Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic premium hooded sweatshirt represents a refined evolution in heavy-duty leisurewear, engineered for both comfort and professional utility. This garment features a classic fit that balances ease of movement with a sharp, professional silhouette. The inclusion of a 100% combed ringspun cotton face ensures a superior finish, providing a smooth, high-density canvas for branding while the brushed inner fleece offers essential thermal insulation for cooler environments.
Key Features
The single Jersey hood lining provides a smooth, consistent interior feel, preventing friction and enhancing user comfort during extended shifts.
A self-coloured flat drawcord offers a cohesive aesthetic, maintaining a clean, professional appearance without distracting hardware.
The classic kangaroo pocket provides practical storage for small tools or personal items while acting as a reliable hand warmer in outdoor settings.
Constructed with 1x1 ribbing at the cuffs and hem, featuring Lycra to ensure the garment retains its shape and elasticity after repeated laundry cycles.
A tear-away label allows for seamless rebranding, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to apply their own bespoke internal tagging.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is engineered from a heavy-duty cotton and polyester blend, specifically designed to withstand the rigours of a daily work schedule. The fabric incorporates CiCLO fibres, an innovative technology that allows synthetic fibres to behave more like natural materials when they reach the end of their lifecycle in the environment, supporting your company’s sustainability goals without compromising on durability.
The soft yet firm structure is achieved through a dual-layer approach: a robust sweatshirt outer layer and a soft Jersey lining. This combination ensures the garment maintains its structural integrity while providing the high-performance moisture management associated with high-quality cotton blends. The brushed interior fleece provides a substantial feel and excellent heat retention for those working in unheated environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The 100% combed ringspun cotton face of this hooded sweatshirt makes it an exceptional candidate for both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring corporate identity, our Telford-based embroidery team can apply high-stitch-count logos that offer a textured, premium finish. This method is particularly effective for small chest logos or individual staff names where a professional appearance is paramount.
Alternatively, if your branding requires high-impact visuals or larger promotional graphics, the smooth surface of the fabric is perfectly suited for screen printing or heat transfers. Our expert team, operating in Telford since 1976, ensures that every application is calibrated to the specific fabric composition, ensuring your brand stays vibrant and intact through heavy usage.
Use Cases
This hooded sweatshirt is versatile enough for site supervisors, delivery drivers, or staff working in temperature-controlled warehouses. Its professional finish also makes it suitable for customer-facing roles in the events and promotional sectors, where a cohesive yet comfortable uniform appearance is required for team identification.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt is cut in a classic fit, offering ample room for layering over a polo shirt or t-shirt during the winter months. If you are between sizes, we recommend reviewing the chest measurements to ensure the best fit for your specific role. The Lycra-infused ribbing ensures that the sleeves stay in place when pushed up for more manual, hands-on tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend washing this garment at a temperature no higher than 40°C. Higher temperatures can degrade the cotton fibres over time, leading to premature wear and fading of the fabric colour.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents will damage the fabric’s dye and can compromise the integrity of any printed or embroidered logos. If machine drying, select a low temperature setting to prevent excessive shrinkage and protect the elasticity of the Lycra ribbing at the cuffs and waist.
When ironing, use a low temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the transfer material from melting or peeling. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved may react with the CiCLO fibres and the adhesive components used in professional printing designs.
