Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Kids Long Sleeve Valueweight T-Shirt is a dependable choice for junior workwear and promotional use. Constructed from a medium-weight cotton fabric, this garment offers a balance of comfort and durability that is essential for active children. The long-sleeve design provides extra coverage for cooler environments, while the fine knit gauge ensures a smooth surface that is particularly well-suited for high-definition branding.
Key Features
- The cotton/Lycra rib crew neck provides excellent shape retention, ensuring the collar does not sag or stretch out of shape after multiple wears.
- A self-fabric back neck tape covers the seam to prevent irritation, offering a smoother feel against the skin throughout a busy day of activity.
- The fine knit gauge of the fabric creates a superior surface for decoration, allowing for sharper details and more vibrant colours in your custom designs.
- Set-in sleeves with ribbed cuffs offer a secure fit at the wrists, preventing sleeves from dragging and improving the overall silhouette of the garment.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is primarily crafted from 100% cotton, a natural fibre known for its breathability and softness. For the Heather Grey variant, a small amount of polyester is blended with the cotton to provide a consistent texture and improved durability. The fabric choice ensures that the garment remains comfortable during physical activity while maintaining its structural integrity. The inclusion of Lycra in the neck and cuffs is a technical addition that allows the garment to flex and return to its original shape, which is vital for children's clothing that undergoes frequent stretching.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This long-sleeved t-shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. The fine knit gauge makes it a standout choice for screen printing or digital transfers, as the flat surface allows the ink to bond more effectively for a professional appearance. For school crests or club logos, embroidery offers a classic, elevated finish that withstands the rigours of frequent laundering.
All customisation is handled at our specialised facility in Telford. Our team, which has been refining its expertise since 1976, ensures that every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the high standards your organisation requires.

It also serves as a high-quality option for retail merchandise, tourism souvenirs, or large-scale event branding where a uniform look for younger participants is needed.

Practical Advice
This garment is available in a broad size range from age 3/4 up to 14/15. For children who are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to allow for growth and more comfortable layering over a base layer during winter months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of the garment, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt without putting undue stress on the cotton fibres or the custom branding.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the natural cotton fibres and cause significant fading to both the fabric and any printed designs.
When drying, use a low tumble dry setting to prevent excessive shrinkage and protect the elasticity of the Lycra components in the collar and cuffs.
For ironing, use a two-dot setting (medium heat). This provides enough heat to remove creases while remaining safe for the fabric. Do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical solvents used in the process can damage the adhesives in printed logos and compromise the fabric's soft finish.
