What if your child’s next fleece could help clean up the planet at the same time as keeping them warm?
The Earth Wardrobe Recycled Polyester Kids Microfleece is made entirely from 100% post-consumer recycled PET plastic bottles — the same bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean, transformed through Earth Wardrobe’s perPETual® sustainable yarn process into a soft, warm, practical fleece that performs as well as any conventional alternative. Available in Black, Grey, and Navy. At just £12.
Sustainability You Can Actually See and Feel
Earth Wardrobe’s commitment to sustainability isn’t a marketing afterthought — it’s built into every element of this fleece:
- 100% post-consumer PET recycled plastic bottles — using perPETual® sustainable yarns that offer equivalent performance to conventional polyester
- YKK NATULON® eco-friendly zip — even the zip is sustainably sourced, made by YKK using recycled materials
- PFC-free construction — no perfluorocarbons, the harmful chemicals found in many conventional water-resistant treatments
- End-of-life recyclable — when the fleece eventually reaches the end of its life, it can be recycled rather than going to landfill
- Biodegradable bags & recycled cartons — the packaging is as considered as the product itself
This is what genuine sustainability looks like — not a single green credential bolted on for marketing purposes, but a product designed from material to packaging with environmental responsibility at its core.
The Practical Specs That Parents Care About
- Soft bound elasticised cuffs and hem — stays in place during active play, no riding up or bunching
- 1/4 front YKK NATULON® zip — easy for kids to manage themselves, great for temperature regulation

- Hang loop — easy to hang on a peg at school or at home
- Easy wash, quick-dry — machine washable and fast-drying, ideal for busy family laundry routines
- Ideal for schoolwear — designed with the school environment in mind, in classic colours that work with any uniform
- Available in Black, Grey, and Navy — the three colours that cover virtually every school uniform requirement
Real-Life Usage Situations
🏫 School Days & Uniform Layering
The three colourways — Black, Grey, and Navy — are specifically chosen to complement school uniforms. The quarter-zip design means children can regulate their own temperature throughout the day, zipping up for the cold morning walk and unzipping in the warm classroom. The hang loop means it lives on the school peg rather than getting lost on the floor.
🌲 Outdoor Activities & After-School Clubs
Football training, forest school, after-school clubs, weekend sports — the microfleece is the perfect mid-layer for active children in cooler weather. Quick-dry means it’s ready for the next day even if it gets wet, and the easy-wash construction handles the inevitable mud and grass stains without fuss.
🏕️ Camping & Family Adventures
A lightweight, packable fleece is an essential piece of kit for family camping trips, hiking days, and outdoor adventures. The microfleece packs down small, provides genuine warmth as a mid-layer under a waterproof, and the recycled construction means you’re teaching your children about sustainability through the choices you make — not just the conversations you have.
🍡 Everyday Casual Wear
Weekends, park visits, trips to the shops — a classic fleece in navy, grey, or black works with virtually everything in a child’s wardrobe. The clean, simple design means it doesn’t date, and the quality construction means it lasts through multiple children if needed.
🎁 The Eco-Conscious Gift for Growing Kids
For parents who care about the environmental impact of what their children wear, a fleece made entirely from recycled plastic bottles is a genuinely meaningful gift. Practical, durable, and with a sustainability story that children can understand and feel proud of.
The Value Case
Sustainable kids’ fleeces from eco-conscious brands like Patagonia Kids, Polarn O. Pyret, or Frugi typically retail between £35 and £65. School-focused fleeces from mainstream retailers like M&S or Next range from £15 to £25 but use conventional polyester with no sustainability credentials.
The Earth Wardrobe Recycled Microfleece delivers 100% recycled construction, PFC-free treatment, eco-friendly zip hardware, and end-of-life recyclability at just £12 — making it up to 82% cheaper than premium sustainable alternatives, and better specified than conventional school fleeces at a similar or lower price point.
It’s the rare product that is simultaneously the most sustainable and the most affordable option in its category.
