Product Overview
The Larkwood Organic Cotton Dungaree represents a conscious choice for businesses and individuals seeking high-quality, sustainable infant apparel. Engineered from medium-weight organic cotton, these dungarees are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of active play while maintaining a soft touch against sensitive skin. The inclusion of traditional horn-button shoulder fastenings and integrated poppers around the inseam ensures that these garments are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing, providing ease of access for dressing and changing.
Key Features
- 100% Organic Cotton: Sourced responsibly, this sustainable fabric offers a natural, breathable feel that is gentle on skin while supporting environmental standards.
- Integrated Inseam Poppers: Located along the inner leg, these poppers allow for swift changes without requiring the full removal of the garment, a vital practical feature for busy environments.
- Kangaroo Pocket: A central front pocket provides a classic aesthetic detail while offering a small storage space for lightweight items.
- Horn-Button Shoulder Fastening: These durable buttons provide a secure closure that withstands frequent use and adds a refined finish to the garment.
- Tag-Free Design: The absence of a physical neck label prevents irritation, ensuring maximum comfort for the wearer throughout the day.
Design & Performance
Construction-wise, these dungarees are built for longevity. The medium-weight fabric provides enough substance to handle daily "rough and tumble" without being overly restrictive or heavy for an infant. The single jersey facing adds a layer of refinement to the interior, ensuring a smooth finish against the body. Performance is further enhanced by rolled and stitched leg hems, which prevent fraying and maintain the garment's shape after multiple wash cycles. This is a well-engineered piece of clothing that balances the softness of organic fibres with the durability required for workwear-grade infant apparel.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite their smaller size, these dungarees offer excellent potential for customisation. At MyWorkwear, we recommend embroidery for those seeking a professional appearance; it is particularly effective for nursery logos or names, providing a durable and high-quality finish that remains intact wash after wash. For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-definition printing process is the ideal choice, allowing for bold designs that stand out. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, oversees the entire process to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
These dungarees are an excellent choice for nursery uniforms, providing a cohesive and professional look for early years settings. They are also highly sought after for bespoke gifting services or as part of a sustainable promotional range for businesses focused on organic and ethical products. Given their unisex design, they serve as a versatile staple for any infant clothing collection.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, consider the natural growth patterns of infants; if the wearer is between sizes, opting for the larger size can offer more longevity. These dungarees are designed for layering and pair effectively with organic cotton bodysuits or t-shirts to adapt to changing temperatures throughout the year.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the organic cotton fibres and the vibrancy of any custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes common stains while preventing premature wear of the fabric.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and any custom logos. For the best results, do not tumble dry; instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally to prevent shrinkage and maintain its original shape.
When ironing, please use a medium heat setting (two dots) and iron on the reverse side. This protects the face of the fabric and ensures that any printed or embroidered designs are not damaged by direct heat. Finally, ensure dark colours are washed separately to prevent any potential colour transfer during the cycle.
