Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Supercotton hooded sweatshirt is a substantial garment designed for those who require more from their workwear than a standard top. Constructed from a high-quality blend of cotton and polyester, this heavyweight hoodie provides an optimal balance of warmth and durability. Its classic fit ensures that the wearer maintains freedom of movement throughout the day, while the soft-brushed fleece interior offers a refined level of comfort that is essential during colder shifts or outdoor duties.
Key Features
- The double-fabric hood provides extra insulation and maintains its structure even after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
- A spacious front kangaroo pocket offers convenient storage for essential tools or a place to protect hands from the elements.
- The 1x1 rib cuffs and waistband are engineered with elastane to ensure the garment retains its shape and effectively prevents drafts from entering.
- A tear-away label allows for easy rebranding or simply eliminates neck irritation for the wearer.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is a primary component of the heavyweight collection, meaning it is engineered to withstand the rigours of a demanding working environment. The 70% cotton and 30% polyester composition is a deliberate choice; the high cotton content provides natural breathability and a soft handle, while the polyester adds necessary tensile strength and colour retention. The interior is finished with a soft-brushed fleece, which effectively traps air to provide thermal insulation without the need for excessive layering.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The dense, heavyweight weave of this Supercotton hoodie makes it an exceptional canvas for both print and embroidery. For a refined and durable corporate identity, embroidery is the preferred choice for chest logos or staff names, as the substantial fabric easily supports high-density stitching without puckering or distortion. If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics for promotional visibility, our precision printing techniques will deliver a sharp, long-lasting finish.
All customisation is carried out by our expert in-house team in Telford. MyWorkwear has been refining these processes since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with the technical expertise and attention to detail your business deserves.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for tradespeople working in unheated environments, warehouse staff, or delivery personnel who need a reliable outer layer. It also serves as an excellent choice for high-quality corporate uniforms where a professional yet functional appearance is required.

Practical Advice
With a size range spanning from Small to 4XL, this hoodie caters to a wide variety of body types. We recommend checking the sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit, particularly if you intend to layer this over other garments. The classic fit is generous, allowing for natural movement during physical tasks without being overly baggy.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at no higher than 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can cause the cotton fibres to shrink and may eventually degrade the quality of any custom branding.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs. Bleaching agents will strip the dye from the fabric and can cause permanent damage to the fibres, as well as ruin any embroidered or printed logos.
When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting. Excessive heat in the dryer can lead to garment shrinkage and may cause printed designs to crack or lose their adhesion over time.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent melting or distortion. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process are not compatible with the fabric or the customisation techniques used.
