Key Features

- Silicone treatment: An advanced fabric finish that creates an exceptionally smooth surface, reducing pilling and enhancing the garment's handle.
- Self-fabric cuffs: These offer a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic than traditional ribbing, maintaining a streamlined profile.

Design & Performance
Crafted from a blend of 60% combed cotton and 40% polyester, this sweatshirt is built for durability and long-term performance. Combed cotton is superior to standard cotton, as the shorter fibres have been removed to create a stronger, softer yarn. This is paired with polyester to provide the necessary resilience required for demanding work environments. The result is a heavyweight fabric that feels substantial and offers excellent insulation. The inclusion of an SBS zip on the sleeve pocket reflects the technical quality of the garment, ensuring reliable functionality for daily use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The dense, high-quality surface of this Tee Jays sweatshirt makes it an ideal candidate for professional customisation. For a refined, executive appearance, we recommend embroidery. The heavyweight fabric provides a stable foundation for intricate needlework, allowing company logos and employee names to sit perfectly without distorting the garment. For larger, more vibrant branding requirements, our high-definition printing services are highly effective on this smooth, silicone-treated surface. All customisation is performed by our expert team in Telford, drawing on our heritage in the industry since 1976.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for modern business environments, including retail management, premium hospitality roles, and corporate events. Its athletic design also makes it a practical choice for fitness professionals and personal trainers who require a smart yet functional uniform. The added utility of the zipped sleeve pocket makes it a favoured choice for staff who need to carry small tools or technology while remaining mobile.

Practical Advice
The Athletic crew neck sweatshirt is designed with a modern fit that follows the contours of the body. If you intend to wear this as a top layer over multiple garments or prefer a more generous fit, you may find it beneficial to select one size larger than your usual measurement. The double pre-shrinking process ensures that once you have found your size, it will remain consistent wash after wash.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and finish of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without subjecting the combed cotton fibres to excessive thermal stress, which helps prevent premature wear.
It is important to wash this garment with similar colours to avoid dye migration, which can dull the appearance of the fabric. Use only non-chlorine bleach when necessary; standard bleach will weaken the polyester-cotton blend and lead to a loss of fabric strength.
When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting. High heat can damage the silicone treatment and the SBS zip components. If your garment has been customised with a print, do not iron directly over the design. The heat from an iron will cause the print to melt or delaminate, permanently damaging your professional branding.
