Product Overview
The Tee Jays Mountain fleece bodywarmer (TJ087) is a sophisticated solution for those seeking a reliable mid-layer that performs across urban, industrial, and rural environments. Crafted from a heavy-weight recycled polyester fleece, this garment is specifically designed to handle the unpredictable transitions between seasons without the bulk of a full jacket. It combines a professional aesthetic with the ruggedness required for daily work, ensuring you remain warm and presentable whether you are on a site visit or managing operations in a cooler warehouse.
Key Features
- Heavy Anti-Pilling Fleece: The thick, plush fabric provides significant thermal insulation while resisting the bobbling often associated with lesser garments, maintaining a professional look over time.
- Reinforced Ripstop Panels: The shoulders feature a durable polyester and elastane blend that protects against wear and tear, particularly useful if you are frequently carrying equipment or bags.
- Premium SBS Zippers: Equipped with high-quality zips on the main closure and pockets, ensuring smooth operation and longevity even in demanding conditions.
- Strategic Pocketing: Includes two secure front zip pockets and a dedicated chest pocket, providing ample storage for tools, mobile devices, or essentials.
- Sustainable Construction: Utilising certified recycled polyester, this bodywarmer supports corporate environmental goals without compromising on fabric performance or tactile quality.
Design & Performance
Engineered for both comfort and resilience, the Mountain fleece bodywarmer features a thoughtful blend of materials. The main body consists of heavy-weight recycled polyester which offers a soft, substantial hand-feel and excellent heat retention. To address common wear points, Tee Jays has integrated reinforced panels on the shoulders made from a ripstop fabric containing elastane, which adds both durability and a slight stretch for better range of motion.
The addition of elastic banding at the sleeve hems ensures a snug fit that traps warmth, while the anti-pilling finish ensures the fleece remains smooth and clear of surface distortion. The result is a garment that feels as sturdy as it looks, providing a functional layer that does not restrict movement during physical tasks.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
This product is offered exclusively for embroidery. Due to the heavy, textured pile of the fleece and the reinforced panels, print methods are unsuitable as they cannot bond effectively with the fabric fibers. Embroidery, however, provides a premium, dimensional finish that sits proudly on the material.
Our in-house embroidery team, based in Telford since 1976, utilises high-tension stitching to ensure your company logo remains crisp and durable. The dense weave of this bodywarmer provides an excellent foundation for intricate thread work, resulting in a professional brand representation that will likely outlast the garment itself.
Use Cases
The TJ087 is an ideal choice for site supervisors, engineers, and outdoor tradespeople who require core warmth while keeping their arms free for manual tasks. Its clean design also makes it perfectly suitable for corporate uniforms in sectors such as logistics, event management, or agriculture, where a balance between a rugged workwear feel and a professional appearance is required.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this bodywarmer is generous, ranging from XS to 3XL, designed to be worn over shirts or base layers. If you intend to wear this over a heavy sweatshirt or work jacket, you may wish to consider the 'Sizing To Fit' measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the chest. The inclusion of elastane in the reinforced panels allows for some flexibility, but the heavy fleece is structured, so ensure there is enough room for your typical layering system.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal properties and the structural integrity of the recycled fibres, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Using a cooler wash cycle prevents heat damage to the synthetic fibres and helps the embroidery threads retain their lustre for a longer period.
Always wash this garment separately and ensure all SBS zippers are fully closed before placing it in the machine. Closing the zips prevents the teeth from snagging the fleece fabric or the embroidery during the agitation cycle. Avoid soaking the garment, as prolonged exposure to water can weaken the reinforced ripstop panels.
Do not tumble dry this bodywarmer. High heat in a dryer can cause the fleece to lose its soft texture and may lead to shrinkage or warping of the zippers. Instead, hang the garment to air dry naturally, which will help maintain the anti-pilling finish and overall shape of the garment.
