Product Information
Full details
The Shires Tikaboo Sweatshirt is designed for young equestrians and active children who need a blend of warmth, comfort, and fun style. Constructed from a soft, cotton-rich fabric with a brushed inner lining, it provides excellent thermal comfort for daily barn chores or casual wear. While the oversized fit is perfect for layering, parents should note that it offers a very loose silhouette, which may feel bulky if worn under tight-fitting jackets.

Troubleshooting
Ribbing losing elasticity over time
Avoid high-heat drying cycles, which can break down the elastic fibers in the rib-knit trims.
Fabric piling after frequent washing
Wash the sweatshirt inside out with similar cotton fabrics to reduce friction and consider using a fabric shaver if pilling occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup—it is ready to wear straight out of the package. To ensure the longevity of the Tikaboo prints and the integrity of the cotton fabric, it is recommended to wash the sweatshirt inside out in cool water. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can fade the vibrant colors of the prints. Because of the cotton-rich content, it is best to air dry the garment or use a low-heat tumble dry setting to prevent potential shrinking.
