Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Regular Fit 1/4-Zip Piqué Sweatshirt is a sophisticated alternative to the standard crew neck, designed for professionals who require a blend of durability and a polished appearance. By combining the textured, abrasion-resistant properties of a piqué weave with the internal warmth of brushed-back fleece, Kustom Kit has engineered a garment that excels in demanding work environments. The 1/4-zip design, featuring a concealed metal zip and a structured cadet collar, provides a versatile look that transitions seamlessly from a site visit to a client meeting.
Key Features
- Double-Layered Cadet Collar: This reinforced construction ensures the collar maintains its shape and professional standing, even after repeated wears and washes.
- Concealed Metal Zip: The high-quality metal zip pull provides a sturdy closure while remaining tucked away for a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic.
- Kangaroo Pocket with Double-Topstitching: Offers practical storage for essential tools or personal items, with reinforced stitching to prevent tearing under pressure.
- Full-Needle Double-Layered Cuffs and Welt: These high-density finishes prevent the sleeves and hem from stretching out, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day.
- Tear-Out Back Neck Label: Allows for complete comfort by removing potential irritation, or for easy rebranding should you wish to add your own internal labels.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend, this sweatshirt is designed for longevity. The heavy-weight piqué-faced fabric is particularly adept at resisting the scuffs and scrapes common in manual trades, while the brushed fleece interior provides essential thermal insulation during colder months. The regular fit is engineered to allow for a full range of movement without being overly baggy, and the double-edge stitching on the armholes and shoulder seams ensures the garment can withstand the physical rigours of a busy workday.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The KK339 is an exceptional canvas for corporate branding. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The tight piqué weave provides a stable base for intricate logos and text, ensuring your brand stands out with clarity and depth. For larger, more vibrant designs—perhaps on the back of the garment—our high-quality printing process is also fully supported.
Every customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford. With MyWorkwear's heritage dating back to 1976, we have the technical expertise to ensure your logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance your business demands.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideal for supervisors and business owners who need to maintain a professional image while being active on-site. It is equally suited for delivery drivers, hospitality staff, or as a high-quality addition to a corporate uniform for colder office environments. Its durable nature also makes it a sensible choice for trade professionals who want a smarter layer than a standard hoodie.

Practical Advice
The regular fit of this sweatshirt is designed to be true to size, but if you intend to wear it as a top layer over a thick polo shirt or thermal base, you may wish to consider the roomier end of your size range. For those working in variable temperatures, the 1/4 zip allows for quick ventilation, making it an excellent mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the soft brushed finish of the fleece, we recommend a mild machine wash at 30°C. Using a gentle cycle helps to protect the piqué-faced exterior from excessive friction, which preserves the fabric's appearance over time.
It is important that you do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the cotton fibres and cause the self-coloured back neck tape to fade. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided to protect the metal zip and the integrity of any applied branding.
To prevent shrinkage and maintain the garment's shape, do not tumble dry. Instead, allow the sweatshirt to air dry naturally. If ironing is necessary to restore a crisp look to the cadet collar, use a maximum temperature of 150°C, ensuring you iron on the reverse of any printed or embroidered areas to avoid damaging the customisation.
