Product Overview
The WX1 Two Toned Insulated Cotton Work Jacket is a well-engineered outer layer designed to offer a balance of aesthetic appeal and industrial functionality. Constructed from a robust 100% cotton fabric, this jacket provides the natural breathability and comfort required for long shifts, while the internal padded lining ensures significant thermal protection in harsh conditions. It has been specifically designed to coordinate with the wider WX1 and Portwest ranges, ensuring a cohesive appearance for your workforce.
Key Features
- 100% Cotton Fabric: This choice of material ensures excellent breathability and a comfortable feel against the skin, while maintaining the durability needed for demanding manual work.
- Insulated Padded Lining: The internal padding acts as a thermal barrier, trapping heat to keep the wearer warm in cold environments without excessive bulk.
- Pre-shaped Elbows: This anatomical design feature allows for a greater range of movement, reducing fabric resistance when reaching or lifting.
- Reflective Trim: Positioned on the back vent, the reflective detail enhances visibility in low-light conditions, providing an additional layer of safety on-site.
- Multiple Storage Pockets: Designed for practicality, the jacket features several pockets to keep essential tools and personal items secure and accessible.
- Adjustable Fit: Hook and loop cuff adjustments and side elastication allow the wearer to customise the fit, preventing draughts and ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Design & Performance
This jacket is built for performance in environments where both durability and warmth are non-negotiable. The two-tone black and grey design provides a modern look that hides dirt effectively, while the substantial cotton outer shell is resilient against abrasions. The engineering focuses on the user's mobility; the pre-shaped elbows and side elastication ensure that the garment moves with the body rather than restricting it. This is a sturdy, well-insulated garment that maintains its shape and protective qualities even after repeated use in challenging conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The 100% cotton outer fabric of the WX1 jacket provides an excellent canvas for customisation. For companies seeking a professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos and staff names, as the dense weave of the cotton supports high-stitch-count designs with precision. Alternatively, for larger branding requirements on the back or chest, high-quality heat-applied printing is an effective option for bold, visible designs.

Practical Advice
As this is an insulated jacket with a padded lining, we recommend considering your layering requirements. If you intend to wear a heavy sweatshirt or fleece underneath, you may wish to review the sizing to ensure maximum comfort and range of motion. The side elastication does provide some flexibility, but a correct initial fit is essential for maintaining thermal efficiency.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and the integrity of the cotton fabric, it is essential to follow the care instructions on the internal label. Proper washing ensures that the padded lining does not clump and that the 100% cotton outer maintains its strength and colour.
We advise against the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the natural cotton fibres and damage the vibrancy of any custom print or embroidery. When drying, avoid high-heat settings which can cause shrinkage and affect the jacket's tailored fit.
If ironing is required, please do so at a moderate temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed logos or reflective trims to prevent heat damage to the customisation.
