Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ribbed Interlock Crew Neck Sweatshirt is a substantial, premium garment designed for professionals who require more from their workwear than a standard fleece. Constructed using a dense interlock knit, this sweatshirt offers a smoother, more refined surface compared to traditional jersey fabrics. The unbrushed interior ensures a clean, breathable feel against the skin, making it an ideal choice for year-round wear where a heavy, structured appearance is preferred over bulkier alternatives.
Key Features
- Interlock Knit Construction: The double-knit structure provides a stable, dense fabric that holds its shape and offers a superior surface for detailed customisation.
- Elastane-Reinforced Ribbing: The collar, cuffs, and hem incorporate elastane to prevent sagging and ensure the garment retains its professional silhouette after repeated laundering.
- Herringbone Taped Neck: This internal reinforcement provides additional comfort against the skin while preventing the neckline from stretching out over time.
- Stitched V-Detail: A traditional design element at the front neck that reinforces the area and adds a subtle, classic aesthetic to the garment.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is engineered from a high-quality blend of 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester. The use of ringspun cotton ensures a softer, stronger yarn, resulting in a garment that is both comfortable for long shifts and resilient enough for daily wear. Because it is a heavyweight fabric, it provides natural insulation and warmth without the need for a fuzzy, brushed lining, which can often pill or lose its texture over time. The interlock weave creates a tighter fabric density, which not only improves durability but also provides a flatter canvas for branding.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The dense interlock knit of this Tee Jays sweatshirt makes it an exceptional candidate for both print and embroidery. For a formal corporate identity, embroidery is highly recommended; the weight of the fabric easily supports high-stitch-count logos without puckering, creating a durable and prestigious finish. Alternatively, for larger promotional graphics or festive designs, our high-quality printing processes benefit from the exceptionally smooth surface of the interlock knit. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles where a sharp, professional appearance is required alongside the comfort of a sweatshirt. It is equally popular as high-quality loungerwear or as part of a premium festive uniform. Its durability and sustainable credentials—including certifications from OEKO-TEX, BSCI, and Better Cotton™—make it a reliable choice for businesses looking to provide long-lasting staff gifts or professional corporate wear.

Practical Advice
Given the heavyweight nature and structured interlock knit of this sweatshirt, it works excellently as a standalone outer layer in milder weather or as a reliable middle layer under a professional jacket. We recommend reviewing the size guide carefully, as the dense fabric offers a more structured fit than lightweight alternatives, providing a more tailored silhouette that holds its form well.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of this heavyweight sweatshirt, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions found on the garment label. Proper care ensures the ringspun cotton remains soft and the polyester blend continues to provide shape retention over many months of use.
When washing, avoid excessive heat which can degrade the elastane in the ribbed cuffs and collar, leading to a loss of shape. Furthermore, high temperatures can adversely affect custom print or embroidery, potentially causing the branding to crack or the threads to lose their lustre. Natural air drying is always preferable to high-heat tumble drying to prevent any unwanted shrinkage in this substantial cotton-rich fabric.
