Product Overview
The B&C ID.001 Women's Polo is an essential foundation piece for any professional uniform, engineered to provide a consistent appearance across large teams. This short-sleeved piqué polo shirt features a classic feminine cut that avoids the boxy nature of unisex alternatives, ensuring a professional and flattering silhouette for all staff members. Constructed from pre-shrunk ringspun cotton, it offers a reliable fit wash after wash, making it a dependable choice for businesses that require high-volume, cost-effective workwear without compromising on style.
Key Features
- 1x1 Rib Flat Knitted Collar: Designed to maintain its shape and resist curling, ensuring your team looks sharp throughout the working day.
- Reinforced 2-Button Placket: The placket is strengthened with fusible interlining, providing extra durability in a high-wear area and preventing the fabric from distorting.
- Necktape and Side Seams: Internal necktape provides a smooth finish against the skin, while side seams ensure the garment retains its structural integrity and feminine shape over time.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from XS to 3XL (UK sizes 8 to 20), allowing for a truly inclusive uniform policy.
Design & Performance
Crafted from medium-weight piqué fabric, this polo shirt balances breathability with a substantial feel. The use of 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton is a deliberate choice for performance; ringspun fibres are smoother and stronger than standard cotton, resulting in a softer hand-feel and a more stable surface for customisation. The side-seamed construction is a mark of a well-engineered garment, offering a superior fit compared to cheaper tubular designs that can often twist after laundering.
This polo also carries a significant array of accreditations, including Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, reflecting a commitment to ethical and safe manufacturing processes. It is a robust, reliable garment designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear in a professional environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The B&C ID.001 is an ideal canvas for corporate branding. For a traditional and highly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. The tight piqué weave provides a stable base for intricate logos and staff names, creating a textured, high-quality look that lasts the lifetime of the garment.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics, this polo also performs exceptionally well with print. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure that your logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance your business demands.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for the hospitality and retail sectors, where a smart yet approachable appearance is vital. It is also an excellent choice for promotional events or as a standard office uniform where a comfortable alternative to a formal shirt is preferred. Because it matches the unisex ID.001 style, it is ideal for creating a cohesive look across a mixed-gender workforce.

Practical Advice
This polo is designed with a classic feminine fit. For the best results when outfitting a team, we recommend referring to the UK size equivalents (8 through to 20). If your staff are frequently active or work in warmer environments, the breathable piqué knit will provide comfort throughout a full shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of your polo, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime while protecting the cotton fibres and ensuring your embroidered or printed branding remains vibrant.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the cotton fibres and lead to premature fading of the fabric's colour. Similarly, we advise against dry cleaning, as the solvents used can be unnecessarily abrasive on the fabric and any applied customisation.
Avoid the use of a tumble dryer. Air drying is the safest method to prevent shrinkage and ensure the garment maintains its original shape. For a crisp finish, use a medium iron (setting 2), but please ensure you do not iron directly over any printed logos, as the heat will damage the application.
