Fruit of the Loom Childrens Unisex Raglan Sleeve Sweatshirt - Red - Size 7-8

Belcoro® yarn is a spinning process used by Fruit of the Loom that results in a softer yarn with a cleaner surface, leading to a more comfortable fabric and better print quality.

It means the ribbed sections are made from a blend of cotton and Lycra®. This blend provides stretch and excellent shape retention, so the cuffs and waistband don't easily lose their elasticity.

The sweatshirt is made of a mid-weight fabric (280g/m²), making it warm for everyday wear. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece under a heavier coat or jacket.

It is recommended to check the specific size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer for Fruit of the Loom children's apparel. Measurements like chest and length can help ensure a proper fit.

Yes, the Belcoro® yarn provides a good base for printing. However, ensure any printing or customization is done according to fabric care guidelines to avoid damage.

For best results and to minimize shrinkage, machine wash warm, inside out, with like colours, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.

While the Belcoro® yarn helps with a cleaner printing process, like all dyed fabrics, colours can fade over time with repeated washing. Washing inside out in cold or warm water with like colours and avoiding direct sunlight during drying can help preserve the colour.

Ensure you are washing and drying on low heat settings. Avoid using high heat in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Consider air drying to prevent shrinkage.

Wash with like colours, especially for the first few washes. Use cold or warm water, not hot, and a mild detergent. Check the care label for specific dye recommendations.

Follow the care instructions carefully, particularly regarding washing and drying. The Cotton/Lycra® ribbing should help maintain shape, but improper care can affect this.

Some pilling can occur with cotton blends over time. Washing inside out and using a gentle cycle can help minimize this. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim with zippers.
