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.

FAQs

Is the fit true to size?

The sweatshirt is designed with an oversized fit, meaning it will naturally have a loose and roomy silhouette.

Can this be worn for riding?

Yes, it is suitable for riding, though the oversized nature means it is best suited for cooler weather or casual hacking.

Is the material itchy?

No, the interior features a soft brushed lining designed specifically for comfort against the skin.

How should I clean the sweatshirt?

Machine wash inside out in cool water and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What is the age range for size 7-8?

This size is designed for children typically aged 7 to 8 years old, taking the oversized fit into account.

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.
