Product Overview
The Tee Jays Urban Sweatshirt is a masterclass in modern workwear design, blending contemporary style with a robust construction that stands up to the demands of professional life. This heavy-weight garment is crafted for those who require both comfort and a polished appearance. By utilising a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, Tee Jays has created a sweatshirt that feels substantial to the touch while maintaining a soft, premium finish thanks to a specialised silicone treatment.
Key Features
- Double Dyed Fabric: The double dyeing process ensures a deep, consistent colour that resists fading, even after repeated industrial-standard laundering.
- Silicone Treatment: This finish provides an exceptionally smooth surface, which not only feels superior against the skin but also offers an ideal canvas for high-quality customisation.
- Brushed Back Fleece: The interior is brushed to create a soft, insulating layer, providing essential warmth during colder shifts or outdoor activities.
- Drop Shoulder & Relaxed Fit: The design allows for a greater range of movement, ensuring the wearer does not feel restricted during physical tasks.
- Ribbed Elastane Trim: The collar, cuffs, and hem feature elastane, which prevents the garment from losing its shape or sagging over time.
- Taped Neck and Half Moon Yoke: These structural reinforcements ensure the sweatshirt maintains its integrity at high-stress points, extending the life of the garment.
- Tag-Free Design: The absence of a branded neck label allows for easy rebranding and prevents irritation for the wearer.
Design & Performance
Engineered for longevity, this sweatshirt is constructed from a heavy-weight blend of 70% organic ringspun cotton and 30% recycled polyester. The ringspun cotton provides a smooth, durable exterior, while the recycled polyester adds essential strength and moisture-wicking properties. The heavy-weight nature of the fabric makes it a sturdy choice for demanding environments, offering a level of durability that lighter alternatives simply cannot match. It is a garment designed for performance, meeting international standards such as OEKO-TEX 100 and the Organic Content Standard (OCS), ensuring it is as responsible as it is resilient.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Urban Sweatshirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. The smooth, silicone-treated surface is particularly well-suited for detailed screen printing or heat transfers, ensuring that big, bold designs remain crisp and vibrant. For those seeking a more traditional, authoritative look, the heavy-weight fabric provides a stable foundation for high-density embroidery. Whether you require a sophisticated logo on the chest or a large promotional graphic, our in-house team in Telford—who have been perfecting this craft since 1976—will ensure a professional finish that reflects the quality of your brand.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is particularly popular within the education sector, specifically for university and college societies where a relaxed yet premium look is required. Its durability and warmth also make it suitable for outdoor sports events, leisurewear, or as a reliable mid-layer for tradespeople working in unheated environments. The relaxed fit ensures it can be worn comfortably over t-shirts or base layers.

Practical Advice
Due to the relaxed fit and drop shoulder design, this sweatshirt offers a more generous silhouette than standard-fit alternatives. If you prefer a more tailored appearance, you may wish to consider sizing down. The heavy-weight fabric makes it an ideal standalone outer layer for spring and autumn, or a substantial insulating layer beneath a waterproof jacket in winter.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic or industrial wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the effective removal of oils and dirt common in work environments while helping to keep the fabric hygienic.
Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these will break down the organic cotton fibres and cause the double-dyed colours to prematurely fade. When drying, it is advisable to air dry where possible; if using a tumble dryer, ensure a low heat setting is selected to prevent any shrinkage of the recycled polyester components. Ironing should be performed on a medium heat, taking care to avoid direct contact with any printed customisation to prevent damage to the design.
