Fabric & Construction Details

Built on the Independent Trading Co. SS4001Y Youth Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt — ITC's premium youth midweight fleece, engineered for durability, comfort, and all-day wearability.

• 🧵 8.5 oz. 80% ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester blend fleece with 100% cotton face, 20 singles — at 8.5 oz., this is a substantial, warm midweight fleece with a premium 100% cotton face for maximum softness against the skin. The 20-singles yarn count creates a smooth, dense face fabric that holds its shape and color through repeated washing and active wear. Ring-spun cotton creates a stronger, smoother yarn than open-end spun cotton — the result is a softer, more durable fabric built for kids who wear their clothes hard.
• 💡 Heather color blends vary by colorway: Grey Heather is 75% cotton / 25% polyester. Charcoal Heather and Royal Heather are 55% cotton / 45% polyester — the higher poly content in heather colorways creates the characteristic marled, textured look while maintaining softness and durability.
• 🔧 Split stitch double-needle sewing on all seams — every seam on this hoodie is reinforced with split stitch double-needle construction, creating stronger, more durable seams that resist splitting and fraying under active, everyday wear. This is a premium construction detail that sets ITC apart — built to last through the school year and beyond.
• 🪡 Jersey lined hood — the hood is lined with jersey fabric for a soft, comfortable feel against the face and head. Clean, structured hood shape that stays in place.
• 🎗️ Twill neck tape — a twill tape sewn inside the neck seam reinforces the collar and prevents stretching and distortion over time — a durability detail that keeps the neckline looking clean and fitting correctly wash after wash.
• 💪 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband — classic ribbed cuffs and waistband provide a snug, comfortable fit that holds its shape through active wear.
• 🔒 No drawcord — the hood has no drawcord, making this hoodie safer and more appropriate for younger wearers in school and active environments. A thoughtful, youth-specific design detail.
• 🏷️ Tearaway label — no itch, no irritation, just pure comfort all day
• 👕 Classic fit, youth sizing YS–YXL — sized specifically for youth bodies, not just scaled-down adult sizes

The Graphic: BL Chrome Racing Badge

Left-chest placement. Chrome. Metallic blue. Racing authority.

The BL Chrome Racing Badge — a circular/oval badge with a high-gloss chrome and metallic blue finish, gear-tooth border detailing, bold "BL" monogram at center, and "BENJAMIN LAALY" text banner below — brings a completely different energy to the Signature Wear Collection. Where the adult hoodies carry the dark bronze military badge, the youth hoodie gets the chrome racing badge — high-gloss, dynamic, and built for speed. The chrome finish catches the light and reads with a premium, almost 3D quality that kids and parents will both notice. Against the Royal Heather colorway, the chrome and metallic blue badge creates a bold, electric pairing — royal blue meets chrome in a combination that feels like a championship moment.
