Engineered for Performance

The Larkwood Sustainable Sweatshirt represents a significant step forward in ethical garment production for the youth market. Composed of a 260gsm blend of 60% regenerated cotton and 40% recycled polyester, this garment delivers on both environmental responsibility and physical durability. The addition of recycled polyester significantly increases the tensile strength of the fabric, ensuring it resists shrinking and warping even after frequent washing—a common challenge in pure cotton alternatives. The brushed back fleece interior acts as an efficient thermal insulator, trapping body heat to keep children warm in cooler environments. For organisations and schools prioritising their carbon footprint, this item aligns perfectly with sustainability goals without compromising on the quality expected of professional Kids Hoodies and sweatshirts. It is fully certified by Oeko-Tex and GRS, verifying that the materials are safe and genuinely recycled.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Comfort is the driving force behind this design. The interior brushed fleece provides a super-soft touch against the skin, making it a cosy favourite for children. The neckline, cuffs, and hem feature self-fabric knitted ribs that offer flexibility and shape retention, ensuring a neat fit that moves with the child. A classic flatlock 'V' stitch detail at the neck adds a touch of heritage athletic styling. Uniquely, the smaller sizes (0/6 to 24/36 months) are equipped with YKK popper fastenings on the shoulder, expanding the neck opening to make dressing struggles a thing of the past. The tag-free construction ensures there is no scratching or irritation at the back of the neck. It is a garment designed to be worn all day, from the classroom to the playground.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility
