The Nimbus Detroit unisex jacket draws inspiration from the enduring silhouette of traditional American workwear, specifically the iconic gas station jacket. It represents a sophisticated blend of heritage aesthetics and modern technical performance. This garment is designed for those who require a versatile outerwear piece that transition seamlessly from professional environments to casual settings. Crafted primarily from recycled materials, it offers a sustainable choice without compromising on the refined appearance necessary for corporate representation.
Engineered for durability and flexibility, the shell of the Detroit jacket is composed of a medium-weight blend of 92% recycled polyester and 8% elastane. This inclusion of elastane provides a subtle stretch, allowing for a full range of motion that is often lacking in traditional work jackets. The technical performance is underpinned by a TPU membrane and a polyester mesh laminate, which facilitates moisture vapour escape while preventing external water penetration.
The outer fabric is treated with BIONIC FINISH ECO, a leading-edge sustainable technology that mimics the water-repellent structures found in nature. This ensures that light rain beads off the surface, keeping the wearer dry and the fabric from becoming waterlogged. Despite its substantial protective qualities, the jacket remains surprisingly lightweight and manageable for long shifts.
The Detroit jacket is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its smooth, high-quality shell fabric is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing your brand identity to be displayed with precision.
For a traditional and sophisticated finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium look that withstands frequent laundering. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or bold messaging, our high-definition printing processes ensure a sharp, professional finish that remains flexible on the garment.
All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976.
This jacket is ideally suited for front-of-house staff, delivery drivers, or site managers who require a garment that looks as professional as a blazer but performs like technical outerwear. Its unisex fit and broad size range, from XS to 3XL, make it a versatile choice for outfitting diverse teams across the service, automotive, and corporate sectors.
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for UK businesses seeking high-quality uniform solutions. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we combine decades of heritage with modern production techniques. We understand that your workwear is a reflection of your professional standards, which is why we meticulously oversee every stage of the customisation process to ensure your team looks exceptional.
The Detroit jacket is designed with a professional fit in mind. For those planning to wear heavy knitwear or thick sweatshirts underneath during winter months, we suggest reviewing the size guide carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders. The tagless design is a thoughtful addition, preventing neck irritation during extended periods of wear.
To maintain the technical integrity and water-repellent properties of the Detroit jacket, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a normal process. This ensures the fabric is cleaned effectively without damaging the TPU membrane or the recycled fibres.
Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the BIONIC FINISH ECO coating and compromise the colour fastness of your custom branding. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the jacket to air dry naturally helps maintain its shape and the performance of the technical laminates.
Ironing and dry cleaning should be avoided entirely. High heat from an iron can damage the synthetic shell and the internal membrane, while dry cleaning solvents can strip away the essential water-repellent treatments that make this jacket a practical piece of outerwear.
