Product Overview
The Finden & Hales ¼ Zip Long Sleeve Piped Fleece is a masterclass in functional layering, designed to provide warmth without the restrictive bulk of traditional outdoor wear. Constructed from a lightweight polar fleece, this garment serves as an ideal intermediate layer for active professionals who require a uniform that balances temperature regulation with a polished appearance. The contrast piping and zip details offer a distinct, athletic aesthetic that elevates the standard workplace fleece, ensuring your team looks as professional as they perform.
Key Features
- Anti-Pill Polar Fleece: The fabric has been specifically treated to resist the formation of small bobbles, ensuring the garment maintains its smooth texture and professional finish through repeated wear and washing.
- Contrast Zip and Piping: These detailed accents provide a sharp, coordinated look that helps your brand stand out while maintaining a structured silhouette.
- Set-in Sleeves: Unlike raglan styles, the set-in sleeves provide a more traditional, tailored fit across the shoulders, enhancing the professional profile of the wearer.
- Quarter-Zip Styling: The zip collar allows for easy temperature adjustment, making it suitable for transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of this fleece lies in its 100% polyester construction. By utilising a lightweight polar fleece fabric, Finden & Hales have created a garment that traps air effectively to provide insulation while remaining highly breathable. This makes it particularly effective for high-activity roles where heavy outerwear would lead to overheating. The durability of the fabric ensures it can withstand the rigours of a busy working day, while the anti-pill finish prevents the 'tired' look often associated with lower-quality fleece materials.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the specific texture of polar fleece, this garment is suited exclusively for embroidery. The soft, lofted surface of the fabric is not conducive to heat-applied prints, which may not adhere correctly or could damage the pile. Embroidery, however, provides a premium, long-lasting branding solution. Our in-house embroidery team, backed by expertise dating back to 1976, uses high-quality threads to ensure your logo is rendered with precision. The stitching sinks slightly into the fleece, creating a sophisticated, textured look that will remain intact for the life of the garment.
Use Cases
This fleece is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is particularly well-suited for sports and leisure staff, delivery drivers, and site managers who require a professional appearance while remaining mobile. Given its lightweight nature, it functions perfectly as a standalone piece in milder weather or as a thermal layer under a waterproof jacket during the winter months.

Practical Advice
This unisex fleece is available in a wide size range from XS to 2XL. We recommend reviewing the sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear it over a polo shirt or base layer. If your role involves significant physical activity, the set-in sleeves provide a structured fit that stays in place, though we advise ensuring there is enough room across the chest for full range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your fleece, we recommend a domestic synthetic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and sweat while protecting the polyester fibres from heat damage. Always wash the garment inside out and with similar dark colours to prevent any lint transfer or colour bleeding.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause discolouration. While this item can be tumble dried, we suggest using a low heat setting to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle. If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side only. Never iron directly over the embroidery, as the heat can melt the polyester threads used in your logo, causing permanent damage.
Finally, do not dry clean this garment. The harsh chemicals used in the dry cleaning process can strip the anti-pill treatment and affect the integrity of the fleece fabric.
