Product Overview
The Tee Jays Half Zip Sweatshirt is a superior example of a well-engineered garment designed for those who require both comfort and a professional appearance. Constructed from a heavyweight fabric blend, this sweatshirt offers a substantial feel that is increasingly rare in modern workwear. The quarter-zip design provides a versatile aesthetic, bridging the gap between casual comfort and corporate presentation. Whether you are on the golf course or overseeing a project on-site, this sweatshirt delivers a polished look without sacrificing the practical warmth required for the British climate.
Key Features
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior has been treated to create a soft, fleecy texture that provides exceptional thermal insulation and a comfortable feel against the skin.
- Double Dyed Fabric: This intensive dyeing process ensures a deep, consistent colour that resists fading even after repeated cycles in the wash.
- Drop Shoulder Design: This contemporary cut allows for a more relaxed fit across the shoulders, ensuring ease of movement for physical tasks.
- Ribbed Trim with Elastane: The collar, cuffs, and hem feature elastane, which allows the garment to stretch and recover its shape, preventing the dreaded 'saggy' look over time.
- Taped Neck with Contrast Stitching: Reinforced neck seams provide extra durability in a high-stress area, while the contrast stitching adds a subtle, high-quality finish.
- Dual Front Pockets: Two integrated pockets offer a practical solution for warming hands or storing small essential items during the working day.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a blend of 70% ringspun cotton and 30% polyester, this sweatshirt strikes the perfect balance between natural breathability and synthetic resilience. The use of ringspun cotton ensures a smoother, stronger yarn which results in a finer surface finish, while the polyester component adds essential durability and crease resistance. As a heavyweight garment, it provides a reassuring sense of quality and significant protection against the elements.
This product is backed by serious credentials, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, ensuring no harmful substances are present. Furthermore, as part of the Better Cotton™ programme and BSCI compliant, you can be certain that your workwear meets high standards for environmental responsibility and ethical supply chain management.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the ringspun cotton makes this sweatshirt an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and authoritative appearance, we recommend embroidery; our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your company logo or staff names directly onto the chest, creating a permanent, textured finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
If you require large, bold branding—perhaps for a promotional event or high-visibility messaging—our printing services are the ideal choice. Our in-house customisation team, established in 1976, utilises the latest technology to ensure your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
Thanks to its smart 1/4 zip collar, this sweatshirt is highly versatile. It is a popular choice for golf clubs and sporting associations looking for a premium layer. It also serves as an excellent uniform piece for front-of-house staff, site managers, and trade professionals who need to maintain a tidy appearance while remaining active.

Practical Advice
This is a substantial, heavyweight sweatshirt. It works exceptionally well as a standalone outer layer in transition seasons or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket during the winter months. Due to the drop shoulder design, it offers a slightly more generous fit than a standard sweatshirt, which is ideal if you intend to wear a polo shirt or shirt underneath.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without subjecting the cotton fibres to excessive heat, which can lead to premature wear or shrinkage.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these will degrade the double-dyed finish and can damage the embroidery threads or printed logos. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment to preserve the elastane in the cuffs and hem, ensuring the sweatshirt retains its professional shape for as long as possible.
