Independent Trading Co. Toddler Lightweight Special Blend Raglan Zip Hood | PRM10TSBZ

Description

The Independent Trading Co. PRM10TSBZ is a toddler-sized full-zip hoodie built on the same special blend construction that made the adult version a staple for decorated apparel programs. The raglan sleeve construction means no shoulder seam to navigate during embroidery placement, and the lightweight fabric weight keeps small kids comfortable without overheating — a common complaint with standard fleece on toddlers.

Who Orders It

Youth sports programs ordering matching family gear for athletes and their younger siblings. Daycares and preschools building branded uniforms that parents actually want to put on their kids. Summer camps needing lightweight layers for cool mornings. Children’s boutique brands launching mini-me collections. Nonprofit family events where the smallest attendees need to match the crew. Breweries and restaurants creating full family merch lines.

Decoration

The smooth special blend face takes screen printing with clean ink adhesion — less texture interference than standard fleece. Left chest and back yoke are your primary placement zones on toddler sizing. Embroidery holds well on the lightweight fleece, though keep stitch counts moderate (under 8,000) to avoid puckering on the smaller canvas. DTG prints cleanly on heather colorways with proper pretreatment. The raglan construction eliminates shoulder seam issues for full-front designs.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on toddler hoodies?
Screen printing and embroidery both work well. For most toddler programs, we recommend left chest embroidery or a small back yoke print — keeps the design proportional to the garment size and avoids overwhelming the piece.

Is this good for daycare or preschool uniforms?
Yes. The lightweight construction means kids stay comfortable indoors and during active play. The full zip makes it easy for teachers and parents to get on and off. Preshrunk fabric means sizing stays consistent through the laundry cycles these will inevitably see.

How does the sizing run?
True to standard toddler sizing. 2T fits most 2-year-olds, 4T for 4-year-olds, 6T for 5-6 year olds. When in doubt for programs, size up — toddlers grow fast and parents appreciate the extra wear time.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
