Product Overview
The Tee Jays TJ018 Half-zip sweatshirt is a substantial, heavyweight garment designed for professionals who require a combination of thermal performance and a refined appearance. Constructed from a premium three-thread fabric, this sweatshirt offers a superior density that far exceeds standard alternatives, providing both durability and a soft, comfortable feel that is essential for long working days.
Key Features
- The three-thread fabric construction creates a dense, durable surface that is resistant to pilling and general wear.
- A brushed interior finish provides excellent thermal insulation, keeping the wearer warm in cooler environments without excessive bulk.
- Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed waistband contain elastane to ensure the garment retains its shape and snug fit, even after repeated use.
- Double pre-shrunk treatment significantly reduces the risk of the garment shrinking after washing, ensuring your fit remains consistent over time.
- The inclusion of two open side-seam pockets provides convenient storage for essential tools or personal items without compromising the sleek silhouette.
- A high-quality SBS zip ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability for the raised collar.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 70% ringspun combed cotton and 30% polyester is a deliberate choice to balance comfort with industrial-grade performance. The ringspun cotton provides a smooth, soft exterior that feels premium to the touch, while the polyester adds the tensile strength required to withstand the physical demands of active work. Because the fabric is double-dyed, the colour remains deep and consistent, resisting the fading that often occurs with lower-quality dyes. This attention to detail ensures the garment continues to represent your business professionally for much longer than a standard sweatshirt.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Due to the high-density weave and smooth combed cotton surface, the TJ018 is an exceptional candidate for customisation. For a refined, corporate aesthetic, we recommend embroidery; the heavyweight fabric provides a stable base that supports intricate needlework for logos and names without pulling or distorting the material. If your brand requires high-impact, bold visuals, our precision printing techniques offer a vibrant and long-lasting finish. Our in-house team in Telford, which has been operating since 1976, manages all customisation to ensure your workwear is finished to an expert standard.
Use Cases
This half-zip sweatshirt is ideally suited for corporate uniforms where a professional, smart-casual appearance is required. It is an excellent choice for site managers, logistics supervisors, and tradespeople who need a reliable layering piece that looks as good in a client meeting as it does on a job site. The raised collar and zip design allow for quick ventilation or added warmth as the work environment changes.

Practical Advice
This is a heavyweight sweatshirt, making it an excellent primary outer layer during transitional seasons or a dependable mid-layer underneath a waterproof shell in harsh winter conditions. We recommend checking the sizing guide provided, as the double pre-shrunk fabric offers a more stable and predictable fit than many other brands on the market.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of the fabric and the vibrancy of the double-dyed colour, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature ensures hygiene and cleanliness without subjecting the ringspun cotton fibres to excessive heat stress.
It is important to avoid using chlorine or bleach during the wash cycle. These substances will break down the integrity of the cotton fibres and will lead to premature fading of the garment’s colour. If you choose to tumble dry, please use a low setting to protect the elastane in the ribs and prevent potential heat damage.
When ironing, please take care to avoid any printed areas. High heat from an iron can cause the print to melt or peel. To keep your branding in top condition, we suggest ironing the garment on the reverse side. This maintains a crisp, professional appearance while ensuring your custom logo remains perfectly intact.
