Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Conrad 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt is a masterclass in combining professional aesthetics with modern sustainable practices. Constructed from a standard-weight fabric, this sweatshirt features a brushed back fleece interior that provides immediate warmth and a soft handle against the skin. Its 1/4 zip design offers a versatile look that bridges the gap between casual comfort and a structured uniform, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to upgrade their team’s professional appearance without sacrificing practicality.
Key Features
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior fabric is treated to create a soft, nap finish, which traps air for better insulation while remaining exceptionally comfortable for all-day wear.
- 1/4 Zip with Metal Pull: The sturdy plastic zip allows for easy temperature regulation, while the metal pull adds a touch of hardware durability and a premium feel.
- Drop Shoulder Design: This contemporary cut provides a more relaxed fit around the arms, allowing for a full range of movement during physical tasks.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: These ensure the garment retains its shape over time and prevents heat from escaping, keeping the wearer warm in cooler environments.
- Jersey Half Moon Locker Patch: A reinforced section at the back of the neck that adds structural integrity and provides a neat space for internal branding.
- Unbranded Size Label: Perfect for businesses or clothing lines that wish to add their own internal branding without the clutter of manufacturer logos.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is engineered from a blend of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester. This composition is a deliberate choice: the high cotton content ensures breathability and a natural feel, while the recycled polyester adds essential durability and helps the garment maintain its shape after repeated laundering. The inclusion of recycled materials also aligns with modern corporate social responsibility goals, supported by Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification.
The taped neck provides a smooth finish against the skin, reducing irritation often caused by seams, and reinforces the area most prone to stretching. This attention to detail ensures the Conrad sweatshirt remains a staple of your work wardrobe for the long term.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Conrad sweatshirt is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its smooth outer face is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery, handled by our expert in-house team in Telford.
For a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery. It is the gold standard for company logos and individual names, providing a three-dimensional, high-quality look that withstands the rigours of daily work. If you require large, vibrant back designs or complex graphics, our technical printing processes ensure sharp lines and lasting colour. Having been established in 1976, we have the experience to ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This unisex sweatshirt is a versatile performer across many sectors. It is particularly suited for front-of-house staff in trade environments, warehouse supervisors who need a smart but warm layer, or as part of a cohesive event uniform. Because of its standard-weight construction, it is substantial enough for outdoor use in mild weather while remaining comfortable for indoor office or retail work.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex garment with a drop shoulder style, it offers a more generous fit. If you prefer a more tailored appearance, you may wish to consider sizing down, though the standard fit is ideal for layering over polo shirts or t-shirts during the winter months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your sweatshirt, it is vital to follow the care instructions found on the internal label. Proper maintenance ensures the brushed fleece stays soft and the structural integrity of the ribs and collar remains intact.
When washing, always turn the garment inside out. This simple step protects the fabric's outer face and, more importantly, shields your embroidered or printed logo from the abrasive action of the drum, preventing premature wear or fading.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause the cotton to lose its depth of colour. Similarly, air drying is preferable to tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and to preserve the crispness of any applied print designs.
