Product Overview
The Stretch Maternity Tunic in Hamilton Blue is a meticulously designed adaptation of our popular stretch tunic, engineered to support professionals during pregnancy. It balances a clean, contemporary aesthetic with the practical demands of active work environments. By incorporating a lightweight stretch twill fabric and a flattering maternity fit, this garment ensures that comfort and professionalism are maintained throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Lightweight Kingsmill Polycotton Stretch fabric: Provides a breathable and flexible base that stands up to the rigours of the workplace.
- Integrated Action Back: This design feature allows for a superior range of shoulder and arm movement, which is critical for those in manual or service-based roles.
- Front Zip Fastening: Offers a secure and streamlined closure that is both practical and professional in appearance.
- Stretch Twill Construction: The weave is specifically chosen to provide a professional finish while allowing the fabric to expand and move with the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of this tunic is rooted in its Kingsmill Polycotton Stretch composition, consisting of 65% polyester, 33% cotton, and 2% elastane. This specific blend ensures that the garment is durable enough to withstand the frequency of industrial laundering while the cotton content maintains wearer comfort. The 2% elastane is subtle but vital, providing the necessary 'give' to accommodate movement without the garment losing its shape. As a lightweight fabric, it is ideal for indoor environments where temperature regulation is a priority.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tunic is highly compatible with both print and embroidery, allowing you to maintain a consistent brand identity. For a high-calibre, authoritative look, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names. This method is particularly durable and withstands frequent washing. Alternatively, our precision printing is excellent for larger, bold designs that need to stand out. Our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring every garment reflects our long-standing commitment to quality.
Use Cases
This tunic is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors within the food and hospitality industries. It is particularly well-suited for catering staff, kitchen professionals, bakers, and butchers. Its clean lines also make it an appropriate choice for front-of-house staff in hotels and restaurants who require a professional maternity option that doesn't compromise on movement.

Practical Advice
This garment is specifically cut for a maternity fit, so we recommend selecting your usual pre-pregnancy size unless you prefer a significantly looser feel. The stretch properties of the fabric are designed to accommodate growth naturally. It layers efficiently over lightweight undergarments, making it suitable for year-round use.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your tunic and the vibrancy of its Hamilton Blue colour, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes most workplace soils without compromising the elastane fibres.
Avoid the use of bleach. Bleaching agents will break down the fabric's structure and will inevitably damage the finish of any custom embroidery or print.
When drying, a low temperature tumble dry or drip line drying is recommended. Excessive heat during the drying process can lead to shrinkage and may affect the flexibility of the stretch twill. If ironing is necessary, use a maximum temperature of 150°C to maintain a crisp, professional appearance without scorching the polyester content.
