Product Overview
The Anthem midweight t-shirt is a masterclass in combining sustainability with professional-grade construction. This medium-weight garment offers a refined, boxy standard fit that provides a contemporary silhouette for any workforce. Designed with a soft hand feel, it moves away from the coarse texture often associated with basic workwear, offering a premium experience for the wearer while maintaining the resilience required for daily use.
Key Features
- Standard Boxy Fit: Provides a classic, professional shape that allows for ease of movement without appearing overly casual.
- Ribbed Crew Neck: The structured neckline is designed to retain its shape and elasticity, preventing the sagging that often occurs with lower-quality garments.
- Twin-needle Stitching: Applied to the hem and cuffs, this reinforcement ensures the edges of the t-shirt remain secure and do not fray or unpick under the strain of physical activity.
- Sustainable Material Options: Available in 100% organic cotton or organic blends, allowing your business to meet environmental targets without sacrificing durability.
Design & Performance
Performance in workwear is defined by how a fabric behaves over time. The Anthem t-shirt is constructed from ringspun combed organic cotton for the solid shades, creating a smoother surface that is less prone to pilling. For the marl variations, a blend of 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester provides additional structural stability and moisture management. The inclusion of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Peta Approved Vegan certifications confirms that this garment is manufactured to high ethical and safety standards, ensuring it is as kind to the wearer as it is to the environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This medium-weight fabric serves as an exceptional canvas for branding. For a sophisticated and permanent finish, embroidery is highly recommended, particularly for company logos on the chest or names on the sleeve. Our Telford-based team, established in 1976, uses high-tension machinery to ensure embroidery remains crisp and doesn't pull the fabric. Alternatively, the smooth surface of the organic cotton is ideal for printing. This method is preferred for larger, high-impact back designs or promotional messaging where bold colours and sharp lines are paramount.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for hospitality environments, event staffing, and retail uniforms where a polished yet comfortable appearance is required. Its robust construction also makes it a reliable base layer for tradespeople working in construction or facilities management who require a garment that can withstand the demands of a physical working day.

Practical Advice
The standard fit of this t-shirt is designed to be true to size. For those working in layered environments, its breathable organic cotton construction makes it an ideal foundation piece under a sweatshirt or softshell jacket. If you are between sizes, consider the boxy nature of the cut, which provides a bit more room through the torso than a slim-fit alternative.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your customised garment, it is vital to follow the specific care requirements. We strongly advise that you do not tumble dry this t-shirt. The high heat of a dryer can cause natural organic fibres to contract and may degrade the integrity of any printed elements, leading to premature cracking or peeling.
When ironing, please use a medium heat setting. This provides enough warmth to remove creases without risking damage to the combed cotton fibres. We recommend ironing the garment inside out, especially over areas with custom embroidery or print, to protect the branding from direct heat contact.
