Product Overview
The Gildan Softstyle midweight fleece adult hoodie is a staple for the modern professional wardrobe, offering a balance of comfort and structural integrity. This medium-weight garment is crafted from a ringspun cotton blend, providing a smooth exterior and a plush, brushed interior that ensures warmth without excessive bulk. Designed with a classic fit and a tubular body, it offers a consistent silhouette that performs well in diverse work environments, from the warehouse to the site office.
Key Features
The tear-away label is a simple but effective addition that removes the risk of neck irritation, allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
A two-piece, colour-matched, Jersey fabric-lined hood provides a more tailored look and extra warmth for outdoor applications.
The 1x1 rib with Spandex on the cuffs and bottom band is engineered for enhanced stretch and recovery, ensuring the garment retains its shape despite frequent movement.
Dropped shoulders allow for a more natural range of motion, reducing resistance when lifting or reaching during manual labour.
By utilising cotton from sources that support ethical farming, this hoodie allows your business to maintain high standards of corporate social responsibility.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester, this hoodie leverages the natural softness of cotton with the durability of synthetic fibres. The 100% cotton face is particularly noteworthy, providing a dense and stable surface that is exceptionally well-suited for high-quality branding. The internal brushed fleece is designed to trap heat efficiently, making it an excellent choice for a mid-layer in colder climates. The addition of a functional pouch pocket provides a convenient space for basic tools or keeping hands warm between tasks.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
While the fabric face is remarkably smooth, the plush, brushed nature of the fleece interior makes this garment an ideal candidate for embroidery only. Embroidery provides a durable and prestigious finish that anchors firmly into the weave of the hoodie. Our Telford-based team has been perfecting the art of the stitch since 1976, ensuring that your company logo is rendered with precision. An embroidered logo on this medium-weight fabric offers a three-dimensional quality that resists the wear and tear of daily work life far better than other decoration methods.
Use Cases
This hoodie is a versatile choice for tradespeople, delivery drivers, and service engineers who require a uniform that is both professional and practical. Its inclusive size range, extending from Small up to 5XL, ensures that every member of your team can be accommodated with a uniform that fits correctly. It is also an excellent option for corporate events or as part of a standardised staff uniform for those working in temperature-controlled environments.

Practical Advice
This hoodie features a classic fit, which is generous enough to accommodate a t-shirt or polo shirt underneath. If you are operating in particularly cold conditions, we recommend pairing this medium-weight layer with a thermal base. The tubular construction means there are no side seams, which reduces the risk of chafing during high-activity shifts.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of both the fabric and your embroidered logo, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Using a cooler cycle prevents the cotton fibres from shrinking and helps maintain the tension of the embroidery threads.
Non-chlorine bleach should be used if necessary; however, standard chlorine bleach will weaken the fabric and likely ruin the colour of your branding. Tumble drying should only be done on a low heat setting to avoid damaging the Spandex in the ribbing, which could lead to saggy cuffs. Do not iron this garment, as the direct heat can flatten the fleece and distort the embroidered logo. Finally, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the harsh chemicals can strip the soft finish from the cotton blend.
