Design & Performance
The fabric used in this sweatshirt is a heavyweight, brushed-back polyester fleece that offers excellent durability for demanding manual roles. Unlike lighter alternatives, this substantial fabric provides a significant barrier against the cold while remaining breathable enough for physical exertion. The contrast design is a practical inclusion; by placing darker fabric in high-wear areas, the garment maintains a professional appearance for longer by concealing the inevitable dirt and grease of the workplace.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is an ideal candidate for customisation. For a traditional and authoritative professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or individual names. The dense fleece fabric provides a stable foundation for high-quality stitching, ensuring your brand remains sharp through repeated wear. For larger, high-impact graphics or safety identifiers on the rear, our precision printing services offer a bold and durable finish. All branding is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting the art of workwear customisation since 1976.
Use Cases
With its Class 3 safety rating, this sweatshirt is perfectly suited for heavy construction, logistics, and roadside assistance. The orange variant is specifically required for workers in the rail sector. It is a versatile piece that functions effectively as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a core insulating layer beneath a waterproof jacket during the winter months.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt is available in a wide size range from Small to 4XL. For the best performance, ensure the garment is sized correctly to allow for full range of motion without being overly baggy, as loose fabric can be a snagging hazard. The generous cut allows for comfortable layering over a polo shirt or base layer.
Caring for your product
To preserve the performance of the high-visibility reflective tapes, we recommend a mild wash with a low spin cycle. Excessive mechanical agitation can degrade the reflective properties that are vital for your safety.
Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these will damage the polyester fibres and cause the fluorescent colours to fade. This garment should not be tumble dried or ironed; high heat can melt the synthetic fleece and permanently damage the safety strips. Always ensure all fasteners are closed and the garment is turned inside out before washing to protect any custom embroidery or print.
Store the sweatshirt in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Constant exposure to UV light can eventually reduce the effectiveness of the fluorescent dyes, while storing it damp may lead to mildew development.
