Product Overview
The B&C Hooded /kids is a masterclass in balancing safety, durability, and a professional canvas for branding. This medium-weight sweatshirt is engineered specifically for younger users, providing a low-maintenance layer that offers warmth and comfort during spring and autumn adventures. Designed with B&C’s proprietary Perfect Sweat Technology, the garment offers a high-quality finish that prioritises both the longevity of the garment and the clarity of any applied logos or designs.
Safety is a primary consideration in this design. Compliant with EU regulations for children’s clothing safety, the hood is lined for extra warmth but contains no drawstrings, eliminating potential hazards. Whether used for school commutes, sports teams, or club activities, it provides a reliable and smart appearance that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
Key Features
- B&C Perfect Sweat Technology: This unique fabric construction ensures a smooth, consistent surface, which is essential for achieving high-definition print results and reducing pilling.
- Reinforced Kangaroo Pocket: The front pocket features reinforced seams to prevent tearing, providing a sturdy place for storage or keeping hands warm.
- Elastane-Reinforced Ribbing: The 1x1 rib on the cuffs and bottom hem includes elastane, ensuring the garment retains its shape and fit even after repeated stretching and washing.
- Flatlock Topstitching: Strategically placed on the shoulders and armholes, this stitching adds structural integrity and a refined, flat finish that reduces irritation.
- Lined Hood: Provides extra insulation and a more substantial feel, ensuring the hoodie looks as professional as it feels.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 80% ring-spun combed cotton and 20% recycled polyester offers a superior handfeel and a sophisticated matt appearance. Ring-spinning the cotton ensures the fibres are twisted and thinned, resulting in a softer yet stronger yarn than standard alternatives. Combing the cotton further removes impurities, leaving only the longest, most durable fibres.
Performance-wise, this sweatshirt is built for movement. The inclusion of recycled polyester not only supports environmental considerations but also adds a layer of resilience and moisture management, helping the garment dry faster and resist creasing. The side-seamed construction ensures a consistent fit that doesn't twist after laundering, maintaining the professional silhouette required for school or team uniforms.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is an exceptional candidate for both print and embroidery, handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. The Perfect Sweat Technology creates a tight, smooth knit that is particularly beneficial for screen printing and heat transfer, allowing for vibrant, sharp designs that won't flake or fade prematurely.
For a more formal or long-lasting finish, embroidery is highly recommended for school crests or individual names. The medium-weight fabric provides a stable base for dense stitching, ensuring the design remains crisp. Our team, drawing on decades of experience since 1976, will ensure your branding is executed with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for educational environments, serving as a durable part of a school PE kit or a branded leavers' hoodie. It is equally effective for junior sports clubs, scouting groups, or as part of a staff uniform for childcare professionals. Its blend of comfort and durability makes it a staple for both indoor classroom settings and outdoor play.

Practical Advice
The B&C Hooded /kids is available in a broad size range from 3/4 years to 12/14 years. For the best fit, we recommend measuring the chest of the child and comparing it to our sizing guide. This hoodie layers well over a polo shirt or t-shirt for colder mornings, and its medium-weight construction means it can be comfortably worn under a waterproof jacket without adding excessive bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of your customisation, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and sweat while preventing the breakdown of the cotton fibres and ensuring your logos remain intact.
Bleaching agents should be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and any embroidered or printed branding. When drying, a standard tumble dryer setting is acceptable, though air drying is always preferable to extend the lifespan of the elastane in the cuffs.
If ironing is required, use a medium heat setting (Iron 2). Avoid ironing directly over any printed areas, as the heat can damage the transfer. Finally, this garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the adhesive used in prints and the natural softness of the combed cotton.
