Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Kids Pullover Hoodie is a well-engineered garment that combines a sporty aesthetic with the durability required for active younger wearers. This hoodie is not merely a leisure item; it is a high-performance piece of apparel featuring distinct contrast side panelling and raglan sleeves with decorative piping. The design is intended to provide a modern, athletic silhouette that ensures teams and clubs stand out during training sessions or school events.
Key Features
- Kangaroo Pouch Pocket: This classic front pocket offers a practical space for warming hands or storing small personal items during activities.
- Contrast Inner Hood: The lined hood provides an additional pop of colour, enhancing the garment's visual appeal and providing a more substantial feel.
- Raglan Sleeves with Piping: The raglan construction allows for a greater range of shoulder movement, while the contrast piping adds a refined finish to the sleeves.
- Contrast Side Panels: These panels create a structured look that complements the athletic design, making it ideal for sports representation.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a heavyweight fabric blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, this hoodie is designed to provide both warmth and longevity. The brushed back fleece interior offers a soft, comfortable feel against the skin, which is essential for children during cooler outdoor sessions. The high cotton content ensures breathability, while the polyester inclusion provides the necessary structural integrity to help the garment maintain its shape after repeated wear and laundering.
The choice of raglan sleeves is a deliberate technical feature, as it removes the traditional shoulder seam, reducing potential irritation and allowing the wearer to move more freely—a critical requirement for junior athletes. The substantial fabric weight ensures that this is a sturdy garment capable of withstanding the rigours of the playground and the training pitch alike.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hoodie is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing for a high degree of customisation. Embroidery is particularly effective for club crests or school logos on the chest, providing a professional appearance that withstands the test of time and frequent washing. The dense weave of the fabric provides a stable base for high-stitch-count designs.
For larger, more vibrant displays—such as team names or large back graphics—printing is an ideal choice. Our in-house production team, based in Telford, has been refining these processes since 1976. We ensure that every application is handled with precision to maintain the professional standards your organisation requires.
Use Cases
Given its athletic styling and durable construction, this hoodie is perfectly suited for junior sports academies, school PE kits, and extracurricular clubs. It is also a popular choice for school leavers' hoodies or tour merchandise, where a distinctive and coordinated appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
This hoodie is available in sizes ranging from 5/6 to 13/14. When selecting sizes for growing children, we recommend referring to our specific size guide to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering over polo shirts or t-shirts. If you are between sizes, opting for the larger size can often provide more longevity as the child grows.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of this hoodie, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. This temperature is effective for removing dirt while protecting the cotton-polyester fibres from premature wear.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration to the contrast panels. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally will prevent shrinkage and help maintain the shape of the raglan sleeves.
When ironing, please use a medium heat setting (two dots). It is vital that you do not iron directly onto any printed or embroidered motifs, as the heat can damage the decoration and the underlying adhesive. Finally, ensure that dark colours are washed separately to prevent any colour transfer onto the contrast sections.
