People wearing fleece hoodies

Look around and you will see more and more people wearing fleece hoodies, even in the winter months. This style of clothing, which is pretty much a sweatshirt with a hood that can either zip up or slip over the head, is casual and easy to wash. Fleece hoodies are very favored by younger people but are also worn by those who work outside or go to outside sporting events in an effort to keep warm by layering their clothes. You can find this type of hoodies just about anywhere, including online.

But this is not the case for all – leading Blue Chip organisations and safety orientated Independent companies have seen the need to ensure their workers are correctly supplied with the right garments. After all, staff are the most important asset to any company and it’s important that they are protected in the best possibly way.


Although hoodies have been worn for years, they really gained in popularity during the skaters phase of the 1990s. Skaters included skateboard enthusiasts who often wore hoodies as a way to protect themselves while still being able to perform their sport. Since then, fleece hoodies have become very well liked by all athletes who want to wear something in the cooler weather while playing outdoors as they are comfortable and do not hinder movement. They are also easy to wash, which makes them ideal for anyone playing outside in them.

Traditional workwear fabrics are polyester/cotton blends or cotton blends. Whilst 100% cotton workwear does not melt like polyester or other similar man-made fibres often do, it can certainly burn particularly when impregnated with dirt, grease or other grime.
Not only are fleece hoodies popular with teenagers, they are the ideal garment for children. Children playing outside often get dirty and washing their jackets can be difficult in the washing machine. Fleece hoodies, on the other hand, can go right in the washer and dryer, just like a sweatshirt. This is one of the reasons this type hoodies are so very popular with moms of younger children. And the fact that there is an attached hood that often fastens at the neck makes it difficult for the child to loose their hat. Some also have pockets to keep the hands warm. They are the ideal fall cover up for anyone who is going casual.

Many companies in the Utility sector have long since recognized the need to provide their staff with Flame Resistant Clothing, which has often been in the form of chemically treated fabrics – often 100% cotton fabrics treated with a chemical to ensure that they do not burn when a flame source is applied to them.


You can get name brand fleece hoodies as well as plain ones at a variety of different stores, including internet stores. Schools often sell with the school logo or colors as a way to fund raise for the school and encourage school spirit. This type of hoodies have replaced the school sweater that was so popular 40 years ago.

But the question for many companies now has been – is that really enough? How do we know whether the chemical treatment is still in this garment after it has been washed? How can we be sure that the protection offered is still the same as when the garment was new?

Some businesses use this hoodies as a way to advertise their business. They have custom fleece hoodies printed up with their business name and logo on them and then give them out at charity events for prizes. This way they get advertising for their business whenever the person who is wearing the hoodies goes out. As these garments have a long wear and can be washed over and over again, they are likely to be passed on when the owner has grown tired of them, giving the business even more advertising exposure.

In addition to a standard Flame Resistant garment, the majority of contractors in the Utility sector have now recognised the need for their garments to also be certified for protection against the hazards of an Electric Arc Flash incident. Reputable garment manufacturers have now upgraded many of their garments to also be certified to this higher level of protection.
