Product Overview
The Larkwood LW502 Essential Baseball Bodysuit brings a classic, retro aesthetic to infant wear. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, this short-sleeved garment features distinctive contrast sleeves and binding at the neck and leg openings. Crafted from a soft single jersey fabric, it provides a comfortable base layer or standalone piece for the youngest members of your team or family. The inclusion of a simple size tab rather than a full brand label makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to create their own branded infant range.
Key Features
- Size tab only: The removal of traditional neck labels allows for easy relabelling and a smooth surface against the skin, minimising irritation for the wearer.
- Ribbed neck with flat-lock stitching: This construction method ensures the neckline retains its shape through repeated wear and washing while providing a flat, comfortable seam.
- YKK popper fastening: Utilising industry-standard YKK hardware at the bottom ensures secure closure and reliable performance during frequent changes.
- Contrast baseball styling: The classic two-tone design provides a professional yet playful look that stands out compared to standard plain bodysuits.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% cotton single jersey, this bodysuit is designed for breathability and softness. The lightweight fabric is specifically chosen for its gentle touch on sensitive skin, making it suitable for all-day wear. Despite its soft feel, the cotton jersey is resilient enough to withstand the rigours of infant life. The contrast binding on the leg openings is not merely decorative; it reinforces the areas most prone to stretching, ensuring the garment maintains its fit and professional appearance over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for a high degree of customisation. For those seeking a traditional, premium finish, embroidery is ideal for small logos or names on the chest area. If you require a larger, more graphic design—perhaps a bold slogan or a company mascot—our printing techniques provide a vibrant and flexible finish that complements the retro baseball aesthetic.
Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility. With nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976, we ensure that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the garment's integrity while delivering a professional result.
Use Cases
This bodysuit is an excellent choice for nurseries, playgroups, or junior sports clubs looking to establish a unified brand identity. It also serves as a high-quality base for personalised gift ranges or promotional merchandise for family-oriented businesses. The unisex design and varied colour combinations make it a versatile addition to any infant clothing line.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, we recommend referring to the height-based measurements provided in our size guide, as infant growth can vary significantly within age brackets. For layering, this lightweight cotton piece works exceptionally well under dungarees or sweatshirts without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of both the fabric and your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C on a cotton cycle. Lower temperature washing helps to maintain the shape of the cotton jersey and prevents the colours of the contrast sleeves from fading prematurely.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and damage the integrity of any applied logos. We also advise against tumble drying; the high heat can cause natural cotton to shrink and may distort printed designs.
When ironing, use a medium heat setting (two dots) and never iron directly over the motif if the garment has been decorated. Direct heat can melt print or damage embroidery threads. Finally, ensure that dark colours are washed separately to prevent any dye transfer onto the lighter contrast sections of the bodysuit.
