Key Features

- Contemporary Oversized Fit: The boxy silhouette and overlapping shoulders offer a modern, relaxed aesthetic suitable for fashion-forward brands.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from XS up to 5XL, ensuring a consistent team appearance across all body types.
- Professional Crew Neck: The classic ribbed neckline ensures the garment sits correctly and resists stretching over time.
Design & Performance
The Ultra Heavy Cotton Box Tee is engineered for those who require more than a standard lightweight base layer. The heavyweight cotton fabric is exceptionally durable, resisting the thinning and pilling often seen in lighter alternatives. The single jersey knit provides a smooth, flat surface that feels soft against the skin despite its thickness, while the oversized cut allows for maximum airflow and freedom of movement. It is a reliable choice for environments where a more robust garment is necessary.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an exceptional canvas for customisation. Its heavyweight nature makes it particularly well-suited for embroidery; the dense fabric supports intricate needlework without puckering or sagging, resulting in a premium finish for your company logo or staff names. For a more traditional professional appearance, embroidery is the recommended choice.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the single jersey knit is ideal for screen printing or flock techniques. For large, bold designs on the back or chest, print provides a vibrant finish that integrates seamlessly with the fabric. Our Telford-based team, drawing on nearly five decades of expertise since 1976, manages the entire process in-house to ensure your branding meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for creative agencies, retail staff, or tradespeople looking for a more relaxed, modern uniform. It bridges the gap between casual streetwear and professional workwear, making it ideal for event staff or promotional clothing where a premium, sturdy feel is essential to the brand identity.

Practical Advice
Please note that this is a true oversized fit. An XS starts at a 44-inch chest, which is significantly larger than a standard fit. We recommend reviewing the chest measurements carefully; you may find that sizing down provides a more traditional fit, while staying true to size achieves the intended boxy, urban look.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of your heavyweight t-shirt and any applied branding, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C on an easy-care cycle. Using a lower temperature prevents the natural cotton fibres from shrinking and ensures your logos remain sharp and intact for the long term.
Bleaching should be avoided entirely, as harsh chemicals will break down the cotton fibres and cause premature fading of the fabric and your custom designs. When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the heat from damaging the transfer or causing the print to lift.
This garment should not be tumble dried. Allowing it to air dry naturally prevents the mechanical heat from distorting the oversized shape and protects the longevity of the embroidery or print. Finally, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemical processes can be too aggressive for both the heavyweight jersey and the customisation.
