Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Regular Fit Piqué Hoodie (KK338) represents a thoughtful evolution in professional workwear. By combining the textured, abrasion-resistant qualities of a piqué weave with the insulating warmth of brushed-back fleece, Kustom Kit has produced a garment that offers a sophisticated alternative to standard leisurewear. This heavyweight hoodie is engineered for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing the comfort and durability necessary for a demanding work environment.
Key Features
- Innovative Zipped Pocket: In addition to the traditional kangaroo pocket, a discrete zipped compartment at the top provides secure storage for essential items such as keys or mobile devices, preventing them from falling out during physical tasks.
- Raised Hood Design: The specific construction of the hood allows it to sit higher on the neck, which significantly increases the available space for large-format back prints, ensuring your branding is not obscured.
- Refined Metal Detailing: Self-coloured flat tape cords finished with metal ends and matching metal eyelets provide a superior finish that withstands the rigours of regular use far better than plastic alternatives.
- Double-Stitched Construction: Double-edge stitching on the cuffs and welt, alongside double-stitched armholes, ensures the garment maintains its shape and structural integrity even under significant stress.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, this garment is designed for longevity and performance. The piqué-faced exterior is notably resistant to the scuffs and surface wear common in active trade environments, while the brushed fleece interior provides a soft, heat-retaining layer against the skin. The regular fit is complemented by full-needle, double-layered cuffs and a matching welt, which ensures the hoodie retains its form and prevents sagging after repeated wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is an exceptional canvas for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and authoritative professional aesthetic, we recommend embroidery for chest-positioned company logos or staff names; the dense piqué face provides a stable foundation for high-quality, intricate stitching. If your branding requires a larger, more impactful design, the raised hood construction offers an expanded area on the back for high-definition printing. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
The professional finish and unique fabric texture make this hoodie ideal for customer-facing trades, technical roles, or as premium corporate uniform. It is particularly well-suited for site managers, delivery professionals, or technicians who require a warm, durable outer layer that maintains a smart appearance throughout the day.

Practical Advice
This hoodie is offered in a regular fit, catering to chest sizes from 36 inches up to 52 inches. For those working in cooler conditions, it serves as an excellent mid-layer over a polo shirt or as a standalone outer garment. The tear-out back neck label is a practical feature that eliminates irritation during long shifts, particularly for those with sensitive skin.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour density of the fabric, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to premature wear of the piqué fibres and may negatively affect the longevity of your custom branding.
Bleaching agents must be strictly avoided as they will degrade the polyester-cotton blend and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried; air drying is essential to prevent shrinkage and to keep the brushed fleece interior in optimal condition.
When ironing, ensure the temperature does not exceed 150°C to avoid damaging the synthetic fibres or the customisation. Finally, do not dry clean this hoodie, as the chemicals used in the process can be detrimental to both the fabric and any applied prints or embroidery.
