Not Your Average Sherpa: Why Our Fleece Jackets for Kids, Infants and Toddlers Are One of a Kind
At Korduroy Kidz, we’re not interested in fast fashion shortcuts. We design clothing with purpose, patience, and long-lasting comfort in mind — especially for the little ones who wear it. That’s why our latest drop, the Sherpa Fleece Corduroy Jacket, has been more than 8 months in the making.
This is not your average fleece. Designed specifically for kids, infants and toddlers, we’ve created something truly unique — a soft, breathable lining that offers all the warmth of wool, without any of the scratchiness or animal fibres. Crafted entirely from GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, it’s kinder on skin, better for the planet, and built to last through endless adventures.
Made in India — Not Mass-Produced
While many children's jackets are churned out in high-volume factories in China, we have chosen to move all manufacturing to India, where we work with ethical, small-scale producers who value quality as much as we do. Every fleece-lined jacket is made with intention — not rushed through a production line. This means better stitching, better materials, and a better fit for babies, toddlers and growing kids.
8–10 Months in the Making
From the beginning, we knew we didn’t want to use traditional synthetic fleece. We also didn’t want wool — it’s heavy, not always gentle on sensitive skin, and doesn’t align with our plant-based values. So we set out to create something that simply didn’t exist: a Sherpa fleece made from 100% organic cotton that feels just as warm and luxurious as wool, but is breathable, easy to wash, and safe for sensitive skin.
After 8 to 10 months of development — countless swatches, fittings, and texture testing — we landed on a lining that we’re proud to say is completely one of a kind and unique.
Better Than Wool — Here’s Why
While wool is a common lining in winterwear for children, we believe there’s a better way. Our fleece:
-
Mimics the warmth and structure of wool
-
100% plant-based and animal-friendly
-
Breathable and doesn’t trap heat, making it great for layering
-
hypoallergenic and free from toxins or chemical finishes — ideal for babies and toddlers with sensitive skin
-
Holds its softness wash after wash
Built for the Next Generation
Most “Sherpa” jackets for kids are lined with synthetic polyester blends that feel rough and don’t breathe. Ours is different. It’s warm but not bulky, soft but structured, and made with fibres that are safe for little bodies and kinder to the earth.
Whether you're dressing your infant for their first winter, keeping your toddler warm at the park, or looking for durable outerwear for your growing child — this jacket delivers comfort, quality, and care in every stitch.
This isn’t just a warm jacket. It’s a Korduroy Kidz original — designed for childhood, made for everyday wear, and stitched with purpose.
