Key Features
- Embroidered Character Features: The pre-decorated animal faces provide a friendly and engaging appearance, perfect for nurseries and gift-focused branding.

- Elasticated Back: The integrated elastic allows for a flexible and secure fit, accommodating various head sizes and ensuring the hat stays in place during play.
- Tagless Design: By removing the internal tag, the hat eliminates potential irritation against sensitive skin, enhancing overall wearer comfort.
- Amfori BSCI Accreditation: This ensures the garment is produced under ethical working conditions, providing peace of mind regarding the supply chain.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% cotton twill, this hat is made from a lightweight fabric that offers excellent breathability. Cotton twill is favoured for its durability and soft texture, providing a comfortable feel that is essential for children's wear. The flat top and structured brim offer classic bucket hat styling, while the two distinct colourways and animal motifs provide variety for different branding requirements.
The performance of the garment is anchored in its simplicity. The lightweight nature of the cotton ensures the child does not overheat, while the weave of the twill provides a sturdy barrier. The elasticated back is a particularly sensible design choice, as it allows the garment to 'grow' with the child, extending the lifespan of the hat.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Larkwood Character bucket hat is fully compatible with both print and embroidery, offering versatile options for customisation. Despite the existing character features, there is ample space for additional personalisation. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear, based in Telford since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional and long-lasting finish, ideal for school or nursery logos that need to withstand frequent handling. Print provides a vibrant and bold alternative, particularly effective for promotional events or high-impact designs where a larger surface area is utilised. Both methods are applied with precision to ensure they complement the existing character embroidery.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for nurseries, preschools, and early years settings where a cohesive and recognisable uniform is required. It is also an excellent choice for promotional merchandise for children's brands, wildlife parks, or as part of a high-quality gifting range. Given its durable cotton construction, it is equally at home on a school field trip or during weekend family outings.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, please note the available range spans from 6 months up to 5 years. The elasticated back provides some flexibility, but we recommend choosing the size that most closely aligns with the child's age for the best fit. For those looking to coordinate, these hats pair exceptionally well with other cotton-based children's garments for a complete and uniform appearance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the vibrancy of the character embroidery, this hat should be hand washed only. Avoiding a machine cycle prevents the brim from losing its shape and protects the delicate embroidered details from being snagged or frayed by mechanical agitation.
We recommend a sponge clean for minor marks. This targeted approach prevents the cotton twill from becoming oversaturated, which can lead to shrinking or distortion if not handled correctly. By following these simple maintenance steps, you ensure the garment remains in professional condition for as long as possible.
