Product Overview
The Tee Jays Urban Hooded Sweatshirt represents a sophisticated approach to sustainable workwear. Engineered as a heavyweight garment, it offers a robust solution for those seeking a reliable layer that combines modern styling with long-term durability. The relaxed fit and drop shoulder design provide a contemporary silhouette that allows for ease of movement, making it as practical on a busy site as it is for corporate leisure. This sweatshirt is not merely an off-the-shelf basic; it is a meticulously finished piece designed to maintain its form and function over time.
Key Features
- Double dyed fabric: This process ensures the colour penetrates deeply into the fibres, resulting in a rich, lasting hue that resists fading even after repeated industrial laundering.
- Silicone treatment: This finishing process gives the sweatshirt an exceptionally smooth hand-feel and a premium appearance, while also providing a superior surface for custom branding.
- Brushed back fleece: The interior is treated to create a soft, insulating layer that provides significant warmth and comfort against the skin.
- Two-panel layer hood: This construction provides a more structured fit than single-layer alternatives, ensuring the hood sits correctly and offers genuine protection.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem with elastane: The inclusion of elastane ensures the garment retains its shape at the openings, preventing the sagging that often occurs with frequent wear.
- Tag-free design: This allows for a completely smooth finish at the neck, reducing irritation and offering a clean canvas for those wishing to apply their own internal branding.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a high-quality blend of 70% organic ringspun cotton and 30% recycled polyester, this sweatshirt is built for performance. The ringspun cotton provides a smooth, tight knit that is less prone to pilling, while the recycled polyester adds essential tensile strength and moisture-wicking capabilities. The heavyweight fabric gives the garment a substantial feel, offering protection and warmth in more demanding environments. The drop shoulder and relaxed fit are intentionally designed to prevent the garment from feeling restrictive, allowing it to move with the wearer throughout the day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Urban Hooded Sweatshirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery. For those seeking a professional, high-end finish for company logos or staff names, embroidery is highly recommended. The density of the heavyweight fabric supports intricate stitching without pulling or distorting the garment. For larger, more graphic designs, such as those used for university societies or event merchandise, our printing processes offer a crisp, vibrant finish that bonds exceptionally well to the silicone-treated surface. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your brand is represented with the highest level of detail.
Use Cases
This garment is versatile enough for a wide range of applications. It is particularly well-suited for university and college apparel, high-end corporate leisurewear, and as part of a professional uniform for tradespeople who require a tidy yet functional appearance. Its sustainable credentials also make it a preferred choice for businesses looking to align their workwear with environmental initiatives.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt is designed with a relaxed fit for modern comfort. If you prefer a more traditional, snug fit, you might consider selecting a size smaller than your usual choice. As a heavyweight item, it functions perfectly as a standalone outer layer in milder weather or as a substantial mid-layer when paired with a waterproof shell in harsher conditions.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of your garment and the integrity of any customisation, following the specific care instructions is essential. Proper care prevents the breakdown of organic fibres and ensures the recycled polyester maintains its structural properties.
This sweatshirt is suitable for a 60°C wash. We recommend this temperature for thorough cleaning and to ensure any workplace contaminants are effectively removed without damaging the double-dyed finish. Neglecting these instructions or using excessive heat may lead to premature wear of the fabric and could affect the longevity of your embroidered or printed branding.
