Design & Performance
The performance of the Lusaka hoodie is rooted in its thoughtful material composition. The blend of 70% regenerated cotton and 30% recycled polyester creates a durable fabric that manages the demands of a busy workday. The French terry weave is specifically chosen for its temperature-regulating properties; the looped underside traps air for warmth, while the medium-weight finish ensures the garment remains breathable. This unisex style is designed to provide a consistent appearance across a diverse workforce, ensuring everyone on your team looks uniform and professional.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fabric surface of the EA040 is particularly well-suited for high-quality customisation. For businesses seeking a traditional and long-lasting finish, embroidery is the ideal choice for logos on the chest or sleeves, providing a textured, premium look that withstands repeated laundering. Alternatively, for larger, more impactful designs, the smooth face of the French terry is perfect for printing, allowing for sharp details and vibrant colours. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been managing these technical processes since 1976, ensuring that every stitch and print reflects the quality of your brand.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an excellent choice for teams in creative agencies, retail environments, and the service sector who want to project an eco-conscious image. Its clean lines also make it suitable for event staff or as part of a modern corporate uniform where a standard sweatshirt might feel too traditional. Its sustainable credentials make it a standout choice for organisations prioritising environmental responsibility.

Practical Advice
The Lusaka hoodie is available in a broad size range from XS to 2XL. To ensure the best fit for your team, we recommend checking chest measurements against our sizing guide, as the unisex cut is designed to be comfortable but structured. This garment layers effectively over a technical base layer or a standard polo shirt for added warmth in cooler conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the regenerated cotton and recycled polyester blend, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature prevents the fibres from breaking down prematurely and ensures your custom embroidery or print remains vibrant for as long as possible.
Do not use bleach, as this will damage the fabric's recycled fibres and can cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your branding. We also advise against dry cleaning, which uses harsh chemicals that can compromise the garment's finish.
This hoodie should not be tumble dried. Allowing the garment to air dry naturally will prevent shrinkage and help the ribbed cuffs and hem retain their elasticity. If ironing is required, use a low setting and avoid direct contact with any printed elements to prevent the design from lifting or scorching.
