Product Overview
The UX Children’s Hooded Sweatshirt by Uneek Clothing is a robust and dependable garment designed specifically for the active lifestyle of children. Balancing comfort with long-term durability, this sweatshirt is constructed from a high-quality blend of cotton and polyester, making it an ideal choice for school uniforms, junior sports teams, and youth organisations. Its design focuses on structural integrity, ensuring it maintains its shape and appearance even after the frequent laundering typical of childrenswear.
Key Features
Reactive Dyed Fabric: This specialised dyeing process ensures that the colour remains vibrant and resistant to fading, even when subjected to high-temperature washing.
Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the neck, shoulders, armholes, and sleeves provides superior seam strength, preventing unravelling during rigorous physical activity.
Lycra Ribbed Cuffs, Welt, and Neck: The inclusion of Lycra allows these high-movement areas to retain their elasticity and fit, preventing the garment from becoming misshapen over time.
Double Fabric Hood: A dual-layered hood offers enhanced warmth and a more substantial, professional finish compared to single-layer alternatives.
Brushed Effect Interior: The fabric is treated to create a soft, fleecy interior that provides exceptional comfort and thermal insulation for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of this hooded sweatshirt is rooted in its 50% Polyester and 50% Cotton composition. This blend offers the natural breathability and soft hand-feel of cotton alongside the hard-wearing, shrink-resistant properties of polyester. The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to provide warmth in cooler weather while remaining breathable enough for indoor wear. The set-in sleeve design offers a classic, structured silhouette that allows for a full range of movement without restriction.
Furthermore, the taped neck serves as a comfort feature, covering the raw seams at the back of the neck to prevent irritation. The inclusion of a front pouch pocket provides both a practical storage solution and a hand-warming feature, making it a versatile piece of apparel for various environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This sweatshirt serves as an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring look, embroidery is highly recommended for school crests, club logos, or individual names. The fabric's stable weave ensures that even intricate needlework remains crisp and professional.
If your requirement involves large, bold graphics—such as for event branding or tour hoodies—printing is a superior choice. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, manages all customisation in-house, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical precision to withstand the life of the garment.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for primary and secondary school uniforms where durability is paramount. It is also a popular choice for junior sports clubs, scouting groups, and dance troupes requiring a unified and professional appearance. Its resilience makes it equally appropriate for outdoor education centres and active youth workshops.

Practical Advice
When selecting a size for children, it is often advisable to consider the layering that will be worn underneath. This sweatshirt is designed to fit comfortably over a polo shirt or t-shirt. Given the rapid growth of children, reviewing the size specifications against a current well-fitting garment is recommended before committing to customisation.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of this garment and the custom branding applied to it, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This higher temperature is particularly effective for removing the heavy soiling and bacteria that children frequently encounter, ensuring the sweatshirt remains hygienic.
It is important to avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the reactive dyes and weaken the polyester-cotton fibres over time. Proper laundering at the recommended temperature will help maintain the garment's shape, colour, and soft brushed interior for as long as possible.
