Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Sully Sweatshirt is a thoughtfully engineered garment designed to provide a professional appearance while meeting the demands of a busy work environment. This standard-weight sweatshirt is constructed from a premium blend of ringspun cotton and polyester, featuring a specialized cotton-faced fabric. This choice of construction is deliberate, providing an exceptionally smooth surface that is ideal for high-quality branding. Whether for a university society, an outdoor event, or a corporate uniform, the Sully offers a reliable balance of comfort and structural integrity.
Key Features
- Cotton faced fabric: Provides a superior surface for decoration, ensuring that printed logos appear sharp and vibrant without the interference of polyester fibres.
- Brushed back fleece: Enhances thermal properties by trapping air close to the body, providing essential warmth in cooler environments.
- Drop shoulder style: Offers a modern, relaxed fit that allows for a greater range of movement during physical tasks.
- 2x2 ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem: These reinforced areas help the garment retain its shape after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
- V-detail at the front neck: A classic design element that adds a touch of traditional sweatshirt styling for a more sophisticated look.
- Taped neck and half moon back yoke: Provides additional reinforcement to high-stress areas, preventing the neckline from stretching over time.
- Unbranded size label: Ideal for organisations looking to add their own internal branding or for retail purposes.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Sully sweatshirt lies in its material composition. By utilizing 80% ringspun cotton, the fabric achieves a softness that remains comfortable against the skin throughout a full shift. The addition of 20% polyester is a technical necessity, providing the garment with the required durability and resistance to shrinking that pure cotton might lack. The standard-weight fabric makes it a versatile choice for year-round wear, substantial enough to provide warmth but breathable enough for indoor use. The inclusion of the half moon back yoke is a subtle but important detail, ensuring the garment sits correctly on the shoulders even when the wearer is active.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Sully sweatshirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and choosing the right method depends on your specific branding goals. Because of the cotton-faced exterior, this garment is particularly well-suited for detailed print work, where clarity and colour reproduction are paramount. For those seeking a more traditional and durable finish, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, professional appearance that stands up to heavy use.
At MyWorkwear, our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We handle every stage of the customisation process to ensure your branding is executed to our exacting standards, reflecting the professional image your business deserves.
Use Cases
This unisex sweatshirt is a versatile asset for a variety of sectors. It is highly effective for school, college, and university uniforms, where durability and ease of care are essential. It also serves as excellent leisurewear for outdoor sports and events, providing a unified look for teams and staff. Its professional finish also makes it suitable for trade environments where a jumper might be too formal, but a t-shirt is insufficient.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex garment with a drop shoulder style, it offers a more generous fit. We recommend reviewing our size guides to ensure the correct choice for your team. This sweatshirt layers effectively over a polo shirt or t-shirt for added warmth, making it a flexible part of a layered uniform system.
Caring for your product
To ensure your sweatshirt maintains its professional finish and structural integrity, consistent care is required. Proper maintenance prevents the degradation of both the fabric and your custom branding.
Washing the garment at recommended domestic temperatures will prevent the cotton fibres from shrinking and ensure the brushed fleece interior remains soft. Avoid the use of aggressive bleaching agents, as these can break down the polyester-cotton blend and cause the colour to fade prematurely.
When it comes to drying, air drying is the most effective way to preserve the shape of the ribbed cuffs and collar. If you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low heat setting to avoid heat damage to printed designs.
Ironing should always be done on the reverse side of the garment. Applying direct heat to an embroidered or printed logo can cause permanent damage to the customisation and the surrounding fabric.
