Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the FR803. The single jersey lining in the two-piece hood provides a clean, comfortable finish against the head, while the ribbed sleeve cuffs and hem are designed to retain their shape after repeated wear and laundry cycles. The slightly oversized fit is not merely a stylistic choice; it allows for comfortable layering over base layers or polo shirts without restricting circulation or mobility. The brushed back interior of the fleece is specifically designed to trap heat, providing a reliable thermal barrier in demanding conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavyweight hoodie is an exemplary canvas for customisation. Given the substantial nature of the fabric, embroidery is particularly effective, as the material can support high-stitch-count logos without puckering, resulting in a superior, professional finish. For larger, more graphic-heavy designs, our high-quality printing processes provide vibrant results that stand out against the panelled design. Every customisation project is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This hoodie is perfectly suited for professional environments that demand a balance of comfort and a sharp, modern appearance. It is an excellent choice for site managers, events staff, and technical teams who require warmth during outdoor operations. Its rugby-inspired heritage also makes it a popular selection for premium sports club leisurewear or university societies looking for a garment that is built to last.

Practical Advice
Due to the slightly oversized fit of this garment, we recommend reviewing our size guide carefully. If your team requires a more traditional, tailored fit, you may wish to consider ordering one size smaller than usual. This hoodie layers exceptionally well over technical base layers for maximum thermal efficiency in winter months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of this heavyweight garment, we recommend a synthetic wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature prevents excessive fibre agitation, which helps to maintain the brushed fleece interior and prevents the fabric from becoming thin over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the cotton fibres and lead to premature fading of the contrasting panels. If using a tumble dryer, select a low temperature setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the elasticity of the ribbed cuffs and hem. When ironing, use a medium heat setting and always iron on the reverse of the fabric to protect any custom print or embroidery from direct heat damage.
For best results, wash and dry the garment inside out and reshape it while damp. Drying the hoodie out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources like radiators will prevent the dark colours from fading and ensure the fabric remains supple rather than becoming brittle.
