Product Overview
The SOL'S Kids Imperial Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a robust and reliable choice for children's uniforms or promotional wear. Constructed from 100% ringspun semi-combed cotton, this t-shirt provides a soft hand-feel while maintaining the structural integrity required for active daily use. As a heavier-weight garment, it offers increased warmth and durability compared to standard lightweight alternatives, making it suitable for year-round wear. The inclusion of technical details such as a tubular body and twin needle stitching ensures the garment retains its shape, even after repeated laundering.
Key Features
- 100% Ringspun Semi-Combed Cotton: This fabric choice provides a superior surface for decoration and a comfortable feel against the skin.
- Elastane Ribbed Collar: The addition of elastane allows the collar to stretch and recover, preventing the neckline from becoming misshapen over time.
- Taped Neck: Internal taping reinforces the seam between the collar and the body, enhancing wearer comfort and preventing irritation.
- Tubular Body Construction: By eliminating side seams, the garment offers a more consistent fit and a continuous surface for wrap-around printing.
- Twin Needle Stitching: High-stress areas are reinforced with double-row stitching to ensure the seams remain secure during vigorous activity.
- Tear-Out Label: Allows for easy rebranding, making it a versatile choice for clubs and retailers.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a focus on both comfort and longevity, the SOL'S Kids Imperial utilises semi-combed cotton which removes shorter fibres to create a smoother, stronger yarn. This results in a heavyweight fabric that feels substantial without being restrictive. The design prioritises a clean silhouette, aided by the tubular construction which prevents the garment from twisting. Ethically, this garment carries an impressive array of certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, ensuring it meets rigorous social and environmental standards from Bangladesh to the UK.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the ringspun cotton makes this t-shirt an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring look, such as a school or club crest, our embroidery service provides a raised, professional finish that withstands the rigours of the playground. Alternatively, for larger, more vibrant graphics or event branding, our high-quality printing techniques ensure sharp detail and bold colours. Every customisation project is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since 1976 to deliver a superior finish.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve t-shirt is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications, including school physical education kits, youth club uniforms, and seasonal event merchandise. Its heavier weight makes it an excellent choice for outdoor activities during cooler months, providing an extra layer of protection and warmth for younger wearers.

Practical Advice
Customers should be aware that this specific model from SOL'S tends to run smaller than other standard UK brands. We strongly recommend reviewing the size specifications and perhaps opting for a size larger than usual to ensure a comfortable fit. As this is a heavyweight cotton garment, it also serves as an effective base layer underneath sweatshirts or jackets in colder climates.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your customised garment requires adherence to the manufacturer's care instructions. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in the natural cotton fibres losing their softness or the custom branding becoming compromised.
We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect the surface of any print or embroidery from abrasion. Avoiding high-temperature washes is essential to prevent the heavyweight cotton from shrinking, particularly given the garment's snug fit.
Air drying is the preferred method for preserving the elastane in the collar and the integrity of the fabric. Excessive heat from tumble drying can cause the cotton to contract and may lead to cracking in printed designs over time. When ironing, always use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any decorated areas to ensure your professional branding remains in pristine condition.
