Product Overview
The SOL'S Kids Sporty T-Shirt is a well-engineered garment specifically designed to meet the demands of active children and school sports teams. Constructed from 100% polyester, this lightweight t-shirt provides a professional appearance while maintaining the functional properties required for high-intensity physical activity. The classic fit ensures a comfortable silhouette that does not restrict movement, making it an essential component of any youth athletic kit.
With its focus on moisture management and breathability, this t-shirt is built to handle the rigours of the playground and the sports field. The inclusion of technical design elements, such as raglan sleeves and a curved back hem, demonstrates a commitment to both performance and style. Furthermore, the garment carries several prestigious certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, ensuring it meets high ethical and safety standards.
Key Features
- Textured Breathable Fabric: The lightweight polyester is designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during prolonged exercise.
- Raglan Sleeves: This sleeve construction eliminates shoulder seams, allowing for a full range of motion in the arms, which is critical for sports like tennis or athletics.
- Self-Fabric Bound Collar: The reinforced collar provides a clean, professional finish and helps the garment retain its shape after repeated wear and laundering.
- Twin Needle Sleeves and Hem: Double-stitched seams provide superior durability and resistance to fraying, ensuring the t-shirt withstands the stresses of active use.
- Curved Back Hem: The extended rear hem offers additional coverage during movement, preventing the shirt from riding up during physical exertion.
Design & Performance
The performance of this t-shirt is rooted in its 100% polyester composition. Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture, this synthetic fabric is engineered to be breathable and quick-drying. The textured finish not only aids in moisture transport but also provides a soft feel against the skin, reducing the risk of chafing during repetitive motions.
Durability is a key consideration for children's workwear and sportswear. The twin needle stitching on the sleeves and hem acts as a structural reinforcement, ensuring the garment remains intact even under significant tension. The classic fit provides enough room for air circulation without being overly baggy, striking the right balance for competitive environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally versatile when it comes to branding. For a traditional and durable professional finish, our embroidery service is ideal for school crests, club logos, or individual names. Embroidery offers a high-quality, tactile result that withstands frequent washing.
However, this specific t-shirt is particularly well-suited for sublimation printing. Because it is 100% polyester, sublimation allows the ink to bond directly with the fibres, resulting in vibrant, full-colour designs that are breathable and will never crack or peel. Our expert in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, can advise on the best method to ensure your branding looks its best.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is a superior choice for a variety of high-energy environments. It is perfectly suited for school PE kits, youth running clubs, and racquet sports where freedom of movement is paramount. Its professional finish also makes it an excellent option for junior staff at leisure centres or as part of a summer gymwear collection.

Practical Advice
It is important to note that this specific model from SOL'S runs smaller than some other brands. We strongly recommend reviewing the size charts and perhaps opting for a size larger than usual to ensure a comfortable fit for the child, especially if they are between sizes. For layering, this t-shirt works effectively as a base layer under a sweatshirt or tracksuit top in cooler weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic quality of your customised t-shirt, consistent care is essential. Following proper maintenance routines ensures the technical fibres continue to wick moisture effectively and that your branding remains sharp.
When laundering, avoid using high temperatures as excessive heat can damage the polyester fibres and degrade the integrity of printed or embroidered designs. Similarly, avoid the use of bleach, which can weaken the fabric and cause significant colour fading, compromising the professional appearance of the garment.
We recommend air drying rather than using a tumble dryer. Intense heat from drying cycles can shrink the garment and cause synthetic fabrics to become brittle over time. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent the design from melting or distorting.
