Product Overview
The Stella Ida (STSW214) by Stanley/Stella represents a significant step forward in premium, sustainable workwear for women. This zip-through hoodie sweatshirt is crafted from 100% organic combed ringspun cotton, offering a substantial and luxurious feel that distinguishes it from standard leisurewear. Designed with a modern silhouette, it features dropped shoulders for a relaxed fit, balanced by an adjusted length that ensures a tidy, professional appearance. The brushed interior provides exceptional warmth and comfort, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking high-quality apparel that reflects their commitment to both staff well-being and environmental responsibility.
Key Features
- Organic Combed Ringspun Cotton: The use of long-staple organic fibres results in a smoother, stronger fabric that provides a superior surface for custom branding.
- Double-Layered Hood: Constructed with self-fabric lining, the hood offers additional structure and warmth compared to single-layer alternatives.
- Covered Metal Zip: The centre front zip is discreetly covered, providing a sleek, uninterrupted surface and preventing the metal from catching on external equipment.
- Dropped Shoulders: This design choice allows for a greater range of movement and a contemporary, comfortable fit across the upper body.
- Two-Needle Topstitching: All seams are reinforced with double-needle stitching, significantly increasing the garment's longevity and resistance to wear in active work environments.
Design & Performance
The technical construction of the Stella Ida focuses on durability and aesthetic consistency. The 100% organic combed ringspun cotton has been selected for its softness and its ability to withstand frequent laundering without losing shape. The 1x1 ribs at the cuffs and bottom hem are engineered with high elasticity to ensure they remain snug, preventing heat loss and maintaining the hoodie's silhouette over time. Internally, the addition of grosgrain back neck tape and a self-fabric half moon at the back neck not only enhances comfort by preventing irritation but also provides a reinforced area for internal branding or labelling.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. The high-quality, combed cotton surface is particularly well-suited for detailed screen printing or digital transfers, ensuring vibrant colours and sharp lines. For a refined, professional finish, embroidery is highly recommended; the substantial weight of the fabric supports dense stitch counts for logos and names without pulling or puckering. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been delivering specialist workwear solutions since 1976.
Use Cases
The Stella Ida is perfectly suited for premium hospitality environments, corporate events, and as high-end team uniforms for creative agencies. Its sustainable credentials, including GOTS and PETA-approved vegan certifications, also make it the preferred choice for organisations with strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.

Practical Advice
The Stella Ida features an 'adjusted length' which provides a more tailored look than standard unisex hoodies. We recommend reviewing our size guide, which covers UK sizes 8 (XS) through to 18 (2XL), to ensure the best fit for your team. This garment layers effectively over organic t-shirts or under heavier jackets in colder conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the premium feel of the organic cotton and the integrity of your customisation, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can stress the natural fibres and may cause slight shrinkage or fading of printed elements.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these will break down the organic cotton fibres and damage the vibrancy of your embroidered or printed logo. This garment should not be tumble dried; instead, reshape it while damp and allow it to air dry naturally to preserve the shape and prevent the zip from warping.
If ironing is required, use a setting no higher than 110°C and ensure you iron on the reverse of any printed areas. Finally, do not dry clean this hoodie, as the chemicals used in the process are too aggressive for the organic material and the adhesives used in many printing methods.
