Design & Performance
The DX472 is constructed from a high-performance blend of 75% polyester, 16% viscose, and 9% elastane. This heavyweight fabric is designed for durability and comfort; the viscose provides a soft internal hand-feel, while the elastane ensures four-way stretch that adapts to your movements. The "two-faced" construction creates a dense, protective layer that resists the wear and tear of a busy workplace while remaining breathable enough for active use.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the technical nature and substantial texture of the two-faced fabric, this hoodie is designated for embroidery only. The thickness of the material provides a stable foundation for high-density stitching, allowing your corporate logo to be rendered with exceptional clarity and longevity. Our Telford-based embroidery team, established in 1976, manages all customisation in-house, ensuring each garment meets our rigorous standards for stitch quality and brand representation.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an ideal choice for site supervisors, technical engineers, and tradespeople who need to maintain a professional appearance while remaining active. Its technical look makes it suitable for both client-facing roles and hands-on site work, providing a versatile alternative to standard fleece or sweatshirts.

Practical Advice
The DX4 Zipped Hoodie features a modern, streamlined fit. If you intend to wear this as an outer layer over multiple garments, you may wish to consider your sizing carefully to ensure maximum comfort. The adjustable hood is highly effective for heat retention when working in exposed, windy environments.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of the two-faced fabric is essential for the longevity of the garment. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 30°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can compromise the elastane fibres, which may result in the hoodie losing its shape and elasticity over time.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester and viscose blend and can severely damage the vibrant threads of your embroidered logo. Similarly, the garment should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in the process are too harsh for this specific fabric composition.
This item must not be tumble dried; instead, it should be drip-line dried. Exposure to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause shrinkage and damage the rubber zip pullers. Finally, avoid ironing this hoodie altogether, as direct heat can melt the synthetic fibres and permanently ruin the finish of the fabric.
