Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Kids' team hoodie (LV342) is a sophisticated and hard-wearing garment specifically engineered for the rigours of school life and competitive team sports.

Whether used for physical education, club representation, or as part of a formal school uniform, its robust design ensures it remains a staple of a child's wardrobe through repeated wear and washing.
Key Features
- Zipped welt pockets in the side seam: Provides secure storage for small items, ensuring belongings are not lost during active movement.
- Crossover hood neck: A modern design feature that offers improved coverage and a more comfortable fit around the neck.
- Three-piece hood: Carefully constructed to provide a more natural, ergonomic shape compared to standard hoods.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem: These help the garment retain its structural integrity and prevent cold air from entering the sleeves and torso.
- Tear-out label: Allows for the easy removal of tags to prevent skin irritation or to facilitate custom rebranding.
Design & Performance
The performance of this hoodie is rooted in its 100% polyester composition, featuring a brushed back fleece interior. This fleece lining is essential for retaining body heat during outdoor activities without adding unnecessary weight. The polyester outer is specifically chosen for its resilience; it is less prone to the pilling and fading often associated with high-cotton blends. The contrast sleeves and side panelling (available on contrast versions) offer a professional athletic aesthetic that helps teams stand out on the field.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is highly versatile for customisation, supporting both print and embroidery. For a professional and long-lasting finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for school crests, club badges, and individual names. It provides a texture and depth that signifies quality. Alternatively, our precision printing is ideal for larger, bold graphics or sponsors' logos where high visibility is required. Every customisation is handled by our experienced in-house team in Telford, drawing on our expertise established in 1976.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an excellent choice for educational institutions looking for durable schoolwear and sports academies requiring a cohesive team identity. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for youth tours, community clubs, and general casual wear for active children who require more than just a standard sweatshirt.

Practical Advice
The sizing range covers ages 3/4 up to 13. Given the performance-focused polyester fabric, the garment has a structured fit. If the wearer is likely to be layering the hoodie over heavy shirts or is between sizes, we recommend selecting the next size up to ensure a full range of movement during sporting activities.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of the fabric and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. This temperature is sufficient for hygiene while protecting the synthetic fibres from heat damage.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Chlorine-based cleaners will degrade the polyester material and significantly dull the vibrancy of both the fabric and your embroidered or printed logos.
We advise against tumble drying. Instead, hang the hoodie to air dry naturally to prevent shrinkage and maintain the shape of the ribbed cuffs and hem. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent melting or distortion. Do not dry clean, as the chemical solvents can damage the fabric's finish.
