Harriton M985 - Unisex Fleece Vest - Black

Description
The Harriton M985 is an 8 oz midweight fleece vest built on 100% spun soft polyester with a non-pill finish. For decorators running corporate, team, or uniform programs, the M985 fills the layering slot that a jacket or hoodie overserves: warmth without bulk, sleeveless mobility, and a clean left-chest panel sized for embroidered logos. The full-zip front, front-zip pockets, back yoke, and drawcord hem with toggles give the garment a finished retail look straight out of the carton, which matters when the end user receives it as a company gift or staff uniform piece.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method for the M985. The 8 oz polyester fleece provides a dense, stable substrate that holds high stitch counts without puckering or tunneling, and the non-pill surface keeps the surrounding area clean around the embroidered crest. Left-chest placement is the standard corporate location; full-back embroidery across the yoke panel works for team or event branding. For DTF, the polyester surface bonds well at standard heat and time, and the non-pill finish gives a smooth consistent transfer seat. Screen printing with plastisol works on the M985, but polyester fleece requires a low-cure or low-bleed ink system to prevent dye migration from the fleece into the print (especially on Safety Orange and Safety Yellow). Water-based and discharge inks will not work on 100% polyester. Sublimation is possible on lighter colorways where the base does not overpower the sublimated image. Vinyl/HTV applies cleanly on the flat chest panel at controlled temperature to avoid scorching the fleece nap.

The M985 fits corporate uniform programs, outdoor event staffing, volunteer crews, and layered team kits where the vest goes over a polo or long-sleeve tee. Because it is 100% polyester, colour consistency between production runs is tighter than cotton-blend fleece, and the non-pill surface holds its appearance through repeated industrial laundering. Safety Orange and Safety Yellow serve high-visibility worksite and event applications.
