Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Kids Premium Set-in Sweatshirt (SS801) is a masterclass in combining comfort with professional-grade durability for younger wearers. This garment is engineered specifically for longevity, making it an essential choice for school uniforms, youth clubs, and team apparel. A standout technical feature is its 100% cotton face, which provides an exceptionally smooth and consistent surface, essential for achieving high-definition branding results.
Key Features
- Single Jersey Back Neck Tape: This addition covers the inner neck seam, providing a smooth finish that prevents irritation against the skin during active movement.
- Cotton/Elastane Ribbed Trims: The neck, waist, and cuffs are reinforced with elastane to ensure the garment retains its shape and elasticity, even after repeated stretching and frequent wear.
- Inner Brushed Fleece: The interior fabric is mechanically brushed to create a soft, insulating layer that traps heat while remaining comfortable for all-day use.
- Premium Fabric Composition: The blend of 70% cotton and 30% polyester offers the perfect balance of natural breathability and synthetic strength.
Design & Performance
Constructed as a medium-weight garment, this sweatshirt is designed to withstand the high-energy demands of children's activities. The set-in sleeve design provides a structured, traditional silhouette that looks professional in any setting. The fabric’s high cotton content ensures it feels soft to the touch, while the polyester component provides the structural integrity needed to resist pilling and maintain colour vibrancy through countless domestic wash cycles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SS801 is a premier choice for customisation. Because the outer face is 100% cotton, it allows for superior ink adhesion in printing, resulting in bold, sharp graphics that resist cracking. For those requiring a more traditional look, the substantial nature of the fabric supports intricate embroidery without puckering, making it ideal for school crests or company logos.
Our Telford-based team has been specialising in these techniques since 1976. We handle all customisation in-house to ensure that your branding is applied with the precision and care that our decades of experience allow.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is a versatile staple for any junior wardrobe. It is perfectly suited for primary and secondary school uniforms, where durability is paramount. It is also an excellent choice for junior sports teams, community groups, and as high-quality event merchandise that parents and children alike will appreciate for its comfort and longevity.

Practical Advice
The size range is comprehensive, catering to children from 3/4 years up to 14/15 years. We recommend reviewing the chest measurements to ensure the best fit, particularly if the sweatshirt is to be worn over multiple layers like shirts or polos. The elastane-ribbed cuffs allow for a bit of growth, but choosing a slightly larger size can often extend the life of the garment as the child grows.
Caring for your product
To ensure this sweatshirt maintains its shape and the integrity of its branding, we recommend a standard machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective at removing everyday stains without placing undue stress on the cotton fibres.
Please do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric blend and cause significant fading of the dye. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry is suitable, though air drying is recommended to preserve the softness of the inner fleece and the crispness of any printed designs.
When ironing, use a cool setting and always avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the customisation. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved are not suited for this specific fabric composition.
