Design & Performance
The design of the Yosemite fleece focuses on high-performance breathability and thermal regulation. The lightweight sweater-knit fabric provides a textured exterior that is significantly more durable than standard fleece, resisting the pilling often associated with lower-quality alternatives. The inclusion of elastic hem and cuff trims ensures the jacket retains its shape and provides a secure fit that blocks out drafts. Inside, the brushed fleece offers a plush feel that remains breathable, preventing overheating during physical activity. The contrast coverstitching and colour-matched trim provide a subtle, high-quality finish that aligns perfectly with a premium corporate image.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the unique sweater-knit texture of the Yosemite fleece, this garment is offered exclusively for embroidery. The raised, knitted surface is not suitable for heat-sealed prints, which may fail to adhere correctly or compromise the fabric's breathability. Embroidery, however, provides a prestigious and permanent branding solution. Our in-house embroidery department in Telford, established in 1976, utilises high-tension machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with precision, sinking perfectly into the knit for a finish that is as durable as the jacket itself. This method ensures your branding remains sharp and professional even after repeated laundering.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for client-facing roles where a professional yet practical appearance is required. It is an excellent choice for management teams, hospitality staff, or sales representatives who spend time both in the office and on-site. Given its lightweight nature and thermal properties, it also serves as an effective layering piece for logistics and delivery staff who transition frequently between vehicles and the outdoors.

Practical Advice
The Yosemite fleece features a streamlined silhouette designed to be worn over a base layer or light polo shirt. If you intend to wear thicker layers underneath, you may wish to consider moving up one size to ensure complete freedom of movement. For those working in more extreme conditions, this jacket functions exceptionally well as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof outer shell, providing the necessary insulation without causing restriction.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the aesthetic appeal of the sweater-knit fabric, we recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Using cold water helps preserve the recycled polyester fibres and prevents the garment from losing its shape over time.
It is vital to avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the breathability of the fleece. Similarly, do not use bleach, as it will weaken the fabric and cause the vibrant colour and your embroidered logo to fade prematurely.
For drying, we suggest either a low-temperature tumble dry or, ideally, hanging the jacket to air dry. High heat can damage the elastic trims and the polyester knit. If ironing is required, use a low setting and avoid the embroidered areas entirely to prevent melting the threads or flattening the decorative stitch work. This garment should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in the process are too harsh for the recycled materials.
