Product Overview
The Tee Jays Zepelin Padded Jacket (T9630) is a meticulously engineered piece of outerwear designed for those who require both style and substance. This midweight jacket bridges the gap between casual lifestyle wear and professional corporate attire. Constructed with a 300T polyester outer and high-quality polyester padding, it provides essential warmth without the unnecessary bulk associated with heavier winter coats. The shaped fashion fit ensures a modern silhouette, making it an excellent choice for client-facing roles where presentation is paramount.
Key Features
- Showerproof Finish: The outer fabric is treated to repel water, ensuring the wearer remains dry and professional during light rain or drizzle.
- Integrated Chin Guard: The full-length low-profile zip is equipped with a chin guard and inner zip guard, preventing skin irritation and providing an extra barrier against the wind.
- Secure Storage: Features two front zip pockets for safe tool or phone storage, along with an internal zip media pocket for sensitive electronics.
- Adjustable Comfort: Elasticated cuffs and a drawcord hem allow the wearer to seal in heat and customise the fit to their specific body shape.
- Branded Zip Pulls: High-quality branded hardware and a hanging loop add to the premium feel and longevity of the garment.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Zepelin jacket. The 300T polyester outer is chosen for its smooth finish and resistance to the elements, while the polyester lining and padding work in tandem to trap air and maintain body temperature. Unlike standard padded jackets, this garment features a 'low profile' design, meaning it remains sleek rather than puffy, which is essential for a sharp corporate look. The durability of the polyester construction ensures it can withstand the rigours of daily use without losing its structural integrity.
Furthermore, the jacket is certified under the OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring it has been tested for harmful substances. It also meets BSCI standards, reflecting a commitment to social compliance and ethical manufacturing within the supply chain.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Zepelin is specifically designed with customisation in mind. It includes a dedicated zip access point for decoration, which allows our technicians to apply branding without stitching through the inner lining. This results in a cleaner finish on the interior of the jacket.
For a sophisticated, long-lasting professional look, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos on the chest or neck. Alternatively, for larger, high-impact branding, print options are available. Both methods are handled with precision by our expert team to ensure your brand is represented with clarity and durability.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for corporate environments, site visits, or as part of a high-end retail uniform. Its showerproof nature makes it a reliable choice for staff who move between indoor and outdoor settings. It is equally at home in a professional office environment as it is during a commute or outdoor corporate event.

Practical Advice
As this jacket features a shaped fashion fit, it is designed to sit closer to the body. If your staff intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers underneath, you may wish to consider sizing up to ensure full range of movement. For a standard shirt or polo shirt pairing, the regular size should provide a sleek, tailored appearance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your Tee Jays jacket, proper care is essential. Maintaining the integrity of the 300T polyester outer will ensure the showerproof properties remain effective for as long as possible.
Avoid the use of biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can strip the showerproof coating from the fabric and damage the synthetic fibres. If the jacket becomes soiled, a gentle wash is recommended to preserve the loft of the polyester padding.
Do not use bleach, as this will cause irreversible damage to the fabric structure and cause the colours to fade. When drying, avoid high-heat environments. Tumble drying on a high setting can cause the internal padding to clump or the outer shell to melt. Similarly, ironing should be avoided; the heat from a standard iron can easily damage the polyester outer. Simply hang the garment to air dry to maintain its shape and finish.
