Product Overview
The Tee Jays Half Zip Sweater is a sophisticated layering solution designed for professionals who require a balance of warmth and aesthetic precision. This fine-knit garment combines the natural properties of Merino wool with the resilience of polyacrylic, offering a refined appearance that suits corporate environments without sacrificing practical utility. Its tailored fit ensures a modern silhouette that sits comfortably under a blazer or over a shirt, providing a versatile alternative to traditional office attire.
Key Features
- Fully fashioned construction: This traditional method ensures the sweater maintains its shape and structural integrity over time, avoiding the sagging often associated with lesser-quality knitwear.
- SBS zip neck: The inclusion of a high-quality SBS zip allows for easy temperature regulation and provides a clean, professional finish at the collar.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem: These provide a secure fit, preventing the sleeves from riding up and ensuring the garment stays in place during a busy workday.
- Tailored fit: Engineered to follow the contours of the body, providing a sharp, professional appearance without excessive fabric bulk.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a 14-gauge fine knit, this sweater offers a smooth, dense surface that is both soft to the touch and resistant to pilling. The 50/50 blend of Merino wool and polyacrylic is a deliberate technical choice; the wool provides exceptional natural insulation and breathability, while the synthetic fibres increase the garment's durability and ease of maintenance. This combination ensures the sweater is substantial enough to provide warmth in cooler environments while remaining breathable enough for all-day indoor wear.
The garment is further backed by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and BSCI certifications. This means the textile has been tested for harmful substances and produced under socially responsible conditions, giving you confidence in the ethical pedigree of your uniform.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This fine-gauge sweater is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Given the premium nature of the Merino blend, we highly recommend embroidery for a truly distinguished look. Our Telford-based team can apply high-definition logos or individual names directly onto the fabric, creating a professional identity that lasts as long as the garment itself.
For organisations looking for larger, more vibrant branding, screen printing or heat transfer options are also available. However, the fine knit of the T6010 is particularly well-suited to the tactile depth of embroidery, which complements the texture of the wool blend perfectly and reinforces a high-end corporate image.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for corporate uniforms, front-of-house hospitality staff, and management roles. It bridges the gap between casual and formal wear, making it a versatile choice for consultants and sales professionals who move between office and client environments. Its lightweight yet warm construction also makes it a favourite for commuters.

Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Telford, we bring years of expertise to every stitch.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored fit garment, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure the best fit, particularly if you intend to layer it over a thick collared shirt. For those who prefer a more relaxed feel, you may wish to consider a size larger than your usual choice. This sweater layers exceptionally well under technical shells or wool overcoats for added winter protection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and finish of your Merino-blend sweater, it is essential to follow the recommended care protocols. Regular maintenance ensures the fibres retain their natural elasticity and prevents the garment from losing its shape.
This garment is machine washable, which is a significant advantage for a wool-blend item. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a wool-specific detergent to preserve the natural oils in the Merino fibres. Avoid high heat during the wash cycle, as this can lead to fibre shrinkage and may damage any custom branding applied to the fabric.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will break down the fabric's structure and dull the colour of the yarn. For best results, dry the garment flat to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the knit out of shape, and always iron on a low heat setting if necessary.
