Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic premium set-in sweatshirt represents a significant advancement in sustainable workwear without compromising on the substantial feel required for the British workplace. This heavyweight sweatshirt is engineered with a classic fit and a traditional crew neck, providing a silhouette that is both timeless and practical for daily use. Its focus on quality is evident in the choice of materials, combining a high-cotton blend with innovative CiCLO technology to address environmental responsibility while maintaining the durability expected from a premium garment.
Key Features
- 100% Combed Ringspun Cotton Face: This specific construction creates an exceptionally smooth and consistent surface, which is technically superior for both high-definition printing and intricate embroidery.
- Brushed Inner Fleece: The interior has been brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that traps warmth, making it ideal for colder working environments.
- CiCLO Fibre Technology: These fibres are designed to behave like natural fibres if they end up in the environment, reducing synthetic microplastic persistence.
- Lycra-Reinforced Ribbing: The use of 1x1 ribbing with Lycra at the cuffs and hem ensures the garment retains its shape and elasticity, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior sweatshirts.
- Tear-Away Label: For businesses looking to rebrand, the easily removable label allows for a clean finish without risking damage to the neck seam.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Iconic premium sweatshirt focuses on structural integrity. By utilizing a heavy-weight fabric blend of cotton and polyester, the garment offers the natural breathability of cotton alongside the crease-resistance and strength of polyester. The set-in sleeves provide a more tailored look compared to raglan styles, ensuring a professional appearance even in a manual labour setting. The addition of CiCLO fibres indicates a forward-thinking approach to textile engineering, ensuring that your workforce can be equipped with garments that are as responsible as they are robust.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a versatile canvas for your company branding. The 100% combed ringspun cotton face is the gold standard for decoration; the lack of stray fibres ensures that ink adheres perfectly during the printing process and that embroidery needles can penetrate the fabric without snagging. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this heavyweight fabric, providing a long-lasting, prestigious finish for company logos. For larger, more vibrant promotional graphics, our Telford-based team can utilise advanced printing techniques to ensure your brand stands out clearly.
Use Cases
Given its substantial weight and professional finish, this sweatshirt is perfectly suited for corporate uniforms across a variety of sectors, including logistics, light manufacturing, and the trade industries. Its inclusion in the P&P 2026 Event Collection also makes it a premier choice for high-end promotional events where garment quality is a direct reflection of the brand value. With sizes ranging up to 4XL, it is an inclusive option for entire workforces.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt is designed with a classic fit, providing enough room for layering over a polo shirt or a base layer during winter months. If you are between sizes or prefer a more generous fit for physical tasks that involve a high range of motion, we suggest reviewing the chest measurements provided. The heavyweight fabric is sturdy, so it holds its shape well even after multiple shifts.
Caring for your product
To ensure your sweatshirt and its custom branding remain in peak condition, we recommend a domestic wash at a temperature of 40°C or below. Washing at higher temperatures can stress the cotton fibres and may lead to premature fading of the fabric and any printed elements.
Avoid the use of bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the fabric structure and destroy the colour integrity of the garment. When drying, use a low temperature setting on your tumble dryer; excessive heat is the primary cause of shrinkage and can damage the Lycra-reinforced ribbing, leading to a loss of shape.
If ironing is required, use a low temperature and avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered areas. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the solvents used in the process are not compatible with the fabric blend and may affect the performance of the CiCLO fibres.
