Product Information

Full details

This Fruit Of The Loom Children's Raglan Sleeve Sweatshirt in Navy, size 5-6, is designed for comfort and durability for active kids. Its key benefit is the soft feel provided by Belcoro® yarn and the shape retention from the cotton/lycra® ribbing, making it ideal for everyday wear and print customization. A potential caveat is that while it's 80% cotton, the 20% polyester blend might affect breathability in very warm conditions.

FAQs

What is Belcoro® yarn?

Belcoro® yarn is a type of yarn used by Fruit Of The Loom that provides a softer feel to the fabric and a cleaner surface, which is ideal for printing.

How do I know if the size 5-6 is correct?

Refer to standard UK children's sizing charts for age 5-6 years. It's always recommended to check the specific measurements if available, as sizing can vary.

Can this sweatshirt be bleached?

Only non-chlorine bleach should be used if necessary. It is generally recommended to avoid bleach to preserve the colour and fabric integrity.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 280g/m², indicating a medium to heavy weight fabric suitable for cooler conditions.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very young children?

Yes, it is designed for children, with a focus on comfort and soft materials. However, always supervise young children during play.

How does the polyester content affect the sweatshirt?

The 20% polyester blend adds durability and helps the garment retain its shape. It may slightly reduce breathability compared to 100% cotton, but provides better resilience.

Can I iron this sweatshirt?

Yes, you can iron it, but avoid ironing directly on any decorations. Use a cool iron and iron on the reverse side of the garment.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing within the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid high heat drying. Tumble dry on a medium setting and remove promptly.

Loss of shape retention

Check care labels. The cotton/Lycra® ribbing is designed for shape retention, but excessive heat or improper washing can affect this. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed.

Printing issues after customization

Follow the recommended printing guidelines for the specific fabric blend (80% cotton, 20% polyester). Ensure the garment is clean and dry before printing and that the correct temperature and pressure are used.
