Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Cheadle is a cornerstone of professional corporate attire, designed for those who require a sharp appearance without sacrificing comfort. This long-sleeved shirt features a classic fit that provides a traditional silhouette, offering more room through the chest and waist for ease of movement throughout a busy working day. Constructed from 100% cotton poplin, it combines a smooth, crisp texture with the natural breathability of high-quality cotton fibers. Whether you are representing your business in the boardroom or managing front-of-house operations, the Cheadle delivers a consistent, well-engineered appearance that reflects the standards of your brand.
Key Features
- Taped Seams: These are meticulously applied to prevent puckering after washing, ensuring the shirt maintains its smooth, professional lines and structural integrity.
- Removable Metal Collar Stiffeners: Unlike plastic alternatives that can warp over time, these metal stiffeners provide a permanent, sharp point to the collar, ensuring it remains upright and crisp even when worn without a tie.
- Single Cuff Design: Offers a versatile finish that is easy to manage while maintaining a formal aesthetic suitable for various professional environments.
- Easy-to-Iron Finish: The fabric has been treated to resist deep creasing, significantly reducing the time required for maintenance and keeping you looking smart from morning to evening.
Design & Performance
The choice of a 100% cotton poplin weave is intentional; it creates a lightweight fabric that is exceptionally breathable and comfortable against the skin. In a professional setting where temperature fluctuations are common, this natural fiber helps regulate body heat far more effectively than synthetic blends. The fabric's density is substantial enough to offer complete opacity while remaining light enough for all-season wear. Furthermore, the inclusion of taped seams demonstrates a commitment to durability, as it prevents the common 'wavy' appearance often seen on lower-quality shirts after multiple trips through the laundry.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, tight weave of the Cheadle’s cotton poplin makes it an ideal candidate for custom branding. For a truly sophisticated look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, can render your corporate logo or employee names with high-tensile threads that sit beautifully against the crisp cotton background. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, the flat surface of the poplin is also perfectly suited to high-quality printing. Regardless of the method chosen, our in-house experts ensure that your customisation enhances the garment without compromising the fabric's easy-iron properties.
Use Cases
This shirt is a versatile choice across several sectors. It is particularly effective for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and high-end retail where a polished image is non-negotiable. Because it matches perfectly with the men’s Chelford shirt and the women’s Treviso shirt, it allows businesses to create a cohesive, uniform look across an entire team, regardless of gender or specific style preference.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, remember that the classic fit is designed for comfort and a traditional look; if you prefer a very close-to-body silhouette, you may wish to compare measurements carefully. For those requiring a longer reach, an extra-long sleeve version (36.5") is available in white to ensure a perfect fit without the cuffs riding up the arm. To achieve the best results when layering, this shirt pairs excellently under a structured blazer or waistcoat.
Caring for your product
To maintain the premium finish and the integrity of the taped seams, we recommend a standard machine wash as per the garment's internal instructions. Avoiding overly high temperatures will help preserve the cotton fibers and ensure the 'easy-iron' characteristics remain effective over the life of the shirt.
When drying, it is advisable to hang the shirt immediately after the wash cycle ends. This allows the weight of the water to pull out most minor wrinkles, making the final iron significantly faster. Do not use harsh chemical bleaches, as these will break down the natural cotton fibers and can lead to premature wear or yellowing of the fabric.
