tuc tuc boys' sweatshirts are made from soft, warm sweatshirt fleece, with hoods, zips or crew necks, and prints featuring dinosaurs, tigers, rhinos, cars or streetwear motifs. Sizes run from 6 months to 16 years. Pair them with boys' trousers or, if you prefer knitwear, take a look at boys' jumpers.
Which sweatshirt for which moment
- For school: zip-up, so he can get it on and off without help.
- For the park: hooded with a kangaroo pocket, warmer when the wind picks up.
- Under a coat: a crew-neck pullover that isn't bulky.
Fleece is the key to warmth
Almost all of them are sweatshirt fleece with a soft brushed inside: warm without being heavy, and they stand up to plenty of washes. On mild days a T-shirt underneath is enough; in winter, they're the perfect mid-layer.
Size by height
3 years = 93–98 cm, 5 years = 105–110 cm, 7 years = 117–122 cm, 10 years = 129–136 cm, 12 years = 137–144 cm. If he's between two sizes, go bigger: sweatshirts with elasticated cuffs allow for that extra room. Check the size guide. That way the sleeves won't end up too short halfway through the season.
Zips for the little ones?
Up to around 5–6 years, a full zip gives them independence: they can take it off by themselves in class and at lunchtime. After that, many prefer pullover sweatshirts with big prints.
Frequently asked questions
What size sweatshirt does a 4-year-old boy need?
A 4-year-old boy wears size 4 years if he's between 99 and 104 cm tall. If he's already around 105 cm, move up to size 5 years (105–110 cm) so it lasts all winter. Check the size guide before you buy.
Are tuc tuc boys' sweatshirts warm?
Yes, most are sweatshirt fleece, a fabric with a brushed inside that keeps the warmth in. They're ideal for autumn and winter as the main layer indoors or as a mid-layer under a coat on the coldest days.
How do you stop the print on a boys' sweatshirt from fading?
Wash the sweatshirt inside out on a cold cycle, don't tumble dry, and never iron over the print. That way the design and the brushed inside stay looking new for longer. Also follow the care label on each garment.
Hoodie or jumper for a boy in winter?
For everyday wear and the park, a fleece hoodie is more practical and hard-wearing. A knitted jumper looks smarter and is a good choice for lunches or celebrations. You can see the jumpers in boys' jumpers and sweatshirts.
What sweatshirt to buy a 3-year-old boy?
3-year-olds usually love hoodies with ears or with dinosaurs, tigers and cars. Choose size 4 years if he's taller than 96 cm, and go for a zip-up so he can put it on by himself.

tuc tuc has boys' fleece sweatshirts that are hooded, zip-up, pullover and with a kangaroo pocket, with prints featuring animals, dinosaurs, cars, scooters and streetwear motifs. Sizes run from 6 months to 16 years, made in line with the European REACH regulation.
