Product Overview
The Tee Jays Urban Heavy Loose Fit Hooded Sweatshirt is a masterclass in modern, sustainable workwear. This isn't your standard uniform staple; it is a well-engineered garment crafted from 100% organic ringspun cotton, offering a substantial and heavyweight feel that commands respect. The contemporary loose fit and drop shoulder design provide a relaxed yet professional silhouette, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to project a modern, forward-thinking image while prioritising wearer comfort.
Key Features
- Enzyme Wash and Silicone Treatment: This dual-process finish results in an exceptionally soft hand-feel and a smooth surface that resists pilling, ensuring the garment looks newer for longer.
- Double Dyed Fabric: The double-dyeing process ensures deep, rich colour saturation that maintains its vibrancy through repeated laundering cycles.
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior is meticulously brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that provides essential warmth in cooler environments.
- Two-Panel Layer Hood: This construction provides a more structured and substantial hood, offering better protection and a cleaner aesthetic than single-layer alternatives.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Hem with Elastane: The inclusion of elastane ensures these high-wear areas retain their shape and tension, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior products.
- Tag-Free Design: By removing the internal neck label, Tee Jays has eliminated a common source of irritation, focusing entirely on the wearer's daily comfort.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% organic ringspun cotton, this hooded sweatshirt offers superior strength and a smoother finish compared to standard carded cotton. The ringspun process involves twisting and thinning the cotton strands, resulting in a fabric that is both more durable and more receptive to customisation. The addition of a half-moon back yoke provides extra reinforcement at the shoulders, a critical stress point for active workers. This is a substantial, heavyweight garment designed to withstand the rigours of a busy working day while maintaining its premium appearance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, silicone-treated surface of this sweatshirt makes it an outstanding candidate for both print and embroidery. For a professional appearance that stands the test of time, we recommend embroidery for corporate logos and staff names; the heavyweight fabric supports high-stitch-count designs without puckering. For larger, bold graphics or promotional branding, our high-quality printing techniques deliver sharp, vibrant results. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on our heritage of excellence established in 1976.
Use Cases
Given its premium construction and modern fit, this sweatshirt is perfectly suited for university societies, creative agencies, and modern trade businesses. It functions exceptionally well as high-end promotional merchandise or as a sophisticated layer for staff working in showrooms, workshops, or outdoor events where a professional yet relaxed aesthetic is required.

Practical Advice
This garment is designed with a loose fit in mind. If you prefer a more traditional, tailored appearance, you may wish to consider selecting one size smaller than your usual measurement. For the intended urban look and to allow for comfortable layering over base layers, we recommend staying with your standard size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical finish of this heavyweight organic cotton garment, proper maintenance is essential. Always refer to the care label for specific temperatures, as following these guidelines ensures the fibres remain strong and the custom branding remains intact.
We advise avoiding the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents. These substances can break down the organic cotton fibres and cause the double-dyed colours to fade prematurely, undermining the professional appearance of your uniform.
When laundering, turning the sweatshirt inside out is a simple yet effective way to protect the silicone-treated surface and any custom embroidery from abrasive contact with the machine drum.
Air drying is highly recommended over tumble drying. High heat can lead to natural fibre shrinkage and may damage the elastane in the cuffs and hem, which is vital for the garment to retain its shape over time.
