Product Overview
The AWDis Just Hoods Kids Varsity Jacket is a substantial, heavy-weight garment that brings a classic collegiate aesthetic to youth workwear and team uniforms. Designed with a sporty American influence, this jacket is more than just a style statement; it is a robustly constructed piece of outerwear intended for daily use. It provides a professional, uniform appearance for clubs, schools, or junior staff, while the brushed inner fleece ensures the wearer remains warm and comfortable during outdoor activities or in cooler environments.
Key Features
- Contrast sleeves and studs: These design elements provide a distinct, professional look that stands out, making it easier to identify team members.
- Knitted collar, cuffs, and waistband: The striped details offer a secure fit and help the jacket retain its shape, even after frequent wear.
- Press-stud closure: A reliable and simple fastening system that allows for quick changes while maintaining a traditional aesthetic.
- Welt contrast pockets: These provide practical storage for small essentials while complementing the overall design.
- Soft cotton-faced fabric: This creates a smooth, high-quality surface that is essential for achieving a sharp finish when applying custom branding.
- Taped back neck and hanging loop: These small but vital technical details improve the garment's durability and offer convenient storage options.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a durable blend of 70% ringspun cotton and 30% polyester, this jacket is built to survive the high-energy lifestyle of younger wearers. The ringspun cotton provides a soft hand-feel, while the polyester content adds necessary strength and ensures the garment holds its structure. As a heavy-weight jacket, it offers significant insulation, further enhanced by the brushed inner fleece which traps heat effectively. The inclusion of a simple tear-out label is a thoughtful touch for those looking to rebrand the item as part of a bespoke clothing line.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket has been specifically designed with customisation in mind. The smooth cotton-faced fabric provides an excellent foundation for printing, ensuring that large, bold designs—such as school names or leavers' years—apply cleanly without texture interference. For those seeking a more traditional and prestigious finish, embroidery is the ideal choice. It is particularly effective for school crests or individual names on the chest, offering a tactile, long-lasting branding solution.
At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We handle all customisation in-house, ensuring that whether you choose print or embroidery, the final product meets our exacting standards for quality and durability.
Use Cases
The versatility of this varsity jacket makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is a perennial favourite for school leavers' garments, youth sports teams, and performing arts groups. Its professional appearance also makes it an excellent choice for junior staff in family-run businesses or as part of a promotional uniform for events and exhibitions.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for a group, note that this jacket is available in a range from 3/4 years up to 12/13 years. It is designed with a classic fit to allow for layering over a polo shirt or sweatshirt. If you are ordering for a child who is at the upper end of an age bracket, we suggest moving up a size to ensure they have sufficient room for movement and growth.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your jacket, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature protects the cotton fibres and helps preserve the vibrancy of any custom print or embroidery.
Bleach should be avoided at all costs, as it will weaken the fabric and cause permanent discolouration. For drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to minimise the risk of shrinkage. If the jacket requires ironing, use a low setting and ensure you do not iron directly onto any printed areas, as the heat can damage the design. Finally, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemicals involved can be detrimental to both the fabric and the customised branding.
