Product Overview
The SF Feel Good Stretch Vest is an essential garment for those requiring a combination of modern styling and functional performance. Designed with a contemporary longline, slim fit, this vest provides a streamlined silhouette without sacrificing comfort. The inclusion of elastane within the fabric blend ensures the garment moves with the wearer, making it particularly suitable for environments where physical activity is frequent. Each piece undergoes an enzyme wash process, resulting in a remarkably soft surface that enhances the premium feel of the workwear.
Key Features
- Enzyme Wash Finish: This specialized treatment creates a unique, soft hand-feel against the skin, reducing the roughness often found in standard cotton vests.
- Self-Fabric Binding: The neck and armholes are finished with self-fabric binding, which reinforces these high-stress areas and maintains the garment's structural integrity over time.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Applied to the sleeves and hem, this double-stitched finish provides a secure seam that resists unravelling, even after repeated industrial or domestic laundering.
- Tear-Out Label: A practical feature for businesses looking to add their own internal branding, allowing for a completely bespoke finish.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 96% cotton and 4% elastane creates a medium-weight jersey that is both breathable and resilient. The cotton provides natural moisture-wicking properties, while the elastane provides the necessary stretch to prevent the vest from becoming misshapen during a shift. The modern longline cut ensures the vest remains tucked in or provides full coverage during overhead tasks, reflecting a thoughtful approach to professional apparel design.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This vest is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to represent your brand with clarity. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a sophisticated and permanent finish. For larger, high-impact branding across the back or chest, our printing services offer vibrant colour reproduction that remains flexible with the stretch of the fabric. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring the high standards we have maintained since 1976 are applied to every stitch and print.
Use Cases
Given its slim fit and flexible nature, this vest is ideally suited for professionals in the fitness and leisure industries, such as personal trainers or gym staff. It is also a popular choice for outdoor workers during the summer months or as a breathable base layer for tradespeople working in high-temperature environments. Its clean lines also make it a superior choice for promotional events where a modern appearance is required.

Practical Advice
This garment is designed with a modern slim fit. If you or your team prefer a more traditional, relaxed fit, we recommend selecting a size larger than your usual measurement. The elastane content will accommodate movement, but the initial cut is tailored close to the body. For those requiring a grey option, please note the fabric composition varies slightly to include viscose, which provides the characteristic heathered appearance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your vest, we recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime while protecting the elastane fibres from heat degradation, which can lead to the garment losing its shape.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the cotton fibres and cause the colours to fade prematurely. When ironing, please use a medium heat setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse of any decoration to prevent the heat from damaging the print or embroidery.
Do not tumble dry or dry clean this garment. Tumble drying can lead to excessive shrinkage and may crack any printed logos. We suggest re-shaping the vest while damp and drying it out of direct sunlight to ensure the colours remain vibrant and the fit remains true to size.
