Product Overview
The SOL'S 10591, known as the Gentlemen Sleeveless V-Neck Sweater, is a sophisticated layering piece designed for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort or mobility. Crafted from a balanced blend of cotton and acrylic, this unisex jumper offers the natural breathability of cotton combined with the shape-retentive properties of synthetic fibres. The sleeveless design makes it an ideal choice for transitioning between seasons or for use in temperature-controlled office environments where a full-sleeved garment might prove too restrictive.
Key Features
- 12 Gauge Fine-Knit Construction: Provides a smooth, refined surface that looks professional under a blazer or over a formal shirt.
- Elastane Ribbed Armholes and Hem: The 1x1 ribbing contains elastane to ensure the garment maintains its shape and close fit, even after repeated wear and laundering.
- Classic V-Neck Design: Offers a timeless aesthetic that frames a shirt and tie perfectly, making it suitable for corporate and hospitality sectors.
- Sustainable Material Blend: The inclusion of cotton ensures comfort against the skin, while the acrylic and polyamide components provide the durability required for daily workwear.
Design & Performance
The engineering of the 10591 focuses on long-term performance in a professional setting. Being a fine-knit 12 gauge garment, it provides a lightweight layer that does not add excessive bulk to an outfit. The fabric composition—49% cotton, 49% acrylic, and 2% polyamide—is a technical choice; the cotton offers a soft hand-feel, the acrylic provides warmth and resists creasing, and the polyamide adds essential tensile strength to the knit. This combination ensures the jumper remains lightweight while standing up to the rigours of a busy working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This fine-knit jumper is an excellent canvas for branding. For a superior, professional finish, we recommend embroidery. The stable 12 gauge knit provides a secure foundation for intricate logos and text, ensuring that the branding remains crisp and does not pull at the fabric. Embroidery is particularly suited for corporate logos positioned on the chest, providing a permanent and high-quality appearance.
Alternatively, film transfer or screen printing can be used for larger, bolder designs. Our expert in-house team at MyWorkwear, based in Telford, has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We ensure that every customisation, whether embroidered or printed, meets our exacting standards for quality and longevity.
Use Cases
The SOL'S Gentlemen Sleeveless Jumper is a versatile addition to any staff uniform. It is particularly popular within the hospitality industry for waitstaff and front-of-house teams, as well as in corporate offices, estate agencies, and retail environments. Its sleeveless profile is also favoured by drivers and warehouse supervisors who require an extra layer of warmth while maintaining full range of motion for their arms.

Practical Advice
This jumper is designed with a unisex fit, making it a practical choice for outfitting a diverse workforce. For the best silhouette, we recommend layering it over a well-fitted collared shirt. If you are between sizes, consider the level of layering you intend to wear underneath; a slightly larger size may be preferable if worn over thicker formal shirts.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the fine-knit fabric is essential for preserving the professional look of your uniform. We advise strictly following the care instructions located on the internal garment label to prevent any unwanted changes to the fit or texture.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the cotton and acrylic fibres, leading to premature wear or discolouration. To protect the 1x1 elastane ribbing, it is recommended to dry the garment flat where possible, as hanging it while wet may cause the hem and armholes to stretch over time.
