Personalised Fleece

What Makes a Good Personalised Fleece for Work?

A personalised fleece jacket is a fleece garment customised with a company logo, team identity, text or design using embroidery or another decoration method suited to the fabric.

For work, the best fleece is one people can comfortably wear for the job they're actually doing. A warehouse team may want a lighter layer that doesn't become too warm indoors. Someone working outside will probably care more about weight and insulation, while customer-facing staff might put fit and appearance higher up the list.

That's why branded fleece jackets turn up in so many uniforms. They're used by trades, logistics teams, facilities staff, hospitality businesses, clubs, schools and event crews, either as an outer layer in milder conditions or underneath a heavier jacket.

A fleece embroidered with your logo is a classic choice, but don't choose on branding alone. Weight, zip style, fit and fabric all deserve a look first.

Should You Choose a Full-Zip or Quarter-Zip Fleece?

Both are well represented in the current range. The choice mostly comes down to how the fleece will be worn during the day.

A full zip is handy when staff regularly move between warmer and colder areas. It can be opened quickly or taken off without pulling it over the head, which sounds like a minor detail until somebody is doing it several times a shift.

Quarter-zips are simpler. They give you some ventilation without the full opening down the front and tend to create a more uniform pullover look.

Neither style is automatically warmer. Fabric weight and construction make the bigger difference there.

Is Embroidery or Printing Better for Fleece?

Embroidery is often a strong choice for fleece because stitched logos sit clearly against textured fabric. That doesn't mean every fleece has to be embroidered, though. Selected products in the current range can also be printed.

For most straightforward workwear logos, embroidery makes sense. It gives a custom fleece jacket a smart finish and works particularly well for smaller chest designs.

Printing needs more product-by-product judgement. The current fleece category includes garments suitable for print, but fleece texture, heat sensitivity and construction can all affect the available options.

For embroidery, artwork also needs to be converted into stitches. The Funky Peach digitises a logo for its first embroidery use and keeps the resulting file for future reorders, so you don't need to start again every time another fleece is needed.

Which Fleece Weight Is Best for Workwear?

Fleece weight is measured in gsm, or grams per square metre. It isn't a perfect measure of warmth on its own, but it gives you a useful starting point when comparing garments.

Our range includes lightweight microfleeces from around 165–220 gsm, midweight options around 250–280 gsm and heavier fleeces around 300–380 gsm. 

Polyester is the dominant material across the category, and there are also products made partly or entirely from recycled polyester.

You'll find anti-pill fleece too, but it isn't a blanket feature across the whole range. Where a garment is specifically described as anti-pill, the finish is intended to reduce the small balls of fibre that can develop on the surface through wear and washing.

If appearance matters over repeated use, that's a specification worth checking rather than assuming.

Which Fleece Features Matter for Everyday Workwear?

A spec sheet can get fairly dull fairly quickly. The useful question is what those specifications mean once somebody has the fleece on.

Fabric weight gives you an idea of how substantial the garment will feel. Anti-pill finishes can help maintain a neater surface on products designed with them, while zipped pockets are useful for staff carrying keys, cards or smaller items during the day.

Zip style affects day-to-day use too. Full-zip fleeces are easy to take on and off, whereas a zip-neck or quarter-zip design works more like a pullover.

There's plenty of choice between brands. Regatta Professional has a broad workwear fleece range, including its popular Thor styles, while Portwest offers practical fleece garments aimed squarely at working environments. Stormtech covers more technical and premium options, including recycled-polyester styles.

You'll also find fleeces from Pro RTX, SOL'S, Tee Jays, Result and Result Recycled, alongside other brands in the category. Result Recycled is particularly useful if recycled materials are part of the buying decision, with current fleece jackets made from 100% recycled polyester.

For uniform buyers, choosing an established garment has another advantage: it's easier to order the same style again when somebody joins the team or an old fleece eventually needs replacing.

How Do You Choose the Right Personalised Fleece for a Team?

Don't start with the logo. Work out what the team needs from the garment first.

• Intended use: Daily uniform, occasional outdoor layer, event clothing or teamwear?
• Environment: Consider how much time will be spent indoors and outside
• Warmth: Match the fleece weight to the temperature and activity level
• Zip style: Decide whether full-zip convenience or a quarter-zip pullover works better
• Fit: Leave enough room for whatever will normally be worn underneath
• Fabric: Check the material and whether recycled content matters to the order
• Anti-pill requirement: Choose a product that specifically states this feature if it's important
• Decoration: Embroidery is common, but selected fleeces can also support print
• Logo position: Check that seams, pockets and zips leave enough usable space
• Colour: Think about the rest of the uniform rather than choosing the fleece in isolation
• Budget and quantity: Compare garment and decoration costs together

Outdoor trades generally need more warmth than a customer-facing team spending most of the day indoors. Warehouse and logistics staff may prefer something easier to layer, while clubs and event teams may care more about colour choice and covering a broad mix of sizes. 

For bigger orders, size coverage matters as well. Check that the garment works across the whole team before settling on it.

Why Are Branded Fleeces Useful for Work and Team Uniforms?

Fleeces fill the gap between lighter uniform and heavier outerwear rather nicely.

They add warmth over polos, T-shirts or sweatshirts without immediately reaching for a coat. For construction, trades, warehousing, logistics and facilities teams, that makes them practical through cooler working conditions and changing seasons.

Hospitality and retail teams can use a smarter embroidered fleece jacket when staff need another layer without losing the company look. Clubs, schools and event teams use them for much the same reason: they're comfortable and slot easily into an existing kit. 

Branding also keeps staff identifiable once an extra layer goes on. There's little point carefully coordinating the uniform underneath if everybody covers it with an unbranded fleece as soon as it gets chilly.

When conditions call for more weather protection, a custom jacket is the better place to look.

What's the Process of Ordering Personalised Fleeces From The Funky Peach?

Pick the style and weight around how the garment will actually be worn.

2. Select Sizes, Colours and Quantities

Order a single garment where applicable or build a mixed-size order for the whole team.

3. Send Us Your Artwork

Upload your logo, text or design. If you're ordering embroidery for the first time, your logo can be digitised into the stitch file needed for production.

4. Confirm the Decoration and Placement

We'll check which decoration methods suit the fleece and where the logo can sit cleanly.

5. Approve Your Artwork

You'll receive a proof before production begins.

6. Production

The standard turnaround for printed and embroidered garments is 10 working days from payment. Express production is available on suitable orders at 7 working days, so get in touch if the deadline is starting to loom.

7. Collection or Delivery

Once everything has been decorated and checked, your order is dispatched or made ready for collection.

Stock, artwork approval, quantity and decoration method can all affect timing. If you're sorting uniforms for a mixed-size team, The Funky Peach can help with product selection, sizing and logo placement before the order is finalised.

FAQs: Personalised Fleeces

H3: What's the difference between a full-zip and quarter-zip fleece?

A full-zip fleece opens completely down the front, which makes it easier to put on, remove or ventilate quickly.

A quarter-zip is pulled over the head and opens only at the neck. It gives some temperature control while keeping the cleaner appearance of a pullover.

Are personalised fleeces suitable for outdoor work uniforms?

Yes, depending on the conditions and the individual fleece.

They can make useful warm layers for outdoor teams, but a standard fleece shouldn't automatically be treated as waterproof outerwear. Check the garment specification and add a suitable jacket where more weather protection is needed.

Are your fleeces anti-pill?

Some are. The current range includes products specifically made with anti-pill fleece or anti-pill finishes, but this isn't a feature of every garment. Anti-pill treatment is intended to reduce surface pilling through wear and washing, helping the fleece retain a neater appearance.

Do you offer recycled or more sustainable fleece options?

Yes. The current range includes fleece garments made from recycled polyester, including products using 100% recycled polyester as well as recycled-polyester blends.

Look at the individual material specification if recycled content is important to your uniform order.

How is a logo added to a fleece jacket?

Embroidery is a common choice for fleece. Your logo is first digitised into a stitch file, then embroidered onto a suitable area of the garment.

Selected fleeces can also support print. The right method depends on the material, fleece texture, artwork and garment construction.

Is embroidery or printing better for fleece?

Embroidery is often the stronger option for traditional textured fleece because the stitching remains clear against the pile.

Printing can work on selected garments and may suit more detailed or larger artwork. The best choice depends on the individual fleece rather than applying one rule to the whole range.

Can I order branded fleece jackets in bulk?

Yes. The Funky Peach handles larger company, club and team orders as well as individual garments.

Larger quantities can make garment and decoration pricing more competitive, although the exact saving depends on the chosen product, decoration and quantity.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Orders start from one garment where the selected fleece supports personalisation.

That also makes individual replacements and new starter orders easier to manage.

How long do personalised fleeces take to produce?

Standard turnaround for printed and embroidered garments is 10 working days from payment.

Express production is available on suitable orders at 7 working days. Stock availability, artwork approval, order quantity and decoration method can all affect the final timing.
