Product Overview
The Henbury Women's 12-gauge v-neck jumper is a sophisticated staple for any professional wardrobe, balancing a traditional aesthetic with modern garment engineering. Constructed from a balanced blend of 50% cotton and 50% acrylic, this jumper is designed to provide the breathability of natural fibres with the resilience and shape-retention of high-quality synthetics. The fine knit construction ensures a smooth, sleek profile that sits comfortably under a blazer or over a collared shirt, making it an ideal choice for corporate environments, front-of-house staff, or retail teams requiring a polished appearance.
Key Features
- Fine-gauge knit: The 12-gauge construction provides a refined, smooth surface that looks professional and feels exceptionally soft against the skin.
- Semi-fashioned sleeve and neck detail: This high-quality finishing technique involves shaping the garment pieces during the knitting process, resulting in a superior fit and a more premium look than standard cut-and-sew methods.
- Tubular knit waist and cuffs: These reinforced edges help the jumper maintain its structure and prevent the hems from stretching out or sagging after repeated wear.
- Tailored feminine fit: Specially shaped at the waist to provide a flattering silhouette without compromising on comfort or professional modesty.
- Extended size range: Available from XXS to 4XL, ensuring that your entire team can be outfitted in a consistent, professional uniform.
Design & Performance
The performance of this Henbury jumper lies in its technical fabric composition. The 50/50 blend is a deliberate choice for the working professional; the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable during a long shift, while the acrylic provides the necessary durability to withstand the rigours of daily use. It is a medium-to-lightweight garment that offers warmth without bulk. The semi-fashioned armholes and neckline are not merely decorative; they ensure the jumper moves with the wearer, reducing tension on the seams and increasing the overall lifespan of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jumper is an excellent canvas for brand customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we highly recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses precision machinery to stitch logos and names directly into the knit, providing a textured, premium look that withstands industrial laundering. For larger, more vibrant branding, high-quality printing is also an option. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques in-house, ensuring that your company identity is represented with absolute clarity and durability.
Use Cases
This v-neck jumper is perfectly suited for office-based roles, hospitality management, and educational environments. Its smart appearance makes it a reliable choice for trade shows or corporate events where a formal yet approachable look is required. Because it is designed for durability, it is also a practical option for retail staff who need to maintain a high standard of dress while remaining active throughout the day.

Practical Advice
The Henbury v-neck is designed with a feminine fit, so we recommend referring to our size guide to ensure the best silhouette. If you intend to wear a thick cotton shirt underneath, you may wish to consider sizing up for added comfort. This jumper layers beautifully, but to maintain the sleekest look, ensure your base layers are well-pressed to avoid unwanted lines through the fine-gauge knit.
Caring for your product
To ensure your jumper maintains its shape and the integrity of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the specific care guidelines. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without subjecting the cotton-acrylic fibres to excessive heat, which can cause premature wear.
You must avoid using bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the fibres and cause your colours to fade. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; the high heat of a dryer can shrink the knit and damage the elasticity of the tubular cuffs and hem. Instead, we advise drying the jumper flat, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent the garment from stretching out of shape while damp.
When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse side. This protects the outer face of the knit and ensures that any embroidery or print remains in pristine condition. Finally, always wash dark colours separately and use a colour-recommended detergent to prevent dye transfer and keep your uniform looking vibrant for as long as possible.
