SS8 - Fruit of the Loom Classic Raglan Sweatshirt
Add a familiar crew-neck layer to staff clothing, event outfits or everyday wardrobes with the Fruit of the Loom SS8 Classic Raglan Sweatshirt. Its raglan sleeves create the distinctive shoulder shape, while the simple front provides room to plan suitable team branding.
Cotton/Lycra ribbing finishes the collar, cuffs and hem, with a taped neck and twin needle stitching completing the construction. The cut-out label is another practical detail for a garment that can be worn on its own over a T-shirt or beneath a suitable outer layer.
Most colours use an 80% cotton and 20% polyester fabric. Heather Green and Dark Heather have a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend, so check the chosen shade when arranging decoration. White and Heather Grey weigh 260gsm, while the other listed colours weigh 280gsm.
This page offers sizes S to XXL in a selection of colours. For a lighter alternative, compare the SS120 Lightweight Raglan Sweatshirt. If a hood is preferred, see the SS14 Classic Hooded Sweatshirt and check its separate specification.

FAQs
What is distinctive about a raglan sweatshirt?
The raglan sleeve joins the body along a seam running towards the neckline, creating a different shoulder shape from a set-in sleeve. Check the fit across the shoulders and arms when choosing your size.
Do all SS8 colours use the same fabric blend?
No. The standard fabric is 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Heather Green and Dark Heather, both offered on this page, use 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Give the selected shade's specification to your decorator.
How does the fabric weight vary?
White and Heather Grey are specified at 260gsm, while other colours are 280gsm. Use these figures when comparing sweatshirt options and check a sample if fabric feel is important to your team clothing choice.
Can I add a printed or embroidered logo?
The sweatshirt is suitable for planning personalised team clothing, but your decorator should confirm the process for the chosen fabric and artwork. Agree placement and check the finished sample before decorating a full order.
What sizes are available to select here?
This page lists S, M, L, XL and XXL. Choose the required colour and size combination and check availability. For a group order, confirm individual fit before adding any personalisation.
How should a personalised sweatshirt be cared for?
Follow the garment's care label together with the instructions supplied for its print or embroidery. These should guide washing, drying and ironing so that both the sweatshirt and the added design receive appropriate care.
