Product Overview
The Kariban Men's full zip sweat jacket is a refined alternative to the standard fleece, offering a structured silhouette and a professional aesthetic for the modern workplace. Crafted from a substantial combed cotton and polyester blend, this garment bridges the gap between a traditional sweatshirt and an outer jacket. The addition of a silicone wash gives the fabric an exceptionally soft handle, while the low-shrinkage brushed fleece ensures the garment retains its shape and size even after repeated industrial or domestic laundering.
Key Features
- Fitted Style with Ribbed Side Panels: Provides a more tailored, modern fit that follows the contours of the body without restricting movement.
- Combed Cotton Blend: The use of combed cotton ensures a smoother, stronger fabric surface that is ideal for high-definition customisation.
- Contrast Striped Ribbed Inner Collar: A subtle design detail that adds a touch of sophistication and sets this jacket apart from standard leisurewear.
- Functional Storage: Features two front pockets for convenient storage of essential tools or personal items throughout the working day.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: Ensures a secure fit and helps to retain heat, making it an excellent layering piece for cooler environments.
Design & Performance
This is a heavyweight garment designed for longevity. The high cotton content provides natural breathability and comfort, while the polyester inclusion adds the necessary durability to withstand the rigours of a busy work environment. The interior is finished with a brushed fleece, providing a soft layer of insulation against the skin. The inclusion of ribbed side panels is a deliberate design choice to improve the garment's recovery and flexibility, ensuring it remains comfortable during physical activity. Furthermore, the silicone wash finish not only enhances the feel but also provides a premium surface for branding.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, combed surface of this sweat jacket makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a truly professional appearance that stands the test of time, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can reproduce your company logo with precision, creating a textured, high-quality finish on the chest or sleeve. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or bold messaging, our advanced printing techniques are perfectly suited to the stable fabric of this jacket. Having been experts in customisation since 1976, we ensure every application is handled with technical care to maintain the integrity of the garment.
Use Cases
This jacket is highly versatile, making it suitable for client-facing roles where a professional yet approachable look is required. It is an ideal choice for site managers, delivery personnel, or as part of a unified corporate uniform for office staff. Given its substantial weight, it performs well in draughty warehouses or as a mid-layer for those working outdoors during the transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
This jacket features a fitted style; if you intend to wear multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider selecting one size larger than your usual measurement to ensure maximum comfort. It pairs exceptionally well with a professional polo shirt for a smart-casual ensemble that remains practical for physical work.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your sweat jacket, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature protects the silicone-washed fibres from premature fatigue and prevents the low-shrinkage fleece from unnecessary stress.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents will break down the cotton fibres and cause significant fading to the fabric and your custom branding. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry is acceptable, though air drying is preferred to further minimise any potential for shrinkage.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas. Dry cleaning should be avoided entirely to prevent chemical damage to the garment's structure and the adhesive properties of any printed designs.
