Product Overview
The Larkwood LW21T Long-sleeved t-shirt is a meticulously designed garment tailored specifically for the youngest members of your team or promotional audience. Combining comfort with practical functionality, this infant's crew neck t-shirt serves as an ideal canvas for branding, ensuring even the smallest sizes represent your business with a professional finish. Built from soft, breathable cotton, it balances the need for a gentle touch against sensitive skin with the durability required for everyday wear and frequent laundering.
Key Features
- Shoulder Popper Detail: The inclusion of popper fasteners on the shoulder allows for effortless dressing, reducing the struggle often associated with changing infants and ensuring the neckline retains its shape.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching on the hem and cuffs provides enhanced structural integrity, ensuring the garment withstands the rigours of active play without unravelling.
- Ribbed Neckline: The rib detail at the neck provides a comfortable, snug fit that recovers well after stretching, maintaining a neat appearance over time.
- 100% Cotton Single Jersey: This midweight fabric offers a smooth, consistent surface that is particularly well-suited to high-quality decoration finishes.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a high-quality 100% cotton single jersey, this t-shirt is designed to provide a soft, comfortable environment for toddlers and infants. The fabric choice is deliberate; it is substantial enough to feel durable yet lightweight enough to remain breathable, preventing overheating during activity. The twin-needle stitching is not merely a decorative choice but a functional one, providing the necessary strength at the garment's most stressed points. Furthermore, the garment carries Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Amfori BSCI, and SEDEX accreditations, giving you the assurance that it meets rigorous ethical and safety standards for children's apparel.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its small size, the LW21T is exceptionally versatile when it comes to branding. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, can apply either embroidery or print to this garment with precision. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a formal, textured finish—ideal for nursery logos or club crests that require a long-lasting, sophisticated look. For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-definition printing services provide a bold and clear result that remains flexible on the jersey fabric.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for nursery and childcare uniforms, ensuring a unified and professional look for all age groups. It also serves as an excellent choice for promotional merchandise, corporate gifting for employees with new families, or as part of a junior sports club's leisurewear range. The long sleeves provide extra warmth for outdoor activities or cooler indoor environments, making it a year-round staple.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for growing children, it is often prudent to consider the next size up if the child is at the upper end of the current age range. The shoulder poppers are particularly useful for children who find standard crew necks restrictive. As a midweight cotton item, this t-shirt layers effectively under sweatshirts or jackets without adding excessive bulk, making it a versatile component of a child's wardrobe.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of the garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a cotton cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes everyday stains while preserving the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of any custom branding.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and any printed or embroidered logos. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the t-shirt to air dry naturally will prevent shrinkage and help the garment retain its original shape over time.
When ironing, use a medium heat setting (two dots). Crucially, do not iron directly over any printed or embroidered motifs, as the heat can damage the decoration; instead, iron on the reverse to ensure a crisp finish. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical processes involved can be too harsh for the single jersey fabric and the popper attachments.
