Product Overview

Key Features
- Twin chest pockets with integrated flaps provide secure storage for essential documents and small equipment, ensuring items remain safe while on the move.
- A dedicated pen holder allows for immediate access to writing instruments, a small but vital detail for professionals who frequently sign manifests or logbooks.
- The inclusion of epaulettes provides the necessary infrastructure for rank slides or identification, maintaining the standard requirements for uniform-led industries.
- The two-button cuff design offers adjustability, allowing the wearer to secure the sleeve comfortably around the wrist or accommodate a timepiece.
- A slim-fit construction provides a closer fit to the body, reducing excess fabric and creating a crisp, professional profile under a jacket or jumper.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a premium blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this shirt strikes an ideal balance between comfort and resilience. This lightweight fabric is specifically chosen for its breathability and its ability to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The polyester content ensures the shirt remains relatively crease-resistant, which is essential for maintaining a tidy appearance during long flights or extended shifts.
The construction is robust, designed to endure the constant movement associated with technical and administrative duties. The fabric feels soft against the skin due to the cotton content but maintains its structural integrity after multiple laundering cycles, making it a reliable staple for any professional wardrobe.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a uniform is a reflection of your brand's standards. The Ares Pilot Shirt is an excellent canvas for customisation. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this garment; a crisp logo or staff name embroidered above the chest pocket or on the collar provides a permanent, high-quality finish that exudes professionalism.
For larger, high-impact branding, print remains an option, though the technical nature of the pilot shirt often lends itself better to the texture and longevity of embroidery. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically tailored for the aviation and transport sectors, but its clean lines and functional pockets make it equally suited for security personnel, corporate hospitality, and frontline service staff who require a structured, uniform appearance.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment, we recommend reviewing our size guides carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders and chest. Because it is a lightweight fabric, it layers exceptionally well under knitwear or tailored jackets without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional finish and structural integrity of your pilot shirt, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes oils and perspiration while protecting the polyester-cotton fibres from heat-related degradation.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, especially on the white fabric. Such chemicals can weaken the fibres over time and may cause the fabric to lose its bright, crisp appearance, eventually leading to a yellowed or greyed tint.
When drying, it is advisable to hang the shirt immediately after the wash cycle finishes. This minimises deep-set wrinkles and reduces the amount of ironing required, which in turn extends the life of the fabric and any applied customisation.
