Product Overview
The SOL’S Unisex Carter Full Zip Hoodie is a sophisticated choice for businesses and academic institutions seeking a balance between modern style and environmental responsibility. Engineered with a focus on durability and comfort, this medium-weight hoodie is constructed from a sustainable blend of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester. Its unisex design ensures a consistent appearance across a diverse workforce or student body, while the inclusion of an unbranded size label makes it an ideal choice for those looking to establish their own brand identity.
Key Features
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior fabric is brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that provides thermal efficiency without excessive bulk.
- Lined Hood with Self-Colour Drawcord: The double-layered hood offers enhanced structure and warmth, while the matching drawcord maintains a clean, uniform aesthetic.
- Covered Full-Length Zip: The plastic zip is covered by the fabric, providing a larger, uninterrupted surface area for printing across the chest.
- Jersey Half-Moon Locker Patch: Located at the inner neck, this patch provides additional reinforcement and a premium finish typically found in high-end retail garments.
- Front Pouch Pockets: These offer practical storage for essential items and a comfortable place for hands in colder conditions.
Design & Performance
This hoodie is designed for longevity in active environments. The drop shoulder style allows for a greater range of motion, reducing tension on the seams during physical activity. The ribbed cuffs and hem are engineered to retain their shape over time, preventing the garment from sagging even after repeated wear. Performance-wise, the high cotton content ensures breathability and a soft feel against the skin, while the recycled polyester provides the structural integrity needed to withstand the rigours of a busy working day.
Furthermore, this garment carries an impressive array of certifications, including Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and PETA-Approved Vegan status. It is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, ensuring it has been tested for harmful substances, making it a safe and ethical choice for your team.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL’S Carter is a versatile garment for all forms of customisation. The high cotton face of the fabric provides a smooth and stable surface, which is particularly beneficial for DTG (Direct to Garment) and screen printing, ensuring vibrant colours and sharp details. The covered zip is a critical design feature, as it allows for large-scale prints to be applied across the front of the hoodie without being broken by the zip track.
For a more traditional and prestigious look, embroidery is highly recommended. The medium-weight fleece provides a solid foundation for dense embroidery stitches, ensuring that company logos or names remain crisp and do not cause the fabric to pucker. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This hoodie is particularly well-suited for the education sector, specifically for university societies and school leavers' hoodies, where branding is paramount. It also serves as an excellent mid-layer for tradespeople and warehouse staff who require a garment that can transition from indoor tasks to outdoor deliveries. Its clean, unbranded look also makes it a favourite for promotional events and retail merchandise.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, we recommend comparing your chest measurements against our size guide, as the unisex cut is designed to be inclusive but may differ from high-street sizing. When layering, this medium-weight hoodie fits comfortably over a standard t-shirt or polo shirt and can be worn under a waterproof shell jacket without restricting movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the fleece and the vibrancy of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the care instructions on the internal label. Regular maintenance prevents the natural cotton fibres from breaking down prematurely and ensures the recycled polyester continues to provide the necessary garment strength.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can strip the dyes from the fabric and damage the delicate threads used in your embroidered logo. We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect the outer surface and any printed designs from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum.
