Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK336 is a sophisticated take on the standard hooded sweatshirt, offering a quarter-zip design that bridges the gap between casual comfort and professional attire. This medium-weight hoodie is engineered for versatility, making it a reliable choice for teams that operate across various environments. By incorporating a high-quality YKK metal zip, Kustom Kit has created a garment that allows for easy layering and temperature regulation while maintaining a structured, formal silhouette that pullovers often lack.
Key Features
- 100% Cotton Face Fabric: This provides an exceptionally smooth surface, ensuring that your company branding—whether printed or embroidered—is rendered with maximum clarity and precision.
- YKK Metal 1/4 Zip: Industry-standard hardware that offers smooth operation and a professional finish that far outlasts plastic alternatives.
- Jersey-Lined Hood: The double-layered hood provides extra warmth and ensures the garment maintains its shape, avoiding the 'flat' look of cheaper alternatives.
- Double-Stitched Construction: Armholes and shoulders are double-stitched to provide essential reinforcement at high-stress points, preventing seam failure during physical activity.
- Full-Needle Cuffs and Welt: These components are designed for superior shape retention, meaning the sleeves and waist will not become baggy or loose after a long day on the job.
Design & Performance
The core of this garment is a brushed-back jersey blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester. This specific fabric composition is chosen for its performance characteristics; the high cotton content ensures breathability and a soft hand-feel, while the polyester provides the structural integrity needed for industrial laundering and daily wear. The 'cotton-faced' exterior is a technical highlight, specifically designed to reduce pilling and provide the best possible canvas for customisation. Internally, the self-coloured woven tape at the back of the neck and zip ensures there is no irritation against the skin, allowing for all-day comfort during long shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is specifically designed to accommodate both print and embroidery. For those seeking a professional appearance for front-of-house staff or management, embroidery is the ideal choice for logos and individual names, providing a durable and high-quality finish. If your requirement involves large, bold graphics on the back of the garment, our printing processes will benefit from the 100% cotton face, which ensures sharp detail and long-lasting colour. Our in-house team in Telford has been handling these customisations since 1976, ensuring that every garment leaves our facility meeting our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
This quarter-zip hoodie is an ideal solution for tradespeople who require a professional layer that can be easily adjusted as the workday warms up. It is equally suited for delivery drivers, warehouse staff, and event crews who need to maintain a uniform appearance while requiring the utility of a kangaroo pocket and the protection of a hood. Its clean lines and metal hardware also make it a popular choice for customer-facing roles in the automotive and retail sectors.

Practical Advice
This hoodie is a regular fit and is designed to be true to size. For a more relaxed feel or if you intend to wear a thick polo shirt or thermal layer underneath, you may wish to size up. The tear-out back neck label is a particularly useful feature for businesses looking to fully rebrand the garment as part of their own merchandise or high-end corporate uniform range.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of this garment, it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C using a mild process. High-temperature washes can degrade the cotton fibres over time, leading to premature wear and potential shrinkage of the fabric and zip tape.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this hoodie. The harsh chemicals in bleach will compromise the 80/20 fabric blend and will cause significant damage to any custom embroidery or print designs, leading to fading and loss of detail.
We strongly recommend that you do not tumble dry this product. Drying the garment naturally helps to preserve the integrity of the metal hardware and prevents the risk of shrinkage that can occur with mechanical drying. Hanging it to dry will also help maintain the shape of the jersey-lined hood.
If ironing is necessary, it should be done at a maximum temperature of 150°C. Avoiding excessive heat ensures the polyester component of the fabric remains stable and your branding stays intact. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the industrial solvents are too harsh for the cotton face and may affect the longevity of the stitched seams.
