Custom fleece jackets start with low pill polar fleece in full zip and half zip cuts, and go up to heavyweight shepherd fleece styles with a bonded micro fleece outer and a contrast lining. Soft shell jackets and vests sit in between, with four-way stretch, zip pockets and a phone pocket inside. On the fleece knitwear side, you've got 50/50 wool and acrylic jumpers, vests and cardigans in a dense 12 gauge knit, plus a merino rich half zip pullover and smooth viscose nylon knits for ladies. Fleecy sweatshirts come in cotton rich CVC and poly cotton super fleece, in crew, V-neck and full zip versions. Some of the knits and sweats are Oeko-Tex certified and have a UPF 50+ rating.
A volunteer coordinator at a coastal surf club wants the crew on the beach at dawn to stay warm and look like they belong together. A zip fleece does that without fuss. Volunteers pull it on over a rash vest, shove keys in a front pocket and get on with setting up the flags. By sunrise, nobody's thinking about the cold.
Most styles can be embroidered, and some sweatshirts can be screen printed or finished with a transfer. Team kits that include branded fleece jackets often add pieces from our activewear range.
Things People Ask
What's the difference between polar fleece and shepherd fleece? Polar fleece is a lighter, low pill fabric used in the half zip tops and vests, while shepherd fleece is a heavier lining paired with a bonded micro fleece outer. The shepherd styles are the warmest jackets and vests in this fleece knitwear lineup.
Are the wool blend knits machine washable? Yes, several wool blend jumpers, vests and cardigans can go in the washing machine, and the merino rich half zip pullover washes on a wool setting. Their anti pill finish helps the knit stay smooth after repeated washes.
Which fabric gives sun protection as well as warmth? Some wool blend knits and the poly cotton super fleece sweatshirts have a UPF 50+ rating under AS/NZS 4399:2017. They're also Oeko-Tex 100 Class II certified and dyed with environmentally friendly dye.
Are custom fleece jackets a good choice for outdoor team kits? Yes, the heavyweight shepherd fleece styles are the warmest jackets in the lineup, and the soft shell jackets add four-way stretch for players on the move. Zip pockets and an inside phone pocket keep keys and phones handy at training.
