed fleece interior provides a slightly snugger feel than a standard single-layer shirt. If your staff will be wearing this over multiple layers, such as a thick polo shirt or jumper, you may wish to consult our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit across the chest and shoulders.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your college jacket, we recommend a mild machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to preserve the integrity of the brushed fleece lining and prevents the cotton fibres from shrinking, which ensures the jacket continues to fit as intended.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric fibres and lead to significant fading of the contrast colours. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the chemical processes involved can be too harsh for the poly-cotton blend and may affect the adhesion of printed logos.
Do not tumble dry this garment. High heat from a tumble dryer can cause the elasticated striped cuffs to lose their tension and may result in the metal buttons becoming damaged. Instead, reshape the jacket while damp and allow it to air dry naturally. If ironing is required, use a low temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered branding to prevent heat damage.
