Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Classic 80/20 zip neck sweatshirt is a cornerstone of professional workwear, offering a refined silhouette without sacrificing the utility required in a busy working environment. Constructed from a dependable medium-weight fabric, this garment features a cadet collar and a covered metal zip, providing a clean and professional appearance that transitions seamlessly from the office to the job site. The inclusion of single Jersey back neck tape and cotton/Lycra ribbing ensures that the sweatshirt maintains its comfort and shape even after extensive daily wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a superior candidate for both print and embroidery, making it a versatile choice for any business branding. The covered metal zip is a key technical feature here; by concealing the zip teeth, it provides a smooth, continuous surface across the chest that allows for high-definition printing without interruption. For a more traditional, high-end finish, the fabric's stable weave is ideal for embroidery. Whether you require staff names or complex corporate logos, our expert team in Telford—who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976—will ensure a professional result that represents your brand correctly.
Key Features
Cadet collar with single Jersey back neck tape: This design provides a structured look while the internal tape prevents the seam from rubbing, ensuring comfort during long shifts.
Covered metal zip: This feature enhances the printability of the garment and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Cotton/Lycra ribbed waist and cuffs: The addition of Lycra allows the garment to stretch with your movements and return to its original shape, preventing the common issue of baggy sleeves.
Substantial fabric blend: The 80% cotton and 20% polyester mix offers the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing durability of synthetic fibres.
Design & Performance
Designed with the professional in mind, the Fruit of the Loom Classic zip neck sweatshirt is built for durability. The medium-weight fabric provides a significant barrier against the cold without the restrictive bulk of a heavy jacket. The technical 80/20 blend is engineered to withstand the rigours of a manual workplace, offering resistance to pilling and shrinking. The cadet collar can be zipped up for added warmth in outdoor settings or worn open for a more relaxed, breathable fit when indoors.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for a wide range of industries, from logistics and construction to retail and corporate events. It is a popular choice for site supervisors who need to maintain a professional image while being mobile. Its clean design also makes it an excellent choice for team uniforms in service industries where a smart, cohesive look is required.

Practical Advice
The Classic zip neck sweatshirt is available in sizes S to 3XL, catering to a broad range of body types. It is an excellent layering piece; we recommend wearing it over a standard t-shirt for a versatile uniform that can adapt to changing temperatures. For the best fit, we suggest reviewing the chest measurements in our sizing guide, as this style offers a standard fit that is true to size.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your workwear is essential for ensuring it continues to perform and look its best. Regular laundering according to the fabric requirements will help prevent the buildup of dirt that can degrade fibres over time.
To protect your custom branding, we recommend turning the garment inside out before washing. This reduces the friction between the print or embroidery and the washing machine drum, preventing premature wear. Avoiding high-heat drying cycles will also help maintain the shape of the Lycra ribbing and prevent the cotton from shrinking excessively.
