Product Overview
The Kariban Detachable-sleeved blouson jacket is a versatile and robust solution for professionals who require adaptable workwear. Crafted with a substantial polyester Oxford outer and enhanced with a PVC coating, this jacket is designed to withstand the rigours of daily use while providing reliable protection against the elements. Its modular design is its most significant advantage, allowing the wearer to quickly transition from a full jacket to a functional bodywarmer by removing the sleeves, making it an ideal choice for the fluctuating British climate.
Key Features
- Detachable sleeves: This modular design provides exceptional versatility, allowing the garment to be worn as either a jacket or a waistcoat depending on the temperature and task.
- Water-repellent finish: The PVC-coated outer fabric ensures that light rain and moisture bead off the surface, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
- Insulated padding: The polyester padding and lining provide essential thermal insulation, making this a dependable choice for outdoor work in colder conditions.
- Studded storm flap: A protective flap over the full-length zip prevents wind and rain from penetrating the front of the garment.
- Concealed hood: An elasticated drawcord hood is tucked into the collar, providing immediate head protection when the weather turns.
- Adjustable cuffs: Tear-release fastenings at the cuffs allow for a secure and personalised fit, helping to trap heat and prevent draughts.
Design & Performance
Engineering and functionality are at the heart of this blouson jacket. The 100% polyester Oxford fabric is selected for its high resistance to abrasions, ensuring the garment remains intact even in demanding work environments. The inclusion of multiple pockets, including a dedicated mobile phone pocket and an internal storage area, ensures that essential tools and personal items are always within reach. The hem is fitted with an elasticated drawcord and toggles, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit to prevent heat loss and ensure the jacket stays in place during physical activity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket has been designed specifically with customisation in mind, featuring internal zip access that allows for clean decoration without piercing the internal padding. Embroidery is an excellent choice for this substantial fabric, providing a refined and durable finish for company logos or staff names on the chest. For larger, high-impact branding across the back, our professional printing services offer crisp, vibrant results.

Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and water-repellent properties of the PVC-coated outer, this jacket should be washed at 30°C on a normal programme. Excessive heat during the wash cycle can damage the coating and reduce the lifespan of the garment.Do not use bleach under any circumstances, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and can cause significant discolouration to both the fabric and your custom branding.This garment must not be tumble dried or dry cleaned. The high heat levels in a dryer can melt the PVC coating and cause the internal padding to clump, permanently affecting the jacket's insulation and appearance.Finally, do not iron this jacket. The synthetic materials and protective coating are highly sensitive to direct heat and will be irreparably damaged by contact with an iron.
