PST by B&C – Pioneering the future of sweatshirts since 2003
Back in 2003, B&C dared to do something different – we launched Perfect Sweat Technology (PST), a breakthrough sweatshirt fabric that combined the softness and printability of cotton with the durability of polyester. It was a first in our industry, and it made our premium sweatshirts stand out from day one.
“For more than 20 years, PAS has been selling B&C’s PST sweatshirts every day, thanks to their excellent quality and value – and for the great decoration results they deliver.”
The science behind PST
At the heart of B&C’s Perfect Sweat Technology (PST) lies a 3-thread fleece construction, engineered to meet the highest demands of decoration, durability, and comfort. It’s not just a fabric, it’s a deliberate combination of yarns that work together to deliver consistently excellent results.
1. Face Yarn (Surface)
Material: 100% Cotton (investing in Better Cotton or Organic/Organic in Conversion Cotton) / Yarn Count: 30/1, ring spun / Ultra-smooth and tightly knitted. High stitch density ensures minimal fibre lift ideal for print applications: absorbs ink evenly, supporting sharp definition & vibrant colours.
2. Tie Yarn (Middle/Binding Layer)
Material: 100% RCS Certified Recycled Polyester (filament) / Strong, continuous filament yarn binding the face and back yarns together. Stabilises the fabric, reducing distortion and shrinkage and enhances durability.
3. Back Yarn (Interior Layer)
Material: 80% Cotton (investing in Better Cotton OR Organic/ Organic In-Conversion Cotton) / 20% RCS Certified Recycled Polyester / Yarn type: ring spun / Cotton-rich content for softness and comfort, with polyester for strength and moisture management
22 years of innovation
PST was never just about solving a technical challenge. It reflected the way we think at B&C: curious, creative, always looking ahead. More than twenty years on, our spirit of innovation hasn’t faded. We’ve evolved PST by switching to more sustainable fibres, proving that being special means never settling, always improving, and caring about the impact we leave behind.
Tight Gauge Knit = Optimal Print Surface
Reduces ink absorption for brighter, more economical prints. Improves registration accuracy during screen printing
Sustainable Fibres = Reduced Environmental Impact
RCS-certified post-consumer recycled polyester. Better Cotton or Organic/Organic in Conversion
Brushed or French Terry Options = Versatile Wearability
Brushed fleece for warmth and softness. French Terry for a lighter, breathable finish with the same performance.
B&C No Label Solution, for easy rebranding
20 PST styles, and counting!
And just like the fabric, the range has grown too. What started as a small collection of standout sweatshirts has become a line of modern fits, fresh styles and versatile colours – from essential crewnecks to contemporary boxy gender-neutral shapes like the new B&C Influence Sweatshirts. Each one designed to decorate beautifully, feel fantastic and hold up to everyday wear.
Engineered for consistent results
B&C’s PST isn’t just soft and print-friendly, it’s built with precision. From the 3°/1 ring-spun more sustainable cotton face-yarn to the RCS certified recycled polyester tie yarn that binds it together, every element is optimised for long-term performance, comfort and sustainable quality. Wether printed, embroidered or worn blank, B&C PST Sweatshirts deliver results every professional can rely on.
In short…
We didn’t just follow the evolution of sweatshirts, we helped shape it. For us, PST is more than technology, it’s a symbol of our commitment to create sweatshirts that are genuinely better from the inside out – to wear, to print, to personalise.

DuurzaamheidIf organic cotton is only 3%...what about the rest?
Organic Cotton is often seen as the gold standard in sustainable apparel, but here’s the reality: it makes up just 3% of global cotton production*. Converting a conventional farm to organic takes up to three years, often with reduced yields and higher risks for farmers. Even then, not all the in-conversion cotton finds a guaranteed buyer willing to pay a premium.
