Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Kids Classic Set-In Sweatshirt is a reliable and versatile garment designed to meet the demands of school life, club activities, and professional youth events. Constructed from a medium-weight fabric, this sweatshirt offers a balanced combination of warmth and breathability. The outer face is made from 100% cotton, which provides an exceptionally smooth surface specifically engineered to achieve superior results for both printing and embroidery. This ensures that your organisation's branding remains sharp and durable even after repeated wear and laundering.
Key Features
- Single Jersey shoulder-to-shoulder taping enhances the garment's structural integrity, ensuring it maintains its shape and professional appearance throughout the day.
- The neck, waist, and cuffs are finished with a cotton and Lycra rib, providing a secure yet flexible fit that retains its elasticity over time.
- The 100% cotton face is a critical technical feature that allows for high-definition print application and intricate embroidery detail.
- A wide size range from 3/4 to 14/15 years ensures a consistent look for groups of all ages and sizes.
Design & Performance
Engineered for everyday comfort, the fabric composition of 80% cotton and 20% polyester delivers the soft touch of natural fibres alongside the hard-wearing properties of synthetic materials. The inclusion of the self-coloured jersey taping at the crew neck adds a refined touch to the design while preventing irritation. This medium-weight sweatshirt is substantial enough to provide warmth in cooler environments without being restrictive, making it an essential layer for active children.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is a prime candidate for customisation, thanks to its high-quality cotton surface. For a permanent and professional finish, embroidery is the ideal choice for school logos or club crests, providing a textured, premium look that withstands heavy use. Alternatively, for larger or more vibrant graphics required for events or promotional campaigns, our high-precision printing process ensures bold results. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where MyWorkwear has been perfecting the craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for use as a core component of a primary or secondary school uniform. It is also an excellent choice for junior sports teams, community youth groups, or as branded merchandise for children's events. Its durability and professional finish make it suitable for any occasion where a unified and smart appearance is required.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, we recommend consulting our sizing guide which provides detailed measurements for ages 3/4 through to 14/15. This sweatshirt is designed with a classic set-in sleeve, allowing it to be comfortably layered over polo shirts or t-shirts. For larger organisations, this style is also available in adult sizes, allowing you to maintain a consistent brand identity across all age groups.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and finish of your customised sweatshirt is essential for preserving your professional image. Proper care ensures that both the fabric and your branding remain in peak condition for as long as possible.
We recommend a standard domestic wash to effectively clean the garment without compromising the cotton-rich fibres. Turning the sweatshirt inside out before washing can help to protect the surface of any print or embroidery from mechanical abrasion within the machine.
Avoid the use of strong bleaching agents, as these can degrade the fabric's strength and cause significant fading to the custom branding. When drying, air drying is preferable to maintain the garment's original dimensions and to prevent the Lycra in the ribs from losing its elasticity.
When ironing, please take care to avoid direct contact with any printed areas, as high heat can damage the application. Ironing on a medium setting will help keep the sweatshirt looking smart and crease-free.
