Product Overview

Design & Performance
This fleece is crafted from 100% polyester anti-pill fleece, chosen for its ability to maintain a smooth, professional appearance even after repeated wear and washing. The dense, compact pile is the defining characteristic of this garment; it creates a smoother surface that is far more effective at trapping heat than standard fleece. The interior features mesh-lined pockets for added breathability, while the heavyweight nature of the fabric ensures it performs as a reliable outer layer in autumn or a robust insulating layer in the depths of winter.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
Due to the textured and substantial nature of the compact pile, this fleece is available for embroidery only. Embroidery is the superior choice for fleece garments as the stitches sit firmly within the fabric, creating a durable and high-quality finish that printing simply cannot match. Our expert in-house team in Telford, operating since 1976, uses state-of-the-art machinery to ensure your logo is rendered with precision. This method ensures your branding remains vibrant and intact, enduring the frequent laundering and heavy use typical of children's workwear.
Use Cases
This unisex fleece is an excellent choice for primary and secondary school uniforms, junior sports teams, and scout or guide groups. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for staff children at events or for use in outdoor educational centres where warmth and brand visibility are equally important.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this fleece ranges from 3/4 years up to 11/12 years. Because this is a heavyweight garment with a compact pile, it can be worn comfortably over a t-shirt or polo shirt. If you intend for the child to wear multiple thick layers underneath, you may wish to consider the larger end of their size bracket to ensure maximum mobility.
Caring for your product
To preserve the thermal properties and the integrity of the embroidered logo, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove dirt and bacteria without causing the polyester fibres to break down or the embroidery to lose its tension.
This garment is suitable for tumble drying on a low heat setting. Using a high heat setting can cause the synthetic fibres to become brittle over time, which may lead to a loss of softness. For the same reason, we strongly advise against ironing this fleece, as direct heat can damage the compact pile and affect the garment's appearance.
