Design & Performance
Constructed with a focus on longevity, the HB840 is a substantial sweatshirt designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The blend of 60% regenerated cotton and 40% recycled polyester provides a balance of natural breathability and synthetic durability. The set-in sleeves offer a more tailored look compared to raglan styles, contributing to a sharper appearance in a professional environment. The back neck tape adds an additional layer of reinforcement to a high-stress area, preventing the neckline from sagging or losing its form after repeated laundry cycles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a versatile canvas for your brand identity, supporting both embroidery and print processes. Embroidery is particularly recommended for corporate logos and staff names, providing a durable and polished appearance that reflects high standards. For those requiring larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing techniques ensure your design remains bold and clear.
All customisation is managed by our experienced in-house team at our Telford facility. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined the art of garment decoration, ensuring that every stitch and print meets our exacting standards of quality and durability.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt features a regular fit, which allows for comfortable layering over polo shirts or t-shirts. Given the wide size range from XS to 4XL, we recommend consulting our size guide to ensure a correct fit, particularly when ordering for large teams. The recycled fibers are resilient, but like all high-quality fleeces, they benefit from being washed with similar textures to maintain the smooth outer finish.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the regenerated cotton and recycled polyester fibers, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Maintaining the garment's performance ensures it remains a viable part of your uniform for as long as possible.
We recommend a machine wash at 30°C using a synthetics cycle. High temperatures can damage the recycled polyester fibers and lead to premature wear or shrinkage. Using a lower temperature also helps preserve the colour of the garment and any applied branding.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the fabric structure and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried. Natural drying away from direct sunlight is the best method to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle or losing its shape.
If ironing is required, use a low setting and always iron on the reverse of the fabric. This is critical if the sweatshirt has been customized, as direct heat can melt or distort print and embroidery. Avoid dry cleaning with Trichloroethylene to prevent chemical damage to the sustainable blend.
