Product Overview
The B&C ID.001 LSL is a well-engineered long-sleeved polo shirt designed to offer a professional appearance for large teams without compromising on quality or budget. Built from 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton pique, this garment provides a reliable foundation for corporate uniforms, ensuring a consistent look across a wide range of staff sizes from XS to 4XL.
The long-sleeved design makes it an excellent choice for year-round wear in the UK, providing additional coverage and warmth during cooler months while maintaining the breathable comfort of cotton pique. It is designed specifically for high-volume customisation, making it a staple choice for businesses looking to outfit an entire workforce effectively.
Key Features
- Side Seams for Fit: Unlike tubular garments, the side seams ensure the polo shirt maintains its shape and provides a more tailored, professional fit for the wearer.
- Reinforced 2-Button Placket: The placket is reinforced with fusible interlining, which prevents it from losing its structure after repeated washing and wear.
- Necktape Retention: Internal necktape is used to ensure the collar area remains stable and retains its shape, even in demanding work environments.
- 1x1 Rib Knitted Collar: The classic rib collar provides a crisp, formal look that resists curling at the edges.
- Matching Coloured Buttons: The buttons are dyed to match the fabric perfectly, providing a seamless aesthetic that doesn't distract from your embroidered or printed logo.
Design & Performance
Performance in a workwear context is often about longevity and comfort. The use of pre-shrunk ringspun cotton pique is a deliberate choice here. By pre-shrinking the fabric, B&C ensures that the garment won't drastically change size after its first encounter with a domestic washing machine—a common frustration for business owners and staff alike.
The pique weave is medium-weight, offering a substantial feel that isn't overly heavy. This fabric structure is naturally breathable, allowing for air circulation which is essential for staff who are active throughout the day. The side-seam construction is particularly important, as it prevents the garment from twisting, ensuring the brand logo stays exactly where it was intended to be positioned.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a garment is only as good as the branding it carries. This 100% cotton pique fabric has been specifically tested and approved for all standard printing and embroidery techniques. Because the fabric is a medium-weight pique, it provides a stable surface for high-density embroidery, ensuring logos sit flat without puckering the surrounding material.
For those requiring a bold, high-impact finish, the fabric is equally suited to screen printing and heat transfers. Since 1976, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques, ensuring that whether you choose the "proper" professional look of embroidery or the large-scale visibility of print, the result is durable and sharp. We handle everything in-house to maintain the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved polo shirt is highly versatile. It is an ideal solution for hospitality staff who need to maintain a smart-casual appearance while remaining comfortable during long shifts. It is also perfectly suited for service industries, delivery drivers, or office-based staff who require a cohesive team uniform that can handle daily use.

Practical Advice
When ordering for a large team, we recommend reviewing the sizing guide as this garment covers a broad range from XS (34/36") up to 4XL (52/54"). For those working in outdoor environments, this polo shirt layers exceptionally well under a softshell jacket or bodywarmer without feeling bulky, thanks to its medium-weight construction.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your workwear is essential for a professional image. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday dirt while preserving the integrity of the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of your custom branding.
You must avoid the use of bleach. Bleach is highly abrasive and will not only weaken the cotton pique but will also cause significant fading to the fabric and your embroidered or printed logos.If tumble drying, ensure a standard cycle is used. Overheating the garment can lead to unnecessary wear on the seams. When ironing, use a medium heat (Iron-2 setting) to remove creases, but avoid ironing directly over any printed areas to prevent damage to the decoration. Note that this garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can interfere with the adhesives used in many printing processes.
