Full details
The Shires Tikaboo Sweatshirt is a cozy, durable layering piece designed specifically for active children and young riders. Crafted from a soft, cotton-rich fabric with a fuzzy brushed interior, it provides excellent warmth for everyday wear or barn chores; however, parents should note that because of its cotton content, it may be prone to minor shrinkage if not laundered according to the care instructions.

FAQs
Is the sweatshirt true to size?
The Tikaboo Sweatshirt features a roomy, oversized fit. If your child prefers a more fitted look, consider sizing down.
Can this be worn for horse riding?
Yes, its comfortable, non-restrictive design makes it an excellent choice for casual riding and yard activities.
What is the primary material used?
It is made from a soft-touch, cotton-rich fabric designed for comfort and durability.
Does it have a hood?
No, this model features a standard round crew neck design without a hood.
How should I wash it to prevent shrinkage?
We recommend washing in cool water and line drying. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the cotton fabric.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilled after multiple washes
Pilling is common with natural cotton fibers. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills and keep the sweatshirt looking new.
Rib-knit trim feeling stretched out
Avoid hanging the sweatshirt on thin wire hangers, which can stretch the neck. Lay flat to dry to allow the ribbing to retract naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tikaboo Sweatshirt remains soft and retains its shape, follow these care guidelines: Machine wash the garment on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. To prevent shrinkage of the cotton fibers, air-drying is highly recommended. If you must use a tumble dryer, select the lowest heat setting. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or heavy fabric softeners, as these can break down the brushed interior fibers over time. The sweatshirt is compatible with standard child-sized layering pieces, such as long-sleeve base layers or casual cotton t-shirts.
