Product Overview
The Tee Jays Athletic Hooded Full Zip Sweat Jacket is a masterclass in functional activewear, specifically engineered for professionals who require a substantial layer that does not compromise on movement or aesthetic appeal. This heavyweight garment is constructed from a high-quality blend of ringspun combed cotton and polyester, providing a robust exterior with a soft, brushed back fleece interior for superior thermal insulation. It is a refined alternative to standard hoodies, offering a structured fit and technical details that elevate it beyond basic leisurewear.
Key Features
- Full-length SBS Zip: The inclusion of a high-quality SBS zip ensures reliable, smooth operation even with frequent use, allowing for easy temperature regulation.
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior fabric is brushed to create a soft pile, which traps air to provide significant warmth without adding unnecessary bulk.
- Left Sleeve Zip Pocket: A discreet and secure storage solution for small essentials, ensuring items are kept safe during active tasks.
- Taped Neck and Seams: Reinforced taping at the neck and an elastic taped hood and hem provide structural integrity, preventing the garment from losing its shape over time.
- Drop Shoulder Design: This construction allows for a broader range of motion in the arms and shoulders, which is essential for physical work or athletic activities.
Design & Performance
The performance of this sweat jacket is rooted in its material composition. By using 60% ringspun combed cotton, Tee Jays ensures a smoother, stronger yarn that resists pilling and provides a superior surface for branding. The 40% polyester component adds essential durability and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring the jacket dries faster and retains its shape after repeated washing. The heavyweight nature of the fabric makes it an ideal outer layer for transitional weather or a substantial mid-layer in colder environments. The addition of self-fabric cuffs and an elastic taped hem ensures a snug fit that keeps draughts at bay, maintaining core body temperature during outdoor shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Athletic Hooded Full Zip Sweat Jacket is an exceptional candidate for customisation. Its high cotton content and smooth surface finish make it particularly well-suited for embroidery, where our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos with a high stitch count to achieve a refined, professional appearance. The fabric's density ensures that the embroidery remains stable and does not pucker.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant branding, this jacket also takes print exceptionally well. Whether you are looking for a bold back print or sleeve branding, the premium fabric ensures excellent ink adhesion and longevity. Our in-house experts, with decades of experience since 1976, handle every stage of the process to ensure your branding reflects the quality of your business.
Use Cases
Given its athletic cut and durable construction, this jacket is ideal for the gymwear and performance sectors. It is equally at home in outdoor leisure environments or as part of a modern, active workwear uniform for tradespeople who require flexibility. Its professional look also makes it suitable for event staff or team branding where a high-quality, cohesive appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
As this is a heavyweight garment with a structured fit, we recommend considering the layers you intend to wear underneath when choosing your size. The drop shoulder design provides extra room for movement, but if you are between sizes, opting for the larger size will allow for more comfortable layering over technical base layers or polo shirts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of this garment, it is vital to adhere to the care instructions provided on the internal label. Regular maintenance according to these guidelines ensures the brushed fleece interior remains soft and the outer fabric maintains its resistance to pilling.
When washing, avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents. Bleach can break down the cotton fibres and cause significant damage to any custom print or embroidery, leading to premature fading and loss of detail. Instead, use a mild detergent to preserve the vibrancy of the fabric and the integrity of your professional branding.
We recommend air drying where possible. Excessive heat from tumble drying can cause the elasticated tapes in the hood and hem to lose their tension over time and may result in minor shrinkage of the cotton-rich fabric. If ironing is necessary, avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from lifting or distorting.
