Product Information

Full details

This guide is for parents and guardians looking for comfortable and durable everyday wear for children aged 9-10. The key benefit is its soft feel and good shape retention, making it ideal for active kids. A potential caveat is that it's a blend fabric, which may affect breathability compared to 100% cotton in very warm conditions. This sweatshirt is designed for casual wear, featuring a cotton/Lycra rib for cuffs, neck, and waistband, and is produced using Belcoro® yarn for a softer touch and improved printing surface. It offers a classic crew neck and raglan sleeves for ease of movement.

FAQs

What is Belcoro® yarn?

Belcoro® yarn is a special type of yarn used by Fruit of the Loom that results in a softer fabric feel and a cleaner surface for printing, making it ideal for customisation.

What does Cotton/Lycra® rib mean for the cuffs and waistband?

It means the elasticated parts of the cuffs and waistband are made from a blend of cotton and Lycra. This blend helps them stretch and return to their original shape, ensuring a snug fit and preventing sagging over time.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the use of Belcoro® yarn contributes to a softer feel, which is generally well-suited for children's skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

What is the fabric weight and why is it important?

The fabric weight is 280g/m². This indicates a medium-to-heavy weight fabric, which makes the sweatshirt durable and provides good warmth, suitable for cooler weather or layering.

Can this sweatshirt be used for sports activities?

The raglan sleeves offer good freedom of movement, making it suitable for casual sports and active play. However, for high-intensity sports, dedicated athletic wear may be more appropriate due to breathability and moisture-wicking properties.

How should I wash this sweatshirt to ensure it lasts?

Machine wash warm (around 40°C) with like colours. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on medium or low, or preferably air dry. Iron on a medium setting if needed.

What does 'FRUIT OF THE LOOM - a brand steeped in tradition' mean?

This phrase highlights that Fruit of the Loom is a well-established brand with a long history, suggesting reliability and a commitment to producing quality garments.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing on a warm cycle (not hot) and tumble drying on a medium or low setting. For best results, air dry the garment.

Pilling or fabric fuzziness

Turn the garment inside out before washing and drying to reduce friction. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or towels.

Colour fading

Wash with similar colours. Use a detergent that is colour-safe. Avoid direct sunlight when drying the garment, as prolonged exposure can fade colours.

Loss of shape

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. The Cotton/Lycra® ribbing should help maintain shape, but excessive heat can degrade the elastic fibres.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft feel due to Belcoro® yarn.
  • Good shape retention from Cotton/Lycra® ribbing.
  • Durable construction suitable for active children.
  • Comfortable fit with raglan sleeves.
  • Versatile unisex design.

Cons

  • Polyester blend may be less breathable than 100% cotton in very hot weather.
  • Requires specific care to maintain fabric integrity.
  • May shrink if washed or dried at excessively high temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This sweatshirt requires no setup as it is a ready-to-wear garment. It is compatible with standard washing machines and dryers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm (around 40°C or 104°F) with like colours. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not use bleach. Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric fibres and colour.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry medium. For best results and to minimize shrinkage, consider line drying.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a medium setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered designs.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean, as the chemicals used can degrade the fabric blend.
