Product Overview
The Finden & Hales zip mid-layer is an expertly engineered garment designed for those who require a balance of professional appearance and functional performance. This mid-layer features a sophisticated stand-up collar and striking contrast panelling along the sides and sleeves, providing a modern silhouette that transitions seamlessly from active work environments to leisure settings. Constructed with a focus on movement, it incorporates a reversed nylon coil zip with a lock-down slider to ensure the fastening remains secure, regardless of your activity level.
Key Features
- Contrast Side and Sleeve Panelling: These panels are not merely aesthetic; they provide a structured fit and enhanced durability in high-wear areas.
- Concealed Right-Hand Pocket: Discreetly integrated into the panel seam, this pocket offers secure storage for small essentials without disrupting the garment’s clean lines.
- Stretch Binding at Cuffs and Hem: The contrast colour binding ensures a comfortable, secure fit that moves with the body while retaining the garment's shape over time.
- Tear-out Label: Designed for easy rebranding, this feature is particularly useful for businesses looking to apply their own internal neck branding without the discomfort of original tags.
Design & Performance
The garment is crafted from a high-quality 100% polyester single Jersey fabric, chosen for its soft-touch finish and moisture-managing properties. While the main body is made from a lightweight material for breathability, the contrast panels utilize a more substantial, medium-weight fabric to provide additional structure where it is needed most. This combination ensures the wearer remains comfortable during physical exertion while maintaining a sharp, professional profile.
The inclusion of a reversed nylon coil zip is a deliberate choice for reliability; the lock-down slider prevents the zip from sliding during movement, which is essential for active professionals. The fabric's single jersey construction offers a smooth surface that feels gentle against the skin, making it an ideal choice for long shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This mid-layer is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to showcase your brand with precision. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional finish on the chest or collar, providing a durable and high-quality representation of company logos. For larger, more vibrant designs, our high-definition printing processes are exceptionally effective on this polyester surface.
All customisation is carried out at our dedicated facility in Telford. With MyWorkwear’s expertise dating back to 1976, our in-house team ensures that every stitch and every print meets our rigorous standards for quality and longevity.

Practical Advice
This garment is designed with a standard fit and is available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL. To ensure the best fit, we recommend measuring your chest and referring to our size guide; for example, a Medium is tailored to fit a 38/40-inch chest. This mid-layer works effectively when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer or under a heavier waterproof jacket in more adverse weather conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this garment, we recommend a 40°C synthetic wash. This temperature effectively removes oils and dirt without compromising the integrity of the polyester fibres or the custom branding.
Bleach should never be used, as it will degrade the fabric and cause significant discolouration to the contrast panels. Similarly, do not dry clean this item, as the harsh chemicals can damage the technical finish of the jersey material.
We advise against the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and reduce the moisture-wicking properties of the garment. To dry, simply hang the garment; avoid tumble drying to prevent any potential shrinkage or damage to the zip and logos.
If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting on the reverse of the garment. This prevents heat damage to the fabric's surface and ensures any print or embroidery remains in pristine condition.
