Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic premium hooded sweat jacket represents a significant evolution in professional mid-layer garments. Designed for modern brands that require a balance between high-quality aesthetics and environmental responsibility, this jacket incorporates CiCLO technology within its fibres. It offers a classic fit that balances comfort with a sharp, professional silhouette, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to upgrade their corporate uniform or event wear.
Constructed with a soft, combed ringspun cotton face, this hooded sweatshirt provides a superior surface for decoration, ensuring that company branding is rendered with precision. The inclusion of a covered metal zip and a single jersey hood lining demonstrates a commitment to detail that sets this garment apart from standard leisurewear.
Key Features
- 100% Combed Ringspun Cotton Face: The outer surface is engineered for smoothness, providing an ideal canvas for intricate embroidery and vibrant print work.
- Covered Metal Zip: The zip is cleverly concealed by the fabric, which not only provides a cleaner look but allows for uninterrupted printing across the chest area.
- CiCLO Fibre Technology: By incorporating CiCLO fibres, this jacket offers a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious businesses without compromising on performance.
- Lycra-Reinforced Ribbing: The 1x1 rib at the cuffs and hem includes Lycra, ensuring the garment retains its shape and professional fit through repeated wear and washing.
- Tear-Away Label: This feature allows for easy rebranding, making it perfect for businesses that wish to place their own internal neck branding.
Design & Performance
This is a heavyweight, substantial garment designed to provide consistent warmth and durability in professional environments. The fabric composition of 70% cotton and 30% polyester (with a slight variation for the Athletic Heather colourway) ensures a blend that is both breathable and hard-wearing. The interior is finished with a brushed fleece, which traps air effectively to provide insulation while remaining soft against the skin.
The double-layered hood consists of the primary sweatshirt fabric on the outside and a lightweight Jersey layer on the inside. This dual-layer construction provides better structure to the hood, preventing it from appearing thin or shapeless. The self-coloured flat drawcord adds a final touch of understated sophistication to the design.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Iconic premium hooded sweat jacket is highly versatile when it comes to branding. For those seeking a traditional, professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. Our in-house team in Telford uses high-tension machinery to ensure that logos and employee names are crisp and durable, standing up to the rigours of daily work.
Alternatively, the covered zip and smooth cotton face make this an excellent candidate for large-scale printing. This method is particularly effective for bold designs or promotional messaging that needs to be visible from a distance. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined the art of garment decoration, ensuring your brand is represented exactly as intended.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles where a smart-casual appearance is required, such as retail supervisors, technical site surveyors, or delivery personnel. Its premium finish also makes it an excellent choice for promotional events, trade shows, or as part of a high-quality staff merchandise range. The broad size range from Small up to 4XL ensures that entire teams can be outfitted in a uniform look regardless of their size.

Practical Advice
For the best results in a professional setting, we recommend layering this hooded sweat jacket over a high-quality polo shirt or T-shirt. The classic fit is generous enough to allow for movement but structured enough to fit comfortably under a heavier waterproof jacket if working outdoors in inclement weather. When selecting sizes, please refer to the 'to fit' chest measurements to ensure a professional, comfortable appearance for all team members.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend washing this garment at or below 40°C. Higher temperatures can degrade the cotton fibres and cause premature fading of printed elements.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will weaken the polyester-cotton blend and can lead to discolouration. If using a tumble dryer, select a low temperature setting to prevent unnecessary shrinkage and to protect the elasticity of the Lycra-reinforced cuffs.
When ironing, use a low temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the decoration. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the industrial solvents used can be too aggressive for the specialised CiCLO fibres and the adhesives used in certain printing processes.
