Product Overview
The Build Your Brand BY162 is an exceptionally substantial garment designed for those who require a heavier weight without sacrificing the comfort of natural fibres. Constructed from 100% cotton loopback terry, this hoodie provides a significant physical presence, weighing in as one of the sturdiest options in our collection. It features a modern urban fit, which is even more generous than a standard oversized cut, complemented by extra-long sleeves for a contemporary aesthetic that remains functional in a professional environment.
Key Features
- Generous Large Hood: Provides significant coverage and warmth, maintaining its structure due to the heavy-weight fabric.
- Set-in Sleeves: Offers a more defined shoulder line and professional silhouette compared to drop-shoulder alternatives.
- Kangaroo Pocket: A classic front pocket design that provides a practical space for warming hands or storing light equipment.
- Wide Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: These reinforced edges help the garment retain its shape over time, preventing sagging after repeated wear.
- High-Quality Loopback Terry: The internal structure of the fabric is designed for breathability and comfort against the skin while providing a flat exterior surface perfect for branding.
Design & Performance
This hoodie is engineered for durability. The use of a dense, heavy-weight cotton loopback terry ensures that the garment acts as a robust outer layer in cooler conditions. The fabric is a natural fibre, offering superior breathability compared to synthetic blends, which is essential when moving between active tasks and static environments. The 'urban fit' means the garment provides ample room for movement, making it an excellent choice for tradespeople who require a non-restrictive fit without the bulk of a traditional jacket.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The 100% cotton face of this hoodie makes it an ideal canvas for both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, recommends embroidery for a sophisticated, professional appearance. The dense fabric supports high-stitch-count logos remarkably well, ensuring no puckering or distortion. For larger, high-impact branding, our printing techniques provide a vibrant finish that adheres perfectly to the smooth cotton surface. Whether you require individual names or large company logos, we handle the entire process in-house to maintain our strict quality standards.
Use Cases
Given its modern silhouette and substantial weight, this hoodie is particularly suited for creative agencies, site managers, and delivery crews who want a high-end, contemporary look. It is also an excellent choice for outdoor event staff who need reliable warmth without the formality of a heavy coat.

Practical Advice
Please pay close attention to the sizing guide for this specific item. As it is designed with an 'urban fit', the chest measurements are significantly larger than standard UK sizing—for instance, the Small starts at a 51-inch chest. If you prefer a more traditional fit, you may wish to consider sizing down from your usual choice.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the heavy-weight cotton and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend an easy-care wash at 30°C. Higher temperatures can cause the natural cotton fibres to shrink and may degrade the adhesive used in printed designs.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleaching agents will strip the dye from the fabric and permanently damage any embroidery threads or printed logos, leading to a compromised professional appearance.
We strongly advise against tumble drying. The high heat and mechanical action of a dryer can lead to significant shrinkage in 100% cotton garments and can cause printed logos to crack or peel. Instead, reshape the hoodie while damp and dry it naturally.
When ironing, avoid using a hot setting and do not iron directly over any printed areas. Excessive heat can melt print transfers and flatten the texture of embroidery. A cool iron on the reverse of the garment is the safest method to remove any creases.
