Product Overview
The Tee Jays Athletic Crew Neck Sweatshirt is a sophisticated evolution of a core workwear staple. Engineered for those who require both a professional appearance and functional performance, this heavyweight garment offers a clean, modern silhouette that avoids the bulkiness of traditional sweatshirts.

Design & Performance
Constructed from a 60% ringspun cotton and 40% polyester blend, the T5700 is designed for long-term performance. The use of ringspun cotton ensures a softer, stronger yarn that resists pilling, while the polyester component adds essential durability and shape retention. This sweatshirt is unbrushed, which results in a thinner profile and a cleaner internal finish, ideal for layering without feeling restricted.
Furthermore, this garment carries significant ethical credentials. With OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, you can be certain the textile is free from harmful substances. The inclusion of Better Cotton™ and BSCI compliance reflects a commitment to sustainable and socially responsible manufacturing, providing peace of mind for the ethically conscious business owner.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the ringspun cotton makes this sweatshirt an ideal canvas for customisation. For a professional and long-lasting finish, we highly recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. The heavyweight fabric supports the stitching perfectly, ensuring your branding remains crisp and permanent.
If your requirements include large, vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing techniques are equally effective on this fabric blend. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience established since 1976 to ensure your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is versatile enough for a variety of environments, from premium gym and leisure wear to high-end corporate workwear. It is particularly suited for staff in active roles who need to maintain a sharp, coordinated look while on the move, or for outdoor leisure activities where a substantial, insulating layer is required.

Practical Advice
Given the heavyweight nature of this sweatshirt, it functions exceptionally well as a standalone outer layer in milder weather or as a robust mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket in harsher conditions. We recommend checking the size guide carefully to ensure the drop-shoulder design provides the desired fit for your specific team requirements.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of your sweatshirt is vital for ensuring it continues to represent your brand effectively over time.
Washing the garment according to the provided instructions ensures the ringspun cotton fibres remain strong and the colour stays vibrant. Neglecting these guidelines can lead to premature wear of the fabric and a loss of the garment's original shape.
Proper drying and ironing techniques are necessary to prevent the polyester fibres from being damaged by excessive heat. To protect your custom embroidery or print, always follow the specific maintenance advice for decorated garments, which typically involves avoiding high-heat settings and direct contact with iron surfaces on the branding.
