Children's Rip-Resistant T-Shirt – Long or Short Sleeve 9597

The Children's Rip-Resistant T-Shirt 9597 is a strong, durable adaptive garment designed for children who may pull, stretch, tear or repeatedly remove their clothing. Available with either long or short sleeves, it provides a practical option for everyday wear at home, school or in care settings.

Made from a robust polyester and cotton blend, the T-shirt features strong stitching and internal seams that are fully reinforced with special tape to help withstand stretching, pulling and ripping.

Please Note

The fabric is rip-resistant rather than rip-proof. It is designed to withstand pulling, stretching and ripping in most circumstances but is not intended to withstand persistent or extreme behaviour.

The expected lifespan of rip-resistant clothing can vary considerably depending on the individual, their behaviour and how the garment is cared for. As a general guide, garments may last approximately 3 to 12 months.

If the wearer chews or bites clothing, uses sharp objects, or can gain access to and repeatedly pull at internal seams or fabric layers, this garment may not be suitable.

Please note: This item is made to order in the Netherlands and is therefore not returnable. Please double-check the size carefully before ordering and contact Fledglings if any further sizing information is needed.
