Just Hoods Heavyweight hoodie

Product Overview

The AWDis Just Hoods Heavyweight Hoodie is a substantial garment designed for those who require both warmth and a professional finish. This over-the-head style is far from a standard leisure item; it is a well-engineered piece of workwear constructed from a high-quality cotton-rich blend. With its relaxed fit and brushed inner fleece, it provides significant thermal insulation for colder environments without compromising on comfort. The inclusion of a tear-out label makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to fully rebrand their staff uniforms with a bespoke feel.

Key Features

• Three-Panel Hood with Jersey Lining: The three-panel construction provides a more ergonomic shape and superior fit compared to standard two-panel designs, while the jersey lining adds an extra layer of comfort against the head.
• Twin-Needle Stitching: This reinforced stitching method is applied throughout the garment to ensure seams remain intact even under the stresses of daily manual work.
• Kangaroo Pouch Pocket with Flat Lock Detail: A functional front pocket offers convenient storage and hand warmth, reinforced with flat lock stitching for a sleek, durable finish.
• Heavyweight Fabric: The substantial weight of the material ensures the hoodie retains its shape over time and provides a solid barrier against the elements.
• Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: The 2x1 ribbed finish at the extremities ensures a secure fit that prevents heat from escaping and keeps the sleeves in place during tasks.

Design & Performance

The performance of this hoodie lies in its technical composition of 70% ringspun cotton and 30% polyester. The ringspun cotton provides a smooth, soft-touch surface that feels premium against the skin, while the polyester content adds necessary durability and shrink resistance. Inside, the brushed fleece finish creates a lofted surface that traps air, providing excellent insulation for outdoor work or draughty warehouses. The flat lace drawcords are a modern, durable alternative to standard round cords, ensuring they remain tidy and functional throughout the life of the garment.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

This heavyweight hoodie is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery, making it a versatile choice for company branding. The face of the fabric is 100% cotton, which provides a exceptionally smooth surface for screen printing or heat transfer, ensuring that large-scale logos appear sharp and vibrant.

For a more traditional and elevated professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. The dense, heavyweight fabric supports the weight of complex stitched logos without puckering or sagging. Our expert team in Telford, with experience dating back to 1976, manages the entire process in-house to ensure your branding meets our rigorous quality standards.

Use Cases

Given its substantial weight and heat-retention properties, this hoodie is ideal for tradespeople working in unheated environments, event staff requiring a branded uniform, or as a high-quality promotional item. It is equally at home in a workshop as it is being worn as part of a casual corporate uniform. The extensive size range from XS to 3XL ensures that it can be issued as a consistent uniform across a diverse workforce.

Why MyWorkwear

Practical Advice

The relaxed fit of this hoodie allows for easy layering over a base layer or polo shirt. When selecting sizes for a team, please refer to the 'To Fit' measurements provided, as the heavyweight nature of the fabric means there is less natural stretch than in lighter garments. For those working in environments where loose cords could be a hazard, the flat lace drawcords can be easily adjusted or tied off.

Caring for your product

To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your hoodie, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature prevents the ringspun cotton fibres from becoming brittle and helps to maintain the vibrancy of any custom print or embroidery.

Bleaching agents should be strictly avoided. Chlorine-based chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration to the dyed cotton. Always wash dark colours separately to prevent dye migration, which can occur during the first few cycles.

While tumble drying is possible at low heat, we advise air drying where possible to minimise potential shrinkage. If ironing is required, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from melting or peeling. This garment should not be dry cleaned, as the solvents used can damage the fabric's soft-touch finish.
