Product Overview
The AWDis Just Hoods Signature heavyweight bomber sweatshirt is a sophisticated alternative to the standard hoodie or crewneck. It bridges the gap between casual comfort and professional outerwear, offering a substantial feel that is immediate upon handling. Designed with a modern, oversized fit and a boxy unisex shape, it provides a contemporary silhouette that moves away from the restrictive fits of traditional workwear. The inclusion of a high-quality YKK silver zip adds a touch of industrial durability and visual contrast to the deep black fabric.

Design & Performance
The performance of this sweatshirt is rooted in its fabric composition. By using ringspun cotton, the garment achieves a smoother, stronger finish compared to standard cotton. This is blended with polyester and recycled polyester to provide the necessary structural integrity and shape retention required for a garment that will be worn and washed regularly. The 2x1 ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem are not merely decorative; they are designed to maintain their tension, preventing the sweatshirt from losing its shape after long shifts.
From a sustainability perspective, this garment carries weight. It is Peta-Approved Vegan and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning it meets high social and environmental standards. The use of recycled polyester demonstrates a commitment to more responsible procurement without compromising on the substantial, heavyweight feel of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a superior canvas for branding. The 100% cotton face is particularly advantageous for printing, as it allows inks to sit flat and bond effectively, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting designs. This is ideal for large back prints or bold promotional graphics.
For a more traditional, authoritative professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. The heavyweight nature of the fabric supports high-density stitch counts without puckering, making it perfect for company logos or staff names. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is executed with technical precision.
Use Cases
The Signature heavyweight bomber sweatshirt is perfectly suited for modern retail environments, creative studios, or front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector who require a polished yet relaxed uniform. Its substantial weight also makes it a reliable mid-layer for tradespeople working in unheated indoor spaces or during the transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
Due to the oversized and boxy nature of this sweatshirt, it is an excellent piece for layering over t-shirts or polo shirts. If you prefer a more fitted appearance, you may wish to consider sizing down from your usual choice, though the design intent is for a relaxed, modern aesthetic. Please refer to our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the premium feel and ensure the longevity of your customisation, we recommend washing this sweatshirt at 30 degrees. This lower temperature protects the cotton fibres and prevents the recycled polyester from degrading prematurely, while also being more environmentally friendly.
It is essential to wash dark colours separately to prevent any colour bleed that could dull the fabric. Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as it will strip the dye and damage both the fabric structure and your embroidered or printed logos.
When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to avoid shrinking the heavyweight fabric. For ironing, a cool iron is sufficient; however, take care to iron around any printed areas rather than directly over them to avoid damaging the transfer. Dry cleaning should be avoided as the harsh chemicals can interfere with the garment's finish and any applied branding.
