Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Premium sweatshirt jacket is a sophisticated and practical layering solution designed for professionals who require both comfort and a smart appearance. Combining the casual feel of a sweatshirt with the structural utility of a jacket, this medium-weight garment is an essential addition to any corporate or promotional wardrobe. Its design features a sleek cadet collar and a full-length covered metal zip, ensuring you remain warm while maintaining an authoritative presence on the job.
Key Features
- Cadet collar with jersey neck tape: The single jersey back neck tape provides a smooth finish against the skin, preventing irritation and ensuring the collar holds its shape throughout the working day.
- Covered metal zip: The zip is cleverly concealed by the fabric, which not only provides a cleaner look but creates a continuous surface across the chest, making it an ideal choice for unobstructed custom branding.
- Welt front pockets: Two integrated front pockets offer convenient storage for everyday essentials without adding unnecessary bulk to the garment's profile.
- Cotton and Elastane ribs: The inclusion of elastane in the waist and cuff ribs ensures the jacket retains its shape and fit, preventing the garment from stretching out after frequent use.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a 70% cotton and 30% polyester blend, this sweatshirt jacket offers the best of both worlds: the natural breathability and softness of cotton paired with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. A standout technical feature is the 100% cotton face. This specific construction is vital for achieving a high-quality finish, as the smooth cotton surface allows for more precise ink absorption and thread placement than standard blends.
The medium-weight fabric provides enough substance to offer warmth in cooler environments while remaining light enough to be worn comfortably indoors or as part of a layering system. It is a durable, well-engineered garment that can withstand the demands of a busy work schedule without losing its professional edge.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt jacket is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery, thanks to its high cotton content and covered zip design. For businesses looking to achieve a traditional, high-end professional look, embroidery is the recommended choice for logos and staff names. The stable fabric weight ensures that even intricate needlework remains crisp and secure.
If your branding requires large, bold graphics, the covered zip allows for expansive print designs to be applied across the front of the jacket without the interruption of metal hardware.

Practical Advice
The Premium sweatshirt jacket offers a standard fit ranging from Small to 2XL. When selecting your size, consider what you will be wearing underneath; if you plan to layer this over a thick polo shirt or a thermal base layer, you may wish to review the sizing measurements to ensure a comfortable fit. It serves as an excellent mid-layer beneath a heavier waterproof jacket in harsh weather conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure your sweatshirt jacket continues to perform and look its best, it is important to follow the recommended care instructions. We advise a domestic machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective at removing dirt while protecting the integrity of the cotton fibres and ensuring your custom branding remains vibrant.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Bleaching agents are too aggressive for the 70/30 blend and will cause the fabric to weaken and the colours to fade prematurely. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry setting is recommended to prevent any potential shrinkage and to protect the printed or embroidered elements.
If the garment requires ironing, use a low heat setting (one dot). Always avoid direct contact between the iron and any customised areas, as the heat can damage the print or distort the embroidery threads. Finally, do not dry clean this jacket, as the chemicals used in the process can be detrimental to both the fabric blend and the longevity of the custom branding.
