Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Women's Sweat Parka is a sophisticated take on the traditional zip-up hoody, designed for those who require a blend of casual comfort and professional utility. This garment elevates the standard sweatshirt silhouette with a parka-style extended back, providing additional coverage and a modern aesthetic. Crafted from a substantial brushed fleece, it serves as a versatile outer layer or a reliable mid-layer for professional environments where a standard sweatshirt may lack the necessary presence.
Key Features
- Parka-Style Silhouette: The extended back provides a unique profile and additional protection against the elements, ensuring a more professional look than waist-length alternatives.
- Customisable Fit: An internal drawstring at the hem and ribbed cuffs allow the wearer to adjust the garment to their preference, helping to retain heat and ensure the sleeves stay in place during physical tasks.
- Integrated Hood: The hood offers practical protection against light rain and wind, making it ideal for outdoor site visits or commuting.
- Spacious Kangaroo Pocket: Provides ample room for essential tools or personal items, keeping them accessible while on the job.
- FAMA Certified Production: Manufactured in a factory meeting high standards of facility and merchandise authorisation, ensuring ethical production quality.
Design & Performance
This parka is constructed from a heavyweight brushed fleece blend of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. This specific composition is chosen for its performance characteristics: the high cotton content provides a soft, breathable interior that is comfortable for all-day wear, while the polyester component ensures the garment retains its shape and resists the wear and tear of a busy working environment. The brushed interior adds a layer of thermal insulation without adding excessive bulk, making it an excellent choice for those who need to remain mobile while staying warm.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-quality surface of this sweat parka makes it an exceptional candidate for custom branding. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend our high-density embroidery service for company logos on the chest area. This provides a durable, tactile finish that stands up to repeated washing. Alternatively, for larger, high-impact branding on the back, our precision printing techniques are ideal. With our heritage dating back to 1976, our Telford-based team possesses the technical expertise to ensure your brand is represented with clarity and longevity on this heavyweight fabric.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for female professionals in the creative industries, retail, and logistics sectors. It offers a distinct alternative to standard uniforms for those working in showrooms, management roles on-site, or for staff who require a comfortable yet cohesive brand identity during the colder months.

Practical Advice
Available in an inclusive size range from XS to 5XL, this parka is designed to accommodate various body types. Because of the parka styling, the garment is naturally longer than a standard hoody; we suggest checking our sizing guide to ensure the fit aligns with your layering requirements, particularly if worn over heavy work shirts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the fleece, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature preserves the fibres and ensures that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and intact for the long term.
It is essential to avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the fabric's composition and lead to significant fading of the colour and branding. We also advise against dry cleaning, which can be unnecessarily abrasive for this type of fleece material.
When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the design. Do not tumble dry this garment; the high heat of a dryer can lead to shrinkage and may affect the alignment of your custom logos. Instead, allow it to air dry naturally to maintain its shape and soft handle.
