£21.98 GBP
Product Description
The Authentic Hooded Sweatshirt (J265M) revives the original spirit of the sweatshirt in a contemporary fit — a premium 3-layer fabric gives it a fuller, more substantial handfeel than a standard hoodie.
Made from 80% combed ringspun cotton and 20% polyester at 280gsm, it features coverseamed armholes, cuffs and hem, a coverseamed hood, herringbone neck tape, and flat chunky drawcords with buttonhole eyelets. Stocked in 17 colours from XS to 5XL.
What Sets the J265M Apart
A Genuinely Premium, Substantial Handfeel
The 3-layer fabric construction gives noticeably more weight and structure than a standard single-layer hoodie, without sacrificing comfort.
Coverseamed Throughout
Coverseaming around the armholes, cuffs, hem and hood gives a clean, durable finish that holds its shape wash after wash.
Thoughtful Practical Details
MP3 earphone access and buttonhole eyelets on the drawcords add genuine everyday functionality beyond a standard hoodie.
WRAP Certified Production
Manufactured under WRAP certified production standards, reflecting ethical and responsible manufacturing practices.
Ideal For
- Premium branded team uniforms
