Tee Jays Hooded sweatshirt (5430)

Product Overview

The Tee Jays Hooded Sweatshirt (TJ016) represents a premium approach to everyday workwear. Engineered as part of 'The Heavyweight Collection', this sweatshirt is designed for those who require a substantial, durable garment that does not sacrifice comfort. It is constructed from a high-quality blend of ringspun combed cotton and polyester, offering a superior finish that stands up to the rigours of a busy working day while maintaining a professional appearance.

Key Features

• Three-Thread Fabric: This advanced construction technique ensures a denser, more stable fabric that provides exceptional durability and a smoother surface for customisation.
• Brushed Interior: The inside of the garment has been carefully brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that provides warmth and comfort during long shifts.
• Double Pre-Shrunk: By pre-shrinking the fabric twice, Tee Jays ensures that the sweatshirt maintains its original fit and shape even after multiple wash cycles.
• Ribs with Elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the cuffs and waistband allows the garment to stretch and recover, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior alternatives.
• Double Stitched Seams: Reinforced stitching across critical areas ensures the garment remains intact under physical stress, extending its wearable life.

Design & Performance

The performance of this hooded sweatshirt is rooted in its material composition of 70% ringspun combed cotton and 30% polyester. The ringspun cotton provides a soft, low-lint surface, while the polyester adds the necessary tensile strength for a workplace environment. This sweatshirt has been double-dyed, resulting in a deeper, more consistent colour that resists fading over time.

The design includes a classic large front pouch pocket for practical storage and an adjustable hood for protection against the elements. The heavyweight nature of the fabric makes it an ideal outer layer for spring and autumn or a substantial insulating layer for the winter months.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

This sweatshirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor it to your brand’s specific requirements. Embroidery is highly recommended for corporate logos and staff names, providing a sophisticated, long-lasting finish that reflects the quality of your business. The dense three-thread fabric provides a stable base that prevents the puckering sometimes associated with heavy embroidery designs.

Alternatively, the smooth surface of the ringspun cotton is perfectly suited for high-definition printing. This is ideal for larger promotional graphics or bold branding on the back of the garment. All customisation is carried out by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure a superior result.

Use Cases

The TJ016 is versatile enough for a variety of professional settings. It is a popular choice for tradespeople who require warmth and durability on-site, as well as for delivery drivers and warehouse staff. Its high-quality finish also makes it suitable for corporate branding in more relaxed office environments or for customer-facing teams who need to balance comfort with a professional appearance.

Practical Advice

The sizing for this hooded sweatshirt ranges from Small to 3XL. Given its heavyweight construction, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you intend to wear multiple layers underneath. The double pre-shrunk fabric means you can buy with confidence, knowing the fit will remain consistent throughout the life of the garment.

Caring for your product

To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your sweatshirt, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. This garment is safe to wash at 60°C, which is particularly beneficial for removing stubborn workplace grime and ensuring a high standard of hygiene.

When washing, always group with similar colours to prevent dye transfer. We recommend a low-temperature tumble dry setting; excessive heat can damage the cotton fibres and lead to unnecessary wear. Avoid the use of chlorine or bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the fabric strength and cause the double-dyed colours to fail prematurely.

If your sweatshirt features a printed design, do not iron directly over the print. High heat from an iron can melt the print material, causing it to peel or smudge. To protect your branding, iron the garment inside out or avoid the printed area entirely.
