Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Space Organic Raglan Sweatshirt represents a sophisticated shift towards sustainable corporate and academic apparel. Crafted with a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, this sweatshirt provides a conscientious choice for organisations looking to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing garment quality.

Key Features
- Cotton-Faced Fabric: The exterior surface is specifically engineered for a smooth finish, which is particularly beneficial for achieving high-definition results during the customisation process.
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior provides a soft, thermal layer that ensures comfort and warmth throughout the working day or across a busy campus.
- 2x2 Ribbed Details: The collar, cuffs, and hem feature cotton and elastane ribbing, which helps the garment maintain its shape and prevents sagging after repeated wear.
- Taped Neck: This structural reinforcement improves the durability of the neckline and prevents irritation against the skin for the wearer.
- Half Moon Back Yoke: A premium design feature that adds internal strength to the garment's stress points while providing a clean, finished appearance.
- Unbranded Size Label: The absence of external branding at the neckline makes this an ideal choice for businesses wishing to establish their own internal brand identity or private label.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight sweatshirt is engineered for both longevity and comfort. The fabric composition of 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester strikes a balance between natural softness and synthetic resilience. This blend ensures the garment is breathable yet sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of daily use in a variety of professional or educational settings. It carries several certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, reflecting its high manufacturing standards.
The raglan sleeves are a deliberate design choice, allowing for a more natural fit around the shoulders compared to standard set-in sleeves. This construction is especially useful for individuals in active roles, as it eliminates the restrictive shoulder seams that can lead to discomfort during physical tasks. The standard weight of the fabric makes it an ideal year-round staple.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Space Sweatshirt is a versatile canvas for your branding. The smooth, cotton-faced fabric is exceptionally well-suited for print applications, allowing for intricate designs and vibrant colours that remain sharp over time. For those seeking a more sophisticated professional finish, the medium-weight fabric provides a stable foundation for high-density embroidery, ensuring logos remain crisp and do not pull the fabric.
Our in-house team in Telford, drawing on expertise dating back to 1976, manages the entire customisation process. Whether you require bold printed graphics for a university society or a subtle embroidered logo for a corporate team, we ensure your branding is applied with technical precision to match the quality of the garment.

Given its classic varsity-style raglan construction, this sweatshirt is an excellent choice for schools, colleges, and universities. It also serves as a professional option for businesses within the creative or technology sectors that prefer a relaxed yet professional appearance. Its organic credentials make it the primary choice for eco-conscious organisations and promotional events focused on sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Practical Advice
As a unisex garment, we recommend reviewing the sizing carefully to ensure a comfortable fit for all team members. The raglan sleeve offers a more forgiving fit across the chest and shoulders, making it a versatile option for diverse body types. For those working in cooler environments, this sweatshirt layers effectively over a polo shirt or base layer without becoming overly bulky or restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your sweatshirt, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper maintenance ensures the organic cotton fibres remain soft and the recycled polyester retains its structural integrity over time.
When washing, ensuring the garment is turned inside out helps to protect any custom print or embroidery from surface abrasion. Using excessive heat can lead to shrinkage or the distortion of your logo, so moderate settings are always advisable to preserve the garment's fit.
Avoiding the use of bleach is critical, as harsh chemicals can degrade the organic material and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, when drying, high temperatures should be avoided to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle. When ironing, avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from being damaged or compromised.
