Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Regular Fit 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt is an expertly engineered garment designed for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing the comfort and durability of traditional workwear. This medium-weight sweatshirt bridges the gap between a casual layer and a formal uniform, featuring a structured double-layered cadet collar that provides a sharp, clean silhouette. Constructed from a high-quality brushed-back jersey, it offers a soft internal feel against the skin while maintaining a robust exterior capable of withstanding the rigours of a busy working day.
Key Features
- Covered Zip: The quarter-zip is cleverly covered by the fabric, which provides a seamless surface across the chest, making it an ideal canvas for large-scale custom branding.
- Full-Needle Ribbed Welt and Cuffs: These high-quality ribbing details are designed for superior shape recovery, ensuring the sleeves and waist do not sag or lose their fit after repeated wear.
- Double-Stitched Construction: The shoulders and armholes feature twin-needle stitching to provide maximum reinforcement at the garment's highest stress points.
- Tear-Out Label: This feature allows for easy removal of the brand tag, increasing comfort for the wearer and making it simple for businesses to add their own internal branding.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 80% cotton and 20% polyester is a deliberate choice for performance. The 100% cotton face provides an exceptionally smooth surface for customisation, while the polyester blend ensures the garment retains its shape and resists excessive wrinkling. The zirconium-coloured metal zip and puller add a touch of industrial quality, designed to operate smoothly even after extensive use. Internally, the self-coloured woven tape at the back of the neck and zip prevents chafing, ensuring the sweatshirt remains comfortable during long shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a versatile choice for customisation, and its unique construction offers specific advantages for both print and embroidery. The 100% cotton face is particularly well-suited for high-definition printing, as the natural fibres absorb ink more effectively than synthetic alternatives. For a more formal, executive look, our Telford-based embroidery team can apply high-thread-count logos to the chest or the back of the neck.
The covered zip is a critical design feature here; it allows for prints to be applied across the chest area without the interruption of a visible zip track. Whether you require bold, printed branding for visibility or sophisticated embroidery for a corporate uniform, our in-house team—established in 1976—ensures every detail is handled with professional precision.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is perfectly suited for a wide range of professional environments. It is an excellent choice for delivery drivers and logistics staff who need a breathable but warm layer, as well as for tradespeople who require a smarter alternative to a standard hoodie when meeting clients. It also serves as a high-quality promotional garment for events where a professional appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
Available in a comprehensive size range from XS to 3XL, this regular-fit sweatshirt is designed to be worn comfortably over a polo shirt or a standard t-shirt. For those working in colder environments, it serves as an excellent mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket, providing warmth without bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to prevent the cotton fibres from shrinking and ensures the garment remains soft to the touch over time.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as these harsh chemicals will break down the polyester-cotton fibres and lead to significant colour loss. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the industrial solvents used can damage the zirconium zip and any applied logos.
To preserve the shape and finish of the sweatshirt, do not tumble dry. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry naturally. If ironing is required, use a medium heat (two dots) and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation.
