Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Jelo Zipped Hoodie is an exceptionally substantial garment designed for those who require both warmth and durability in their daily attire. Constructed with a focus on structural integrity and comfort, this hoodie features a brushed back fleece that provides a soft internal feel while maintaining a heavy, protective exterior. The inclusion of a full-length silver metal YKK zip ensures smooth operation and longevity, distinguishing it from standard plastic alternatives found in lesser garments. With its drop shoulder design and unisex fit, it offers a contemporary silhouette that does not compromise on movement.
Key Features
- High-Quality Metal Hardware: The full-length silver metal YKK zip is selected for its reliability and smooth action, ensuring the fastening remains functional throughout the garment's life.
- Sophisticated Structural Details: Ribbed side inserts, cuffs, and hem help the hoodie retain its shape even after extensive wear, preventing the 'sagging' often associated with heavy fleece items.
- Lined Hood with Tonal Accents: The hood is fully lined for extra warmth and features a self-colour drawcord, providing a clean, cohesive appearance.
- Practical Storage: Classic front pouch pockets offer convenient storage for tools or personal items while keeping hands protected from the elements.
- Modern Ergonomics: The drop shoulder style allows for a more relaxed fit across the upper body, accommodating layering without restricting arm movement.
Design & Performance
The Jelo hoodie is engineered from a blend of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester, striking a calculated balance between natural breathability and synthetic durability. The heavy weight of the fabric makes it an ideal choice for colder environments where a standard sweatshirt would be insufficient. The brushed back fleece finish creates a lofted interior that traps heat effectively, while the high cotton content ensures a soft touch against the skin.
From an ethical and environmental perspective, this garment is notably decorated with certifications. It is PETA-Approved Vegan and incorporates recycled materials, aligning with modern sustainability requirements. Furthermore, it meets REACH standards and is produced under the oversight of the Fair Wear Foundation and the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), ensuring that the technical quality is matched by responsible manufacturing practices.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we occasionally offer specific premium lines as 'non-customised' items to ensure they are available for immediate dispatch. This SOL'S Jelo hoodie is provided in its original, unbranded state to maintain its specific aesthetic appeal and to serve as a high-quality, blank canvas for those who require professional-grade apparel without the lead times associated with embroidery or print processes.
Use Cases
This heavyweight hoodie is perfectly suited for students at colleges and universities who need a reliable, warm layer for campus life. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff, tradespeople working in unheated environments, or anyone requiring a substantial outer layer for casual professional use during the autumn and winter months.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in assessing the technical merits of work-related apparel. Operating from our base in Telford, we have seen fabric technologies evolve, yet our commitment to providing durable, high-performance clothing remains unchanged. We select brands like SOL'S because they meet our rigorous standards for both construction and ethical compliance.
Practical Advice
Given the substantial nature of this fabric and the unisex 'drop shoulder' design, you may find the fit more generous than a standard fashion hoodie. We recommend reviewing the size guide carefully; if you are between sizes and prefer a closer fit for layering under a jacket, consider sizing down. The tear-out label is a thoughtful addition for those with sensitive skin or who prefer a completely smooth neckline.
Caring for your product
To ensure this heavyweight garment maintains its thermal properties and structural shape, it is important to follow standard care procedures for cotton-rich fleece. Proper maintenance will prevent the fabric from pilling and ensure the metal zip continues to glide effortlessly.
We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect the outer surface from friction during the cycle. Using a mild detergent and avoiding high-temperature drying will preserve the cotton fibres, preventing unnecessary shrinkage and ensuring the ribbed inserts retain their elasticity over time.
