Product Overview
The Glasgow Bodywarmer is a practical solution for those transitional days when a full jacket is too restrictive but a t-shirt alone is insufficient. This garment bridges the gap between seasons, offering a comfortable fit that suits both professional work environments and leisure activities. It provides essential core warmth without restricting arm movement, making it a staple for anyone who needs to remain active while staying protected from the morning or evening chill.
Key Features
- Polyester and Cotton Twill Shell: This blend provides a robust exterior that withstands the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
- Insulated Filling: The internal polyester padding ensures heat is retained around your core, keeping you warm in cooler conditions without adding excessive bulk.
- Smooth Nylon Lining: The interior lining allows the bodywarmer to glide over base layers or sweatshirts, preventing friction and ensuring ease of movement throughout the day.
- Versatile Design: Carefully styled to be functional for both work and casual settings, offering excellent value for a dependable outer layer.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a classic polycotton twill, this bodywarmer is engineered for durability. The polyester component ensures the garment resists wear and maintains its shape over time, while the cotton provides a breathable feel. The twill weave is specifically chosen for its strength and ability to mask minor surface marks, which is particularly useful in a busy trade environment. Inside, the polyester filling provides a lightweight yet effective thermal barrier, and the nylon lining adds a layer of refinement that makes layering over other garments effortless.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Glasgow Bodywarmer serves as an excellent canvas for your company branding. For a sophisticated and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, uses precision machinery to apply logos and names, creating a professional look that withstands repeated laundering. If you require larger, high-impact designs for promotional use, print is an effective alternative that ensures your brand is visible from a distance. All customisation is handled in-house, ensuring that the quality of your branding matches the quality of the garment.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is ideally suited for tradespeople who require full arm freedom for manual tasks—such as electricians, plumbers, or carpenters—but need to maintain their core temperature on-site. It is equally effective for warehouse staff working in drafty environments or for business owners conducting site visits where a smart yet functional outer layer is required. Beyond the workplace, its clean design makes it suitable for outdoor leisure and corporate events.

Practical Advice
Because this is a bodywarmer, sizing should account for what you intend to wear underneath. If you plan to layer it over a thick sweatshirt or a fleece, ensure the fit allows for comfortable movement across the chest. Its sleeveless design also makes it an excellent middle layer under a waterproof shell during more extreme weather conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure your Glasgow Bodywarmer continues to perform and look its best, proper maintenance is essential. Following these instructions will help preserve the fabric integrity and the longevity of any custom branding applied by our team.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and may cause custom prints or embroidery to degrade prematurely. Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will strip the colour from the navy fabric and weaken the polycotton shell.
This garment should not be tumble dried; high heat can cause shrinkage and may distort the internal padding. Instead, use a drip line dry method, which allows the garment to dry naturally while maintaining its shape. If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 110°C; excessive heat can scorch the fabric or damage the internal lining. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the solvents used can be too aggressive for the materials and filling.
