Product Overview
The Stanley/Stella Sounder is a thoughtfully designed unisex hoodie that offers a modern, streamlined alternative to the traditional kangaroo-pocket sweatshirt. By moving the pockets to the side seams, this garment provides a flatter, more expansive front surface, making it an exceptional choice for businesses looking to showcase large-scale branding or intricate designs. Constructed from a premium blend of organic and recycled materials, it strikes a perfect balance between comfort and structural integrity, ensuring it remains a staple in your workwear wardrobe for years to come.
Key Features
- Discreet side-seam pockets: These provide practical storage while maintaining a clean, professional silhouette that is more versatile than standard pouch designs.
- Three-needle flatlock stitches: Applied to all seams, this high-specification stitching ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily wear without fraying or failing.
- Lined hood and matching drawcords: The self-fabric lining provides extra warmth and a premium finish, while the colour-matched drawcords offer a cohesive, high-end appearance.
- Embroidered buttonhole eyelets: A subtle detail that prevents the drawcord exits from fraying, demonstrating a commitment to long-term durability.
- Herringbone neck tape: This internal reinforcement prevents the neckline from stretching out of shape, ensuring the hoodie retains its fit even after multiple washes.
Design & Performance
The Sounder is engineered for both comfort and performance. The fabric is composed of 85% organic combed ringspun cotton and 15% recycled polyester, resulting in a medium-weight material that is substantial enough for cooler weather while remaining breathable. The interior is brushed to create a soft, fleecy texture against the skin, providing excellent thermal properties when used as a mid-layer.
The medium unisex fit is designed to be inclusive, offering a contemporary shape that suits a wide variety of body types. The 1x1 ribbing on the cuffs and hem includes a touch of elasticity to ensure the garment moves with the wearer and maintains its shape throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Sounder is a standout choice for customisation. Because the front of the hoodie is free from the traditional central pocket, our Telford-based team has a significantly larger area to work with. For those seeking a sophisticated, permanent finish, embroidery is recommended for chest logos or individual names, providing a texture and depth that exudes professionalism.
Alternatively, for high-impact branding or promotional events, the smooth surface of the organic cotton is ideal for high-definition printing. Whether you require a bold back print or a large central graphic, our in-house experts—utilising expertise built since 1976—will ensure your branding is applied with precision.
Use Cases
This hoodie is particularly well-suited for creative agencies, modern retail environments, and technical trades where a professional yet relaxed appearance is required. Its clean design makes it equally appropriate for customer-facing roles and as a high-quality team uniform for corporate events.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex medium-fit garment, we recommend reviewing the specific chest measurements provided in our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team. If you intend to wear this hoodie over several layers of clothing, you may wish to consider sizing up for additional comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the soft handle of the organic cotton, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may lead to unwanted shrinkage and can degrade the recycled polyester fibres over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the organic fibres and cause the colour to fade. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally will help preserve the fit and prevent the fabric from pilling.
When ironing, use a low temperature and ensure the garment is turned inside out. It is critical that you do not iron directly over any printed areas, as the heat will damage the transfer. For the best results and to protect your custom branding, always wash and iron the hoodie inside out.
