Design & Performance
This softshell is engineered from a substantial polyester blend that balances durability with comfort. The mid-weight fabric is sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of daily wear while remaining light enough to prevent overheating. Its three-layer design is a hallmark of quality performance gear; the outer layer provides a professional finish that resists scuffs, while the internal layers contribute to temperature regulation. The result is a garment that feels as robust as it looks, providing a superior finish that outlasts standard lightweight alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance — ideal for logos and names — and stands up to repeated washing without fading. It is a particularly effective choice for this fabric, as it maintains its crisp detail over time.
Print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, making your branding stand out from a distance. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation in our Telford-based facility, ensuring your order is managed with decades of expertise.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for site supervisors, logistics staff, and technical engineers who require a layer that is smarter than a standard fleece but more flexible than a heavy coat. It is an excellent choice for a unified corporate identity across diverse roles.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex garment with a mid-weight profile, we recommend considering your layering requirements. If you intend to wear this over a thick sweatshirt during the winter months, you may wish to consult the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. For those in more active roles, the natural stretch of the fabric means your usual size should provide ample room for movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the three-layer fabric and ensure your customisation remains in peak condition, we recommend a gentle wash at the temperature indicated on the care label. Consistent care helps preserve the material's wind-resistant properties.
We strongly advise against using bleaching agents. Harsh chemicals can degrade the polyester fibres and lead to the premature fading of the black or navy dyes, which would diminish the professional appearance of your team.
When it comes to drying, air drying is the preferred method for this garment. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can damage the bonding between the fabric layers, potentially causing the material to lose its shape. By following these simple steps, you ensure the jacket remains a staple of your working wardrobe for years to come.
