Product Overview
The SOL'S Kids North Fleece Jacket is a robust and dependable outer layer designed to withstand the rigorous demands of school life and outdoor play. This heavyweight fleece is constructed from a high-density polyester fabric, providing exceptional warmth and insulation without the need for a bulky lining. Its unlined design ensures that while children remain warm, the garment remains breathable during more active periods. With a focus on longevity, the fabric is treated to be pill-resistant, ensuring it maintains a professional appearance even after repeated cycles in the domestic wash. This makes it an ideal choice for parents and school administrators looking for a durable uniform component that looks as good at the end of the term as it did on the first day.
Key Features
- Pill-Resistant Finish: The high-quality polyester is treated to prevent the formation of small bobbles, ensuring the fleece remains smooth and smart through heavy use.
- High-Density Fabric: Provides superior thermal protection by trapping heat effectively, making it perfect for colder mornings.
- Taped Neck: Enhances the structural integrity of the garment and prevents irritation against the skin for all-day comfort.
- Collar-High Full-Length Zip: Allows for versatile temperature control and added protection against the wind when fully fastened.
- Secure Zip Pockets: Two front pockets equipped with zips provide a safe place for small essentials or cold hands.
- Elasticated Cuffs and Adjustable Hem: The elasticated cuffs and drawcord hem allow for a tailored fit that seals out draughts and retains body heat.
Design & Performance
In terms of performance, the SOL'S North Fleece is engineered for resilience. The 100% polyester fabric is woven to a high density, which creates a substantial feel that offers more protection than standard lightweight alternatives. Because it is unlined, it provides a streamlined silhouette that can easily be layered under a waterproof shell during harsher weather conditions. The attention to detail in the construction, such as the taped neck and reinforced seams, reflects a commitment to garment longevity that busy parents will appreciate.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
To maintain the premium finish and integrity of the garment, this fleece is available for embroidery only. The textured, high-pile surface of fleece fabric is unsuitable for traditional printing methods, which can crack or peel when applied to such a flexible material. Embroidery, however, allows the thread to be securely anchored into the fabric's structure, creating a professional and permanent brand identity. Our in-house embroidery team, operating from our Telford base since 1976, uses precision stitching to ensure your school or club logo is rendered with exceptional detail and durability.
Use Cases
This fleece is a versatile staple suitable for a wide range of environments. It is an excellent choice for primary and secondary school uniforms, providing a smart alternative to a traditional jumper. It is also highly effective for nursery groups, junior sports teams, and winter outdoor activities where warmth and ease of movement are paramount. Its retail-ready finish also makes it a popular choice for youth club merchandise and community group apparel.

Practical Advice
When selecting your sizes, please note that this particular model runs small in comparison to other brands. We strongly recommend reviewing the sizing guide and perhaps considering a size larger than usual to accommodate growth and layering. As a heavyweight fleece, it performs best when worn over a polo shirt or t-shirt, and can serve as the primary outer layer in dry, cold conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure your fleece and its embroidered branding remain in top condition, we recommend a thoughtful approach to laundering. Proper care will maintain the pill-resistant properties of the fabric and keep the embroidery threads vibrant.
We suggest a standard domestic wash at 40°C. Avoiding higher temperatures is crucial, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibres and cause the embroidery to pucker or lose its lustre. Always wash the garment inside out to protect the stitched logo from abrasion against other items in the machine.
Air drying is highly recommended. Using a tumble dryer, particularly on high heat settings, can lead to static build-up and may slightly shrink the fabric. If you must use a dryer, ensure it is on a cool setting. Ironing should generally be avoided; however, if necessary, use a very cool iron and never iron directly over the embroidered area, as the high heat can melt the polyester threads used in the branding.
