Product Overview
The Portwest Texo Contrast Jacket is a well-engineered garment designed to meet the rigorous demands of the modern workplace while maintaining a professional aesthetic. This jacket combines a contemporary contrast-colour design with the practical durability required by tradespeople and industrial professionals. It is built to be hardwearing, ensuring it can withstand the daily stresses of manual work without compromising on comfort.
With its versatile feature set, including specialised storage and adjustable fitments, this jacket serves as a reliable outer layer that supports productivity and a unified team appearance.
Key Features
- Kingsmill Cotton Rich Fabric: The use of a cotton-rich blend ensures the jacket is breathable and comfortable for long shifts, while the polyester component provides essential strength and crease resistance.
- Specialised Back Pocket: This clever design feature allows for the secure storage of gloves or a cap, keeping them accessible but out of the way when not in use.
- Hook and Loop Adjustable Cuffs: These provide a secure and customisable fit at the wrists, preventing sleeves from catching on machinery or tools and helping to seal out debris.
- Versatile Storage: Multiple pockets are integrated into the design to provide ample room for essential equipment and personal items.
Design & Performance
Constructed from Kingsmill fabric—a balanced blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester—this jacket is a medium-weight garment that offers the perfect compromise between protection and mobility. The high cotton content makes it soft to the touch and reduces the risk of overheating, while the polyester ensures the jacket holds its shape and survives the abrasions typical of a site environment.
The contrast colour design is not merely for show; it helps to define the garment's structure and can be used to align with corporate branding. The stitching and construction are reinforced to ensure that high-stress areas do not fail under pressure, making this a dependable piece of professional equipment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is perfectly suited for customisation, allowing you to present a cohesive brand image. The fabric's weave is ideal for embroidery, which we recommend for a superior and durable finish on company logos or staff names. Embroidery provides a three-dimensional, high-quality look that remains intact through repeated industrial laundering.
For larger branding requirements or promotional messaging, the flat surfaces of the jacket also accommodate high-quality printing. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, where we have been perfecting our techniques since 1976 to ensure your branding is sharp, durable, and professional.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for individuals working in construction, warehousing, engineering, and general maintenance. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for site supervisors and delivery personnel who require a garment that is as functional as it is presentable.

Practical Advice
As this is a medium-weight jacket, it is highly effective for year-round use. During the winter months, we recommend layering it over a thermal base layer or a sweatshirt. The adjustable hook and loop cuffs are particularly useful for ensuring a snug fit over work gloves.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of this jacket, it is important to follow the recommended care routine. We advise a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C using a normal process. This temperature is sufficient to break down oils and grime without damaging the fabric fibres.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleaching agents will compromise the strength of the Kingsmill fabric and cause significant fading to the black and contrast colours, which will undermine your professional appearance.
If the jacket requires pressing, use an iron at a maximum temperature of 150°C. Avoid direct high heat on any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation. For those requiring a more intensive clean, the jacket is suitable for professional dry cleaning using Tetrachloroethene.
