Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Raglan Hooded Sweatshirt is a masterclass in combining professional aesthetics with practical warmth. This heavyweight garment is specifically tailored for women, offering a structured yet comfortable silhouette that avoids the bulkiness often found in unisex alternatives. Constructed from a premium ringspun cotton-rich blend, it provides a superior surface for customisation while ensuring the wearer remains warm in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior fabric is brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that traps heat effectively, making it ideal for outdoor work or drafty warehouses.
- Raglan Sleeves: Unlike standard set-in sleeves, the raglan design extends in one piece to the collar, providing a greater range of arm movement and reducing pressure points when layering.
- Reinforced Hood Design: The two-panel lined hood offers structural integrity and a cleaner appearance, while the self-colour drawcord with metal tips ensures the adjustment mechanism will not fray or fail over time.
- Shape Retention: The deep ribbed cuffs and hem are infused with elastane, ensuring the garment maintains its fit and does not overstretch after repeated wear.
- Pouch Pocket: A classic front pouch provides convenient storage for small tools or a place to keep hands warm during breaks.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of this sweatshirt lies in its fabric composition. By using 70% ringspun cotton, Tee Jays has created a face fabric that is exceptionally smooth and durable. The addition of 30% polyester increases the garment's tensile strength and helps prevent the shrinkage often associated with high-cotton textiles. This heavyweight material is designed to withstand the rigours of a daily work schedule without losing its professional finish.
Furthermore, this product is backed by significant ethical certifications. The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 ensures the fabric is free from harmful substances, while the Better Cotton™ and BSCI initiatives guarantee that your workwear supports sustainable farming and social compliance across the global supply chain.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a versatile canvas for your company branding. The high ringspun cotton content provides an exceptionally flat and stable surface, which is essential for high-definition screen printing or heat transfer applications. For businesses seeking a more traditional and prestigious look, the heavyweight fabric is perfectly suited to high-stitch-count embroidery. Unlike lighter garments, this material can support detailed logos without puckering.
Our expert team in Telford has been handling professional customisation since 1976. We ensure that every logo is applied with precision to reflect the quality of your own business.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly well-suited for university and college leavers' hoodies where a premium feel is required. It also serves as excellent uniform for hospitality staff working in cooler environments, or for trade professionals who require a professional appearance that can still handle manual labor.

Practical Advice
Due to the heavyweight nature of this hooded sweatshirt, it functions exceptionally well as a standalone outer layer in transitional weather. For those working in sub-zero temperatures, we recommend sizing slightly up to allow for a thermal base layer underneath. The raglan sleeve is particularly beneficial if your role involves significant reaching or lifting.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your sweatshirt is straightforward but requires adherence to the specific guidelines to ensure longevity. This garment is rated for a 60°C wash, which is particularly useful for workwear as it allows for the effective removal of oils, greases, and bacteria that lower temperature washes might leave behind.
Following the 60°C wash instruction also ensures that the fabric's shape is set correctly. Neglecting the care instructions or using excessively harsh chemicals could lead to premature pilling or damage to the elastane in the cuffs. We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect any custom print or embroidery from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum.
