Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Premium hooded sweatshirt jacket is a refined take on a workwear staple, engineered to provide a professional appearance without sacrificing the comfort required for a full day's labour. Constructed from a high-quality blend of cotton and polyester, this medium-weight garment serves as an ideal outer layer for various sectors, including trade, tourism, and event management. The inclusion of a covered metal zip distinguishes it from standard hoodies, providing a sleek, uninterrupted surface that is particularly well-suited for high-quality branding.
Key Features
- Double-Fabric Hood: Provides extra warmth and maintains its shape over time, ensuring you look professional even in colder conditions.
- Covered Metal Zip: This design choice offers an enhanced surface for printing across the chest, preventing the zip from interfering with your company logo.
- Cotton/Elastane Ribbed Waist and Cuffs: The addition of elastane ensures the garment retains its shape and fit, preventing the cuffs from sagging after repeated wear.
- Single Jersey Back Neck Tape: Enhances wearer comfort by covering the seam, reducing irritation during long shifts.
- Two Front Pouch Pockets: Offers practical storage for essential tools or a convenient place to keep hands warm between tasks.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 70% cotton and 30% polyester strikes a deliberate balance between natural comfort and synthetic resilience. The high cotton content ensures the sweatshirt remains breathable and soft against the skin, while the polyester component provides the necessary structural integrity to withstand the rigours of a working environment. This medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to provide warmth but versatile enough to be worn comfortably indoors or as part of a layering system.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt jacket is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. The covered zip is a significant advantage for those requiring large-scale printed designs across the front, as it allows for a more seamless finish. For a more traditional and prestigious look, embroidery is highly recommended for breast logos or staff names. Our in-house team in Telford, backed by nearly five decades of experience since 1976, ensures that every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional standards your business demands.
Use Cases
Given its clean lines and premium finish, this garment is perfectly suited for client-facing tradespeople, hospitality staff working in cooler environments, or as part of a high-quality event uniform. Its durability also makes it a sensible choice for general industrial use where a full-zip hoodie is preferred over a pullover for ease of removal.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt jacket is designed with a standard fit, ranging from S to 4XL. For those working in particularly active roles, the elastane-reinforced cuffs will help keep sleeves in place. It layers effectively over a technical polo shirt or under a more robust waterproof jacket when the British weather inevitably takes a turn for the worse.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this garment, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Following this temperature guide ensures the fabric's integrity is preserved and helps prevent your custom branding from losing its vibrancy.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this item. Aggressive bleaching agents will break down the cotton fibres and lead to premature fading, which is rarely the look a professional business wishes to project.
If you choose to tumble dry, please use a low heat setting. High temperatures in the dryer can cause the garment to shrink and may damage the elasticity in the cuffs and waistband. For the best results, air drying is always preferable.
When ironing, use a cool setting (one dot). It is essential to avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered logos, as the heat can melt print transfers or distort the embroidery thread. Turning the garment inside out before ironing is a wise precaution.
Finally, do not dry clean this sweatshirt. The chemicals used in the dry cleaning process are not compatible with the 70/30 blend and may compromise the finish of the fabric and any applied customisation.
