Workwear designed with your comfort in mind
Our hoodies and sweatshirts prioritise comfort and durability. Made from soft cotton polyester blend fabric, they can withstand the demands of daily wear and regular washing, without growing thin or developing holes.
They include features like ribbed cuffs, necks and wrists for increased flexibility and comfort, with large kangaroo pockets for storage and a loose fit to allow freedom of movement.
Stay warm when working
On cold and dry days, a workwear hoodie is a great alternative to a bulky coat or jacket. Choose an insulated or fleece lined hoodie to turn the heat up, and on days when a hoodie alone isn’t enough, fleeces like our Alexandra Unisex Fleece, are fitted enough and flexible enough to wear under other layers to keep you warm without making you uncomfortable.
Hi vis sweatshirts & hoodies
Working in an environment where visibility is vital but don’t want to struggle with chunky jackets or an added vest? Many of our hi vis sweatshirts and hoodies meet class 3 visibility standards - including orange versions that are suitable for railway wear.
With all the comfort features of our other hoodies, these make a much comfier alternative to the bulk of layering up jackets to meet safety requirements.

Our sweatshirts and hoodies are designed with tough working environments in mind. With reinforced stitching to withstand the stress of repetitive movements and regular washing, they’re also made of hardwearing fabrics.
The choice between a hoodie or sweater is mainly a personal one. It depends on your working conditions and also your preferences. For some people, the extra warmth and slight protection provided by a hood, make a hoodie preferable. They also tend to come with large pockets, which is a bonus when you need to have regular access to items like pens, measuring tapes or other tools. However, hoodies also tend to be slightly bulkier. Sweatshirts are lighter and more suitable for layering as there is no hood to complicate things. They often have a closer fit which makes them sit more comfortably under jackets too.
