Product Overview
The AWDis Ecologie Iguazu knitted hoodie represents a sophisticated approach to sustainable workwear, blending rugged aesthetics with environmental responsibility. Constructed from a blend of 70% certified regenerated cotton and 30% certified recycled polyester, this hoodie is designed for those who require warmth and durability without compromising on their ecological commitments. The chunky tuck stitch provides a substantial texture that is as functional as it is visually striking, making it a versatile addition to any professional wardrobe.
Key Features
- Regenerated Yarn Composition: By utilising 70% regenerated cotton and 30% recycled polyester, this garment significantly reduces its environmental footprint while maintaining excellent fabric integrity.
- Chunky Tuck Stitch: This specific knitting technique creates a robust, heavy-duty fabric that offers superior insulation during colder periods.
- Two-Tone Colour Effect: The variegated yarn provides a professional, textured appearance that subtly masks minor wear and tear common in active work environments.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: These reinforced sections ensure the hoodie retains its shape over time, preventing sagging and maintaining a sharp silhouette.
- Adjustable Hood: The integrated hood with coordinated drawcords allows for easy adjustment to shield against draughts and light drizzle.
- Tagless Design: The absence of a physical neck tag prevents irritation during long shifts and allows for easy internal branding if required.
Design & Performance
Engineered as part of a heavyweight collection, the Iguazu hoodie features a 7-gauge knit that provides a sturdy and protective layer. The tuck stitch construction not only adds depth to the design but also creates a denser fabric that stands up well to the rigours of daily use. Despite its substantial feel, the high cotton content ensures breathability, while the polyester component adds necessary tensile strength and helps the garment dry more efficiently. The PETA-approved vegan certification ensures that the production process adheres to high ethical standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The textured, chunky nature of this knit makes it an excellent candidate for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses high-precision machinery to ensure your company logo is securely anchored into the knit, providing a three-dimensional, premium look that survives repeated laundering. While the texture is pronounced, the fabric also accepts print for larger, bolder designs that require high visibility. Our in-house experts can advise on the best placement to ensure your branding remains crisp across the tuck stitch surface.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an ideal choice for professionals working in outdoor environments, such as landscaping, site management, or estate maintenance, where a standard sweatshirt may not provide enough warmth. It is equally suited for eco-conscious businesses looking to provide staff with a modern, high-quality uniform that reflects their sustainable values. Its rugged appearance makes it perfect for both active site work and customer-facing roles in cooler climates.

Practical Advice
The Iguazu hoodie is designed with a unisex fit, ranging from XS to 2XL. To ensure the best appearance and comfort, we recommend measuring your chest and referring to our sizing guide; for those who prefer a more relaxed fit for layering over heavy base layers, consider sizing up. The chunky knit provides excellent thermal properties when worn over a moisture-wicking t-shirt.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of this substantial knit, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Higher temperatures can cause the regenerated fibres to degrade prematurely and may lead to unwanted shrinkage of the garment.
Bleaching agents should be avoided at all costs, as they will strip the two-tone colour effect and weaken the recycled polyester strands, leading to a loss of shape. For the same reason, this hoodie must not be tumble dried. Natural air drying is essential to ensure the tuck stitch remains tight and the garment does not become distorted.
If ironing is necessary, use a low setting to avoid scorching the synthetic components of the yarn. Professional dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemicals used can be too harsh for the regenerated cotton blend.
