Product Overview
The SF High Neck Vest (SK232) is a contemporary addition to a professional wardrobe, designed specifically for those who require a modern, athletic silhouette without sacrificing freedom of movement. This lightweight garment features a high crew neck and distinctive raw edge slash armholes, offering a fashion-forward alternative to standard workwear vests. Its construction from a cotton-polyester blend ensures a comfortable stretch and a clean finish that holds its shape through the working day.
Key Features
- High Neck Crew Design: Provides a sophisticated, athletic profile that offers more coverage than a traditional vest while remaining breathable.
- Slash Armholes with Raw Edge Detail: These provide a wide range of motion, making it ideal for active roles, while the raw edges contribute to a modern, stylish aesthetic.
- Twin-Needle Stitching at Hem: This reinforced stitching ensures the lower edge of the garment remains secure and resists fraying or unravelling over time.
- Tear-out Label: A practical feature for businesses looking to rebrand garments or for individuals who find traditional labels irritating against the skin.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a lightweight single jersey fabric, this vest is composed of a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend. This specific composition combines the natural breathability and softness of cotton with the durability and moisture-wicking properties of polyester. For the Heather Grey variant, a mix of 85% cotton and 15% viscose is used to achieve the textured finish while maintaining a soft hand-feel.
The fabric is chosen for its ability to withstand frequent wear while maintaining a lightweight feel that is perfect for layering or high-activity environments. The inclusion of the raw edge detail on the armholes and hem is a deliberate design choice that provides a relaxed, contemporary look without compromising the garment's structural integrity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SF High Neck Vest is highly versatile when it comes to branding. For those seeking a formal, high-end finish for company logos or staff names, our embroidery service provides a textured and durable result. Embroidery is particularly suited for smaller, intricate designs on the chest area.
Alternatively, the smooth single jersey surface makes this vest an excellent candidate for screen printing or heat transfer. This is the preferred method for larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging that needs to stand out. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with the highest level of precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is exceptionally well-suited for several professional and recreational environments. It is a popular choice for fitness professionals and personal trainers who require clothing that moves with the body. Additionally, its high-fashion styling makes it ideal for promotional events, festival wear, or as a modern staff uniform in creative and retail sectors.

Practical Advice
As this is a lightweight, fashion-fit garment, it is an excellent choice for layering under hoodies or jackets during cooler months, or as a standalone piece in warmer weather. We recommend reviewing our size guide, which ranges from XS (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 18), to ensure the athletic fit meets your requirements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your vest, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C using a synthetic cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt without putting undue stress on the fabric fibres or the custom decoration.
It is important to avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried; instead, re-shape it while damp and allow it to air dry. Exposure to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause shrinkage and may damage any printed branding.
When ironing, please use a medium setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse of any decoration. Direct heat on a print or embroidery can cause the design to melt or distort. Finally, avoid dry cleaning and ensure that dark colours are washed together to prevent colour transfer, and dry the garment out of direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading.
