Product Overview
The Tee Jays Mountain fleece (TJ086) represents a sophisticated approach to functional outerwear, combining substantial warmth with a professional silhouette. Constructed from heavyweight recycled polyester, this fleece is designed to withstand the demands of active work environments while maintaining a sharp appearance. It features a strategic blend of soft, heat-retaining fleece and high-strength ripstop panels on the shoulders and elbows, areas that typically experience the most wear and tear. This is not merely a layer for the commute; it is a hard-working garment built for longevity and performance in cooler conditions.
Key Features
- Heavyweight Recycled Polyester: Provides significant thermal insulation while meeting modern sustainability standards through its certified recycled origin.
- Reinforced Ripstop Panels: Durable panels on the shoulders and elbows prevent premature wear in high-friction areas, ensuring the garment remains fit for purpose over time.
- High-Quality SBS Zippers: Robust zips used on the front and pockets ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability even with frequent use.
- Anti-Pilling Treatment: The fleece fabric is treated to resist the formation of small bobbles, keeping your professional branding looking crisp and the garment feeling soft.
- Secure Storage: Two front zipped pockets and an additional chest pocket provide ample space for essential tools or mobile devices.
- Elastic Banding at Cuffs: Ensures a secure fit around the wrists to prevent heat loss and keep sleeves from interfering with manual tasks.
Design & Performance
This fleece is engineered for those who require both comfort and durability. The main body consists of a heavy-weight fleece that offers a soft hand-feel and excellent heat retention. By incorporating a second fabric—a blend of recycled polyester and elastane ripstop—on the shoulders and elbows, Tee Jays has addressed the common failure points of standard fleece jackets. These reinforced sections provide the necessary resilience for carrying equipment or working in tight spaces. The inclusion of SBS zippers and a certified recycled composition demonstrates a commitment to quality components and environmentally conscious manufacturing without compromising on the garment's rugged performance.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
The Mountain fleece is suited exclusively for embroidery. Given the deep, textured pile of this heavyweight fleece, print methods would struggle to adhere correctly or provide a smooth finish. Embroidery, however, allows the thread to be securely anchored within the fabric, resulting in a premium, Three-dimensional finish that complements the garment's quality. Our in-house embroidery team, operating since 1976, utilises high-tension machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with precision, providing a professional appearance that will outlast the garment itself.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for tradespeople working in unheated environments, site managers requiring a professional yet practical outer layer, or corporate teams engaged in outdoor events. Its extensive size range, from XS to 5XL, ensures it is a versatile choice for outfitting a diverse workforce. The sophisticated design also makes it suitable for customer-facing roles where a standard sweatshirt might be considered too casual, but a formal jacket too restrictive.

Practical Advice
The Mountain fleece is designed with a generous fit to accommodate layering. We recommend pairing it with a moisture-wicking base layer for optimal thermal regulation. For those between sizes or preferring a more tailored fit, we suggest consulting our size guide, as the elasticated sleeve hems provide a snug fit regardless of the layer beneath.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of your fleece, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps preserve the recycled polyester fibres and prevents the anti-pilling treatment from degrading prematurely.
It is essential to wash this garment separately from items with abrasive hardware and to ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Leaving zippers open can cause the metal teeth to snag the soft fleece or damage the embroidery threads. Avoid soaking the garment, as prolonged exposure to water can weaken the fabric's structure.
Do not tumble dry the Mountain fleece. High heat from a dryer can cause the synthetic fibres to shrink or lose their shape. Instead, hang the garment to air dry naturally. Similarly, bleaching agents should be avoided as they will strip the dye and damage the recycled polyester composition.
