Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ribbed interlock half-zip (TJ058) is a sophisticated sweatshirt designed for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort. Constructed from a premium blend of ringspun combed cotton and polyester, this substantial, heavyweight garment offers a refined silhouette that is both stylish and practical. The interlock knit provides a smooth, stable surface that feels luxurious to the touch and performs exceptionally well in demanding work environments.
Key Features
- The inclusion of an SBS zip ensures a smooth, snag-free operation and long-term durability for daily wear.
- Reinforced herringbone neck tape helps the collar maintain its shape and provides a comfortable finish against the skin.
- Ribs with elastane are integrated into the cuffs and hem to provide excellent stretch and recovery, ensuring the garment does not lose its shape over time.
- The double pre-shrunk fabric ensures that the sweatshirt remains true to size, even after multiple laundry cycles.
- A specialised silicone treatment enhances the softness of the fabric and provides a sleek, high-end finish.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this garment is the 80% ringspun combed cotton and 20% polyester fabric. The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a stronger, smoother yarn that is less prone to pilling. This is further enhanced by the interlock knit construction, which creates a double-layer fabric that is significantly more stable and substantial than a standard jersey sweatshirt.
The design features a flat back rib which adds a subtle texture and technical depth to the garment. This combination of materials and construction methods ensures that the sweatshirt provides excellent thermal properties while remaining breathable enough for active use throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is an ideal canvas for corporate branding. For a professional and polished appearance, we recommend embroidery. The substantial weight and stable interlock knit provide an excellent foundation for dense embroidery patterns, ensuring your logo remains sharp and clear without fabric distortion.
For larger, bold designs or promotional messaging, high-quality printing is also a viable option. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques since 1976. Every order is handled by our experts in Telford, ensuring that whether you choose print or embroidery, the final result meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
The versatile nature of the TJ058 makes it suitable for various sectors, including corporate management, front-of-house hospitality, and high-end retail. Its durability also makes it a reliable choice for tradespeople who require a smart layer for client-facing meetings or as a warm mid-layer during outdoor work.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt features a modern, tailored fit. When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath; for those who prefer a looser fit for layering over heavy work shirts, moving up one size may be beneficial. The elastane-reinforced ribs provide flexibility, but the heavyweight fabric offers a structured feel rather than a loose drape.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your sweatshirt and the vibrancy of your branding, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for cleaning while protecting the integrity of the ringspun cotton fibres.
Always wash the garment with similar colours to avoid dye transfer. Using non-chlorine detergents is essential, as bleach will weaken the fabric structure and cause the colours to fade prematurely.
For drying, a low-heat tumble dry is recommended. Excessive heat can cause the cotton fibres to contract, leading to unwanted shrinkage. If your garment features a print, ensure you do not iron directly over the customised area, as the heat will damage the design and the fabric surface.
