Ideal For
The Y5501 brings the same premium fleece as the adult 8801 jogger into youth sizing, giving decorators a single-source solution for family-matching and youth-specific programs. School spirit-wear vendors, youth athletics, dance studios, and streetwear brands expanding into kids’ lines all rely on it. Black, Heather Grey, and White cover the core neutrals that dominate youth decorated-apparel orders year-round.
Fabric & Construction
Constructed from 8.8 oz (298 GSM) 70/30 cotton-poly fleece (the same fabric as the adult 8801), the Y5501 ensures hand-feel parity across adult and youth set programs. The regular-fit cut features a tapered leg with cuffed rib bottoms scaled to youth proportions. An elasticated waist with drawstring provides adjustable fit, with a key safety detail: sizes XS, S, and M ship without the drawstring to meet children’s safety standards. Off-seam pockets keep thigh panels flat for decoration, and the tear-away label supports fast private-label rebranding.
Decoration Guide
Decoration performance mirrors the adult 8801. Screen printing is the primary method, and the 298 GSM fleece face handles plastisol and water-based inks cleanly on scaled-down leg panels. DTG works on the flat thigh area, though you should scale artwork and ink volume to the smaller print zone. Embroidery is best limited to small logos with a firm stabilizer, and heat-transfer vinyl is practical for names and numbers on youth team orders. Sublimation is not viable on this cotton-dominant blend.

Pairs Well With
Pair the Y5501 with the Youth Pullover Hoodie (Y300) for complete youth sweatsuits that match fabric weight and construction. For brands running adult-and-youth set programs, the Y5501 coordinates directly with the adult Fleece Joggers (8801) and Midweight Pullover Hoodie (P280) in overlapping colorways, making family-matching collections easy to build from stock.
