Product Overview
The Craghoppers Wakefield pocket workwear t-shirt is a robust addition to any professional uniform, engineered to withstand the rigours of daily labour while maintaining a high standard of comfort. Constructed from a substantial Jersey fabric, this t-shirt provides a significant step up in quality from standard lightweight alternatives.

Key Features
- Organic Cotton Fabric: The use of organic cotton ensures a soft hand-feel against the skin while providing the breathability required for physical work.

- Ethically Produced: Being REACH compliant and manufactured in ETI factories, this garment meets stringent international standards for safety and ethics.
Design & Performance
This is a heavyweight garment designed for those who require a t-shirt that can endure more than just a single season. The relaxed fit allows for a full range of movement, which is critical for tradespeople who are constantly on the move. The fabric is dense and sturdy, providing a more structured silhouette than cheaper, thinner garments. This weight also ensures the t-shirt retains its shape after repeated laundering, a vital consideration for any work-issued clothing.
The inclusion of viscose in the marl versions adds a slight resilience and a textured finish, while the solid colours provide the pure, classic feel of 100% organic cotton. Performance is further enhanced by the fabric’s natural ability to regulate temperature, complemented by technical treatments that manage moisture and odour effectively.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The substantial nature of the Wakefield t-shirt makes it an ideal canvas for customisation. Its heavyweight Jersey construction provides a stable base for embroidery, allowing high-stitch-count logos to sit flat without pulling or puckering the surrounding fabric. This results in a crisp, professional appearance that elevates your brand identity.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant displays of branding, the smooth surface of the organic cotton is equally suited to high-quality printing. Whether you are looking for subtle staff names or bold company logos, our in-house team in Telford—who have been perfecting this craft since 1976—will ensure your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for tradespeople such as carpenters, electricians, and site supervisors who need a reliable base layer that can stand up to site conditions. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff or delivery drivers who require a professional look that doesn't compromise on comfort or hygiene during physically demanding tasks.

Practical Advice
Given the relaxed fit of this garment, it serves exceptionally well as a standalone piece in warmer weather or as a substantial base layer beneath a fleece or work jacket when temperatures drop. We recommend checking the sizing guide carefully, as the generous cut is designed to allow for ease of movement during manual tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the organic cotton and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Lower temperatures help prevent fabric shrinkage and preserve the vibrancy of the dyes.
It is important to wash this garment with similar colours to avoid any colour transfer. Please refrain from using bleach or water softeners, as these harsh chemicals can break down the natural fibres and damage any applied print or embroidery.
The use of fabric conditioners should also be avoided, as they can interfere with the anti-odour and moisture-management treatments. Finally, do not tumble dry this t-shirt; allowing it to air dry naturally will prevent unnecessary wear and tear, ensuring the garment serves you well for the long term.
