Product Overview
The Russell Athletic Essential softshell jacket is a calculated addition to any professional uniform.

It is a reliable choice for those who require a garment that looks as professional in a client meeting as it performs on a windy site.
Key Features
- Polyester Blend Construction: The fabric provides a flexible fit that moves with the wearer, ensuring comfort throughout a long shift without restricting movement.
- Broad Size Range: Available from XS to 3XL, allowing for a consistent and inclusive professional appearance across your entire workforce.
- Medium-weight Fabric: This jacket strikes a balance between providing warmth and maintaining breathability, making it suitable for year-round use in various environments.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a substantial polyester blend, this softshell jacket is built to withstand the daily demands of a busy working environment. The medium-weight fabric offers a clean, crisp finish that resists creasing, maintaining a professional appearance even after hours of active wear. Unlike heavier outerwear, the streamlined design allows for a full range of motion, which is essential for tradespeople who are constantly on the move.
The choice of professional colours—Black, French Navy, and Iron Grey—ensures that the jacket integrates seamlessly with existing company branding. The fabric’s surface is specifically chosen for its ability to hold customisation clearly, ensuring your company identity is presented with precision and clarity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation to suit your branding requirements.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance that is particularly well-suited for company logos and individual names. This method is highly durable and stands up to repeated washing without fading or losing its shape, making it a sound long-term investment. For those requiring large, bold designs or a broader range of colours, our printing service offers a vibrant and sharp finish that ensures your brand is easily recognised from a distance.
Every piece of customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. We have been refining our craft since 1976, ensuring that your workwear meets our exacting standards of quality before it leaves our facility.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for site managers, surveyors, and delivery drivers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. Its smart appearance also makes it ideal for front-of-house staff or technicians who interact directly with customers and need to maintain a superior finish.

Practical Advice
The medium-weight nature of this softshell makes it a versatile layering piece. For colder months, we recommend wearing it over a polo shirt or sweatshirt to trap heat effectively. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for easy movement during manual tasks.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your softshell jacket is essential for ensuring it continues to perform in varied conditions and keeps your branding looking professional. We recommend following the specific instructions found on the internal care label to prevent unnecessary wear to the polyester fibres.
Avoiding high temperatures during washing and drying is generally advisable, as excessive heat can degrade the fabric's flexibility and may affect the longevity of any applied print or embroidery. Proper care ensures the garment remains a staple of your work wardrobe for a significant period, providing excellent value for your business.
