Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ribbed Interlock Half Zip Sweatshirt represents a sophisticated step up from standard workwear. Constructed with a heavy-weight interlock knit, this garment offers a substantial feel and a smooth, stable surface that commands professional respect. Unlike standard sweatshirts, the unbrushed interior and high cotton content provide a crisp finish that retains its shape and professional appearance through repeated wear. The zip neck design allows for versatility in temperature control and styling, bridging the gap between a casual sweatshirt and a formal knitwear piece.
Key Features
- Interlock Knit Construction: This double-knit fabric provides a smooth surface on both sides, ensuring the sweatshirt is exceptionally stable and durable enough for daily professional use.
- High-Quality SBS Zip: The reliable SBS zip neck allows for easy adjustment, making it ideal for transitioning between outdoor tasks and indoor environments.
- Elastane-Reinforced Ribbing: The collar, cuffs, and hem feature elastane, which ensures the garment returns to its original shape and prevents sagging after extended use.
- Herringbone Taped Neck: This internal reinforcement provides added comfort against the skin and prevents the neckline from stretching or distorting.
- Set-In Sleeves: Designed to provide a more tailored, professional silhouette that follows the natural line of the shoulder.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a blend of 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester, this sweatshirt balances natural softness with synthetic resilience. The ringspun cotton undergoes a thinning and twisting process that results in a stronger, smoother yarn compared to open-end alternatives. This heavy-weight fabric is unbrushed, which results in a cleaner internal finish and reduces the likelihood of lint transfer to base layers. Furthermore, the garment carries prestigious certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Better Cotton™ status, ensuring that your corporate uniform meets high standards for both chemical safety and ethical sourcing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The dense, interlock knit of this Tee Jays sweatshirt provides an ideal canvas for customisation. For a professional corporate look, we recommend embroidery; the heavy-weight fabric supports high-stitch-count logos without puckering, making it perfect for company crests or staff names. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, the smooth surface of the interlock knit accepts print exceptionally well. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been refining their craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is a versatile addition to any professional wardrobe. It is particularly well-suited for the golf course, premium corporate events, or as part of a high-end hospitality uniform. Its substantial weight also makes it an excellent choice for festive gifts or a premium winter uniform for management and client-facing staff.

Practical Advice
Given its heavy-weight nature, this sweatshirt performs admirably as a standalone outer layer in transitional weather or as a thermal mid-layer during the winter months. The tailored fit means it sits neatly over a polo shirt or a formal collared shirt without appearing bulky.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and smooth finish of the interlock knit, this garment is designed to be machine washable. Regular washing is essential to remove environmental contaminants and skin oils that can break down cotton fibres over time.
Always follow the specific instructions on the internal care label to prevent unnecessary shrinkage or fading of the deep-dyed fabric. Ensuring the garment is laundered correctly will also help preserve the clarity of your embroidered or printed branding, maintaining your professional image for the long term.
