Core365 78183 - Women's Motivate Unlined Lightweight Jacket - Carbon

The Core365 78183 is the Women's Motivate Unlined Lightweight Jacket, a 2.3 oz/yd2 100% polyester pongee shell built for corporate, team and promotional programs where a finished outerwear layer needs to travel light and decorate cleanly. Polyester pongee at 240T is a tightly woven, smooth-face fabric that takes embroidery and sublimation without the sheer-fabric challenges common on thinner shells, and the women's contoured cut in XS-3XL gives a professional fit across a full size range. The construction carries more functional detail than most basic jackets at this price point: a center front reverse coil autolock zipper with reflective toggle, chin guard, underarm vents for heat dumping during activity, lower front concealed zippered pockets with reflective toggles, audio port access through the inside lower left pocket, elasticized cuffs and an adjustable shockcord hem. Reflective piping runs at the shoulder yoke and center back yoke, which makes this a practical choice for safety-visible programs, walk events and campus safety crews without sourcing a separate hi-vis garment. TheClothingSpace stocks the 78183 in 12 colours including Classic Navy, Black, White, Classic Red, True Royal, Campus Gold, Campus Purple, Forest Green, Carbon, Burgundy, Electric Blue and Safety Yellow.

The 100% polyester construction sets the full decoration menu, which is broader on an all-poly shell than on a cotton-blend jacket. Embroidery is the preferred method for a corporate or team jacket at this price point: the 240T pongee weave holds a left-chest logo cleanly on a cutaway backing, and the tight weave does not pucker the way a loose-weave shell does. Keep stitch density moderate to avoid pulling the face and position logos clear of the zipper placket. Sublimation is fully compatible across the entire colour card since the shell is 100% polyester, making the 78183 a strong substrate for all-over-print programs, class jackets and spirit wear where artwork runs to the seam edge. DTF presses cleanly on the smooth pongee face and stays consistent across all 12 colours, including Safety Yellow, making it the most practical single method for a mixed-colour order when sublimation is not in the workflow. Vinyl and HTV bond well at a controlled temperature and light pressure; choose a low-tack heat transfer film rated for lightweight polyester shells, since too much heat will pucker or melt the pongee face. Screen printing is technically possible on polyester pongee with a low-bleed ink formulation, but the smooth shell resists ink adhesion more than a fleece or interlock face, so route screen-print jacket orders to DTF or embroidery where possible. DTG does not apply on a 100% polyester shell; ink will not bond without cotton content. Discharge printing does not work on polyester.

A reorder note for decorated programs: 100% polyester pongee holds colour consistently between dye lots, which is useful on multi-run spirit wear or event programs where a second order needs to match the first. The reflective piping and toggles add a visible safety element that can substitute for a dedicated hi-vis layer on lower-intensity programs. The 78183 shares the same Motivate construction and polyester pongee fabric with the Core365 88183 Men's Motivate Unlined Lightweight Jacket, so a matching gender-specific program can run both styles on one decoration setup. TheClothingSpace stocks the Core365 78183 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
