Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Chester Classic Fit Shirt is a cornerstone of professional attire, designed for those who value a traditional silhouette and the superior comfort of natural fibres. Constructed from 100% cotton poplin, this garment offers a crisp, smooth finish that remains breathable throughout a long working day.

Design & Performance
Performance in a professional shirt is measured by its ability to look as good at 5 PM as it did at 9 AM. The Chester shirt achieves this through its high-grade cotton poplin weave. Poplin is renowned for its durability and resistance to wear, yet it remains exceptionally lightweight and comfortable against the skin. The classic fit is engineered for the busy professional, providing the necessary volume for physical tasks without appearing baggy.
The inclusion of taped seams is a hallmark of superior shirt construction. By reinforcing the joints, the garment remains structurally sound and retains its tailored appearance even after repeated laundering. This attention to detail ensures that the shirt remains a reliable part of your uniform rotation for the long term.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your business, the Chester shirt is an ideal canvas for customisation. Embroidery is the recommended choice for this premium cotton garment; our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names with precision, providing a textured, high-end finish that complements the classic style of the shirt. For larger, more vibrant promotional designs, print remains a viable and effective option.
At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting our craft since 1976. Our in-house experts ensure that every stitch or print application respects the integrity of the fabric, ensuring your branding looks professional and remains durable through every wash cycle.
Use Cases
The Chester shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, front-of-house hospitality, and formal events. Its versatile design allows it to match seamlessly with the men's Chelford and Cheadle ranges, or coordinate with the women's Treviso shirt for a unified team appearance.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, remember that the classic fit is more generous than a slim fit; if you prefer a closer silhouette, you may wish to review the measurements carefully. For a complete professional look, ensure the metal collar stiffeners are removed before laundering and reinserted before wear to maintain the sharpest possible appearance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your cotton shirt, we recommend following the machine washable instructions carefully. Washing at the specified temperature ensures that the cotton fibres are cleaned effectively without causing undue shrinkage or damaging the fabric's smooth poplin weave.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemicals, as these will degrade the natural cotton fibres over time, leading to premature wear and potentially fading any custom embroidery or print designs. When ironing, the easy-to-iron finish will respond best while the garment is slightly damp, allowing you to achieve a crisp finish with minimal effort.
