£27.98 GBP
Product Description
The Authentic Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt (J270M) brings the premium Authentic range's contemporary fit and modern design to a practical quarter-zip style — a genuine addition to Russell's high-quality sweatshirt family.
Made from 80% combed ringspun cotton and 20% polyester in a 3-layer brushed fleece construction (280gsm), it has a self-fabric cadet collar, YKK metal quarter-zip, and a covered "kissing" zip for full cross-body decoration. Stocked in 5 colours from XS to 4XL.
What Sets the J270M Apart
A Genuine 100% Cotton Outer Layer
The outer fabric layer is 100% cotton, providing the best possible surface for embroidery or print decoration.
Covered Zip for Full Cross-Body Branding
The "kissing" (covered) zip design allows decoration to run cleanly across the full body of the garment.
A Genuine YKK Metal Zip
An antique silver YKK metal quarter-zip is a real premium detail, built for durability beyond a standard plastic zip.
Slimmer, Contemporary Cut
Slimmer shoulders and leaner arms with front-facing shoulder seams give a more tailored look than a traditional boxy sweatshirt.
Ideal For
- Premium branded team uniforms
- Corporate merchandise
- Retail and hospitality staff
- Outdoor and site work layering
- Full cross-body branded designs
