Product Overview
The SOL'S Kids Columbia Sweatshirt is a masterfully constructed garment designed to meet the rigorous demands of school life and extracurricular activities. This sweatshirt strikes a perfect balance between a professional appearance and the practical needs of younger wearers. Featuring a classic crew neck and a modern drop shoulder design, it provides a clean, structured silhouette that serves as an ideal base for custom branding. Crucially, this garment is part of an eco-conscious range, utilising recycled polyester to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing the durability or soft-touch feel that SOL'S is known for.
Key Features
- The brushed back fleece interior provides excellent thermal insulation and a soft surface against the skin, keeping the wearer warm and comfortable throughout the day.
- A drop shoulder design offers a more relaxed fit across the chest and arms, allowing for a full range of movement during active play or sport.
- The 1x1 ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem are engineered for superior shape retention, ensuring the sweatshirt does not become baggy or misshapen after frequent use.
- An integrated taped neck reinforces the seam at a high-tension point, increasing the garment's lifespan and preventing irritation.
- The jersey half moon locker patch at the internal neck adds structural reinforcement and a premium aesthetic detail usually found in high-end leisurewear.
- The unbranded size label allows for seamless integration into school or club uniform ranges without conflicting brand identity.
Design & Performance
The fabric is a sophisticated blend of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester. The high cotton content ensures the garment is breathable and soft, while the recycled polyester adds essential tensile strength and helps the fabric recover its shape after washing. This medium-weight sweatshirt is designed for daily wear, with a fabric surface specifically finished to be smooth and consistent. This technical focus on fabric quality ensures that the sweatshirt remains a staple of a child's wardrobe for several terms, resisting the pilling and thinning often seen in lesser-quality alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, with all customisation carried out by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976. For a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery for school crests and names; the stable fabric blend supports high-density stitching without puckering. For larger, more graphic designs—such as event branding or festive patterns—our printing process delivers vibrant colours and sharp lines that bond effectively with the cotton-rich surface. Whether you require a formal logo or a bold promotional design, we ensure a professional result that represents your organisation with clarity.
Use Cases
This garment is a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, from primary and secondary school uniforms to junior sports club kits. Its ethical credentials, including PETA-Approved Vegan and Global Recycled Standard certifications, make it a preferred option for organisations with strong sustainability policies. It is also an excellent candidate for personalised gifts or commemorative items for school trips and leavers' celebrations.

Practical Advice
It is important to note that this specific style tends to run smaller than other brands. We recommend reviewing your size requirements carefully and considering a size larger if you are between measurements, particularly as children grow quickly. This medium-weight layer fits comfortably over a polo shirt or t-shirt and provides effective warmth when worn under a heavier jacket during winter months.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the fabric and the quality of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the internal label. Regular maintenance according to these guidelines will ensure the sweatshirt retains its soft feel and professional appearance over time.
Adhering to the recommended washing and drying protocols is the best way to prevent the cotton fibres from shrinking and the recycled polyester from losing its elasticity. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to the degradation of any printed or embroidered logos, which may compromise the professional look of the uniform.
