Design & Performance
The fabric composition is a thoughtful 80/20 blend of ringspun cotton and polyester. The use of ringspun cotton results in a smoother, stronger yarn compared to standard cotton, which translates to a softer feel against the skin and improved longevity. Inside, the fabric is brushed, creating a cosy interior that provides essential warmth in cooler environments.
Performance is further enhanced by the 100% cotton face. This specific construction is intentional; by keeping the exterior surface purely cotton, the garment provides a more stable and receptive base for high-quality decoration, ensuring that logos and designs do not suffer from the 'migration' issues often seen in synthetic-heavy blends.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These sweatpants are an exceptional candidate for customisation. The 100% cotton face fleece is specifically engineered for high-definition results, making it an ideal choice for Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, screen printing, and discharge techniques. For larger, bold branding along the leg, printing offers a vibrant and flexible finish.
Alternatively, for a more traditional and durable finish, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery. This is particularly effective for company logos or staff names near the pocket area, providing a textured, premium look that withstands frequent laundering. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined these processes in-house to ensure your branding remains as resilient as the garment itself.
Use Cases
These midweight sweatpants are highly versatile. They are particularly well-suited for the fitness and wellness industry, delivery personnel who require ease of movement, or as part of a relaxed corporate identity for creative agencies. They also serve as an excellent choice for 'Visionnaire Gifting' during the colder months, providing staff with high-quality loungewear that carries the company brand.

Practical Advice
Available in a comprehensive size range from Small to 3XL, these sweatpants offer a classic fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed feel for physical tasks, we recommend sizing up. The tapered leg ensures that even with a looser fit, the garment remains neat at the ankle. Consider layering these with a Softstyle hoodie for a cohesive and comfortable professional uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and soft handle of your sweatpants, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Lower temperature washing protects the ringspun fibres and ensures that your printed or embroidered logos do not suffer from heat-related degradation.
When bleaching is required, only use non-chlorine agents. Chlorine bleach is overly aggressive and will likely break down the polyester fibres in the blend and fade the garment's colour. For drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to prevent the elasticated waistband and cuffs from losing their tension over time.
Do not iron these sweatpants. The midweight fabric is designed to naturally shed creases, and direct heat from an iron can damage both the brushed interior and any applied customisations. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemical solvents used can compromise the 100% cotton face of the fabric.
