Henbury ¼ zip jumper

Product Overview

The Henbury zip jumper is a refined addition to any professional wardrobe, designed to provide a modern corporate appearance without sacrificing comfort. Constructed as a fine knit 12-gauge garment, it offers a smooth, lightweight finish that sits comfortably over a collared shirt or under a jacket. The quarter-zip design allows for easy temperature regulation and adds a contemporary touch to the traditional knitted jumper silhouette.

Key Features

• 12-Gauge Fine Knit: The tight, fine-gauge construction creates a smooth surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and exceptionally comfortable for all-day wear.
• Metal Zip and Puller: Unlike plastic alternatives, the metal hardware provides a secure fastening and a premium tactile feel that withstands frequent use.
• Semi-Fashioned Sleeve and Neck: This technical construction technique ensures the garment holds its shape and provides a more tailored fit around the shoulders and neckline.
• Ribbed Hem and Cuffs: The 1x1 ribbing at the extremities helps the jumper retain its shape and prevents the sleeves from riding up during daily tasks.
• Tear-out Brand Label: Allows for easy rebranding or simply ensures there is no irritation at the back of the neck during long shifts.

Design & Performance

Engineered from a balanced 50% cotton and 50% acrylic blend, this jumper offers the best of both worlds. The cotton provides natural breathability and a soft hand-feel against the skin, while the acrylic components ensure the garment maintains its colour vibrancy and structural integrity after multiple washes. The lightweight nature of the knit makes it an ideal layering piece for transitional seasons or air-conditioned office environments where a full jacket might be cumbersome.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery for this specific knitwear. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names directly into the fabric, creating a durable and high-quality appearance that suits the corporate aesthetic. While embroidery is the standard choice for knitwear, the fine gauge of this jumper also allows for specific print applications for larger, bold designs. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques in-house to ensure your branding remains as resilient as the garment itself.

Use Cases

This jumper is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house roles where a polished appearance is mandatory. It is also an excellent choice for sales representatives who require a versatile layer that looks professional during client meetings and remains comfortable during travel.

Practical Advice

With a sizing range spanning from XS to 4XL, this jumper is designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. When selecting your size, consider whether you intend to wear it over a thick Oxford shirt or a lighter polo; those preferring a more relaxed fit for layering may wish to consult our size guide to ensure the 12-gauge knit drapes correctly.

Caring for your product

To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your jumper, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without stressing the cotton-acrylic fibres, ensuring the garment remains soft and retains its shape.

It is essential to wash and dry the jumper inside out and iron only on the reverse side. This protects the outer face of the knit from abrasion and ensures any custom embroidery or print is not damaged by direct heat. We advise against the use of bleach, as this will break down the fibres and cause significant colour loss.

To prevent the jumper from stretching out of shape, it should be dried flat and kept away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can make the fibres brittle. Reshaping the garment while damp is a vital step to ensure it returns to its original dimensions. Do not tumble dry, as the mechanical action and high heat can lead to shrinkage and pilling.
