Product Overview
The Nimbus Timberlake modern sherpa fleece is a sophisticated take on a classic thermal layer, designed to provide substantial warmth without the restrictive bulk of traditional outerwear. This fleece is crafted with a high pile texture that offers a clean, contemporary appearance suitable for both professional environments and outdoor work. By utilising recycled materials, Nimbus has created a garment that aligns modern functionality with environmental responsibility, ensuring your team looks professional while supporting sustainable practices.
Key Features
- Secure Zippered Pockets: Equipped with both a chest pocket and side pockets featuring zip closures, this fleece ensures that essential tools and personal items remain secure during active movement.
- Extended Backtail: The elongated rear hem provides additional coverage and protection against drafts when bending or reaching, which is particularly beneficial for active trade roles.
- Sustainable Fabric Construction: Made from 100% recycled polyester, primarily sourced from plastic bottles and textile waste, this garment helps reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance.
- High Pile Insulation: The sherpa texture is specifically designed for excellent thermal retention, trapping heat efficiently while remaining breathable for comfort during extended wear.
Design & Performance
The Timberlake fleece is engineered for durability and comfort. The substantial weight of the high-pile fabric provides a robust barrier against the cold, yet its quick-drying properties make it highly practical for the unpredictable British weather. The interior is lined with polyester to ensure a smooth fit over base layers, reducing friction and allowing for a full range of motion. Accredited by Oeko-Tex and Reach, the fabric is tested for harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for daily wear in demanding professional settings.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the deep, textured nature of the sherpa high-pile fabric, this garment is suited exclusively for embroidery. Traditional printing methods are ineffective on this surface as the ink cannot sit flat or adhere correctly to the fibres. Embroidery, however, provides a premium, three-dimensional finish that sits proud of the fabric. Our in-house embroidery team, established in 1976, uses high-density stitching to ensure your logo remains crisp and legible against the fleece texture, providing a level of durability and professional branding that matches the quality of the Nimbus garment.
Use Cases
This fleece is an ideal choice for corporate branding where a modern, premium aesthetic is required. It is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and hospitality staff who require a versatile outer layer that looks as good in a client meeting as it does on a cold site. The contemporary fit also makes it a popular choice for staff uniforms in retail or outdoor events where brand presentation is paramount.

Practical Advice
The Timberlake fleece is designed with a modern fit. For those who intend to wear this over heavy shirts or multiple layers, you may wish to consider the larger end of your size range to ensure maximum comfort. The extended backtail is specifically designed to prevent 'ride-up' when working at height or in awkward positions, making it a highly practical choice for active professionals.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your sherpa fleece, it is essential to follow correct cleaning procedures. We recommend a gentle wash to preserve the soft, high-pile texture of the fabric. Avoiding harsh chemicals and bleaches is vital, as these can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause the material to lose its insulating properties over time.
When it comes to drying, we strongly advise against the use of high-heat tumble dryers. Excessive heat can singe the synthetic fibres of the sherpa, leading to a matted appearance and a loss of softness. Instead, air drying is the preferred method to maintain the garment's shape and the integrity of the embroidered logo. Avoid ironing the fleece, as the direct heat will damage the pile and the delicate threads of your custom branding.
