- Broad Size Range: Available from XS to 3XL, ensuring all members of your team can be outfitted in a uniform that fits correctly and looks professional.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial polyester blend, this medium-weight jacket is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The fabric choice ensures that the garment is durable enough for site work yet refined enough for client meetings. Its softshell construction offers a natural stretch, which means it moves with the wearer rather than restricting them—a critical factor for active professionals. The fabric's density provides a sturdy feel without being overly cumbersome, striking the right balance for the UK's unpredictable climate.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance—ideal for company logos and individual names—and stands up to repeated washing without fading or losing its shape. For those requiring large, bold designs or a broader range of colours, our high-quality print service is an excellent alternative. Our expert in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure a superior finish.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for supervisors, site managers, and logistics staff who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor environments. Its professional look also makes it suitable for corporate branding, ensuring your team looks unified and professional in front of clients, regardless of the weather. Whether you are on a construction site or attending an outdoor event, the Appalachian jacket provides the necessary protection.

Practical Advice
The Appalachian jacket is available in a wide size range from XS to 3XL. To ensure the best fit, we recommend measuring over the clothing you intend to wear underneath. As this is a thermal garment, a single lightweight base layer is often sufficient for most UK weather conditions. If you are between sizes, we generally suggest opting for the larger size to allow for maximum range of movement during physical tasks.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical integrity of this thermal softshell, it is vital to follow the washing instructions on the garment's label. Proper maintenance ensures the fabric does not lose its protective qualities and ensures your branding remains sharp.
When washing, ensure you do not use bleach. Harsh chemicals will break down the polyester fibres, leading to a loss of structural integrity and potentially ruining the Midnight, Granite, or Black hues of your jacket.
Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures. Excessive heat can cause the softshell material to delaminate and the embroidery or print to warp, which rather defeats the purpose of investing in a professional-looking uniform.
Finally, avoid ironing the outer surface directly. The synthetic blend is sensitive to direct heat, and an iron that is too hot will damage the technical fabric, which is a mistake most people only make once.
