Product Overview
The Larkwood Toddler Hooded Sweatshirt is a meticulously designed garment specifically engineered for the youngest members of your team or organisation. Providing a blend of comfort and durability, this hoodie serves as an ideal canvas for branding, whether for nursery groups, sports clubs, or promotional events. Its classic design, featuring a kangaroo pocket and a well-constructed hood, ensures that style and functionality are balanced perfectly for active toddlers.
Key Features
- Integrated Kangaroo Pocket: This feature provides a practical space for small items while offering a traditional aesthetic that mirrors adult workwear styles.
- Placket Detail at Front Neck: The clever placket design allows for easier dressing and undressing, reducing stress on the garment's neckline over time.
- Contrast Taping inside Neck Seam: Internal taping provides structural reinforcement to the neck area, preventing the sweatshirt from losing its shape after repeated wear.
- Knitted Rib at Cuff and Hem: These ribbed finishes ensure a secure fit, helping to retain warmth and keep sleeves in place during physical activity.
- Twin Needle Stitching: This construction technique offers superior seam strength, ensuring the garment remains intact even under the rigours of toddler play.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend, this sweatshirt features a brush-back fleece interior. The high cotton content provides a soft, natural feel against sensitive skin, while the polyester component adds necessary resilience and colour retention. This medium-weight fabric is thick enough to provide significant warmth without being overly restrictive for a small child.
The use of single jersey lining within the hood ensures a smooth finish and prevents unnecessary bulk. With accreditations including Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Amfori BSCI, you can be confident that the materials used meet high safety and ethical standards, which is paramount for infant clothing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor the finish to your specific requirements. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional, long-lasting appearance; it is ideal for nursery logos or individual names, providing a texture and depth that withstands frequent laundering.
For larger, more vibrant designs—perhaps for a one-off event or a bold promotional message—printing is a superb alternative. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages the entire process in-house to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for nursery and preschool uniforms, junior sports clubs, and family-oriented corporate events. Its durable construction makes it a reliable choice for any environment where children need to stay warm while maintaining a cohesive, branded appearance.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for toddlers, we recommend considering the child's height as well as age to ensure the best fit. Given the medium-weight nature of the fleece, this hoodie works excellently as an outer layer in milder weather or as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket during the winter months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the brush-back fleece and the vibrancy of your customisation, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt while protecting the fabric fibres from excessive heat damage.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the cotton fibres and cause premature fading of the fabric and your logo. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; air drying is essential to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original shape of the knitted ribs.
When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and never apply the iron directly to any printed or embroidered motifs. Direct heat can melt print films or distort embroidery threads, potentially ruining the professional finish of your garment. We also advise washing dark colours separately to prevent any colour transfer onto lighter fabrics.
