Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Columbia Performance Polo is a refined choice for businesses seeking a balance between sustainability and a sharp, professional appearance. Unlike standard, boxy polo shirts, this garment features a tailored fit that provides a modern silhouette suitable for both corporate environments and active work roles. Constructed from 100% recycled polyester, it reflects a commitment to environmentally conscious workwear without sacrificing the technical benefits of performance fabrics.
Key Features
- Tailored Fit: Offers a more contoured shape through the torso, ensuring a professional and contemporary appearance that avoids excess fabric.
- 3-Button Placket: A classic design element that allows for adjustable ventilation and a smart finish at the neckline.
- Side Splits: Integrated at the hem to allow for a greater range of movement and a cleaner drape when worn over trousers.
- Sustainable Fabric: Made from 100% recycled polyester, providing a durable and quick-drying solution for demanding workdays.
Design & Performance
The performance-weight fabric of the Columbia polo is engineered for comfort during extended shifts. The use of recycled polyester ensures the garment is resilient, maintaining its shape and colour after repeated use. This synthetic composition is particularly effective at managing moisture, making it an excellent choice for staff who are frequently on the move or working in environments where breathability is essential. The short-sleeve design and side splits work in tandem to ensure the wearer remains comfortable and unrestricted throughout the day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt serves as an excellent canvas for your company branding. For a refined professional appearance, we recommend our high-quality embroidery service, which is ideal for recreating corporate logos and individual staff names with precision and depth. The structured placket and tailored fabric provide a stable base for detailed stitch work.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics, our heat transfer and printing methods are equally effective on this smooth polyester surface. Our experienced in-house team at our Telford facility has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We manage every stage of the customisation process to ensure that your branding is applied with the care and technical expertise your business deserves.
Use Cases
The Columbia Performance Polo is versatile enough for a wide range of industries. It is particularly well-suited for front-of-house staff in hospitality, corporate event teams, and technical specialists who require a garment that looks smart but performs like activewear. Its tailored fit also makes it a popular choice for sales teams and management who need to maintain a professional standard while on-site or during client meetings.

Practical Advice
Because this garment features a tailored fit, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a traditional 'relaxed' polo shirt. If you prefer a looser feel or are between sizes, you may wish to consider selecting the larger size. For a complete uniform solution, this polo layers effectively under lightweight softshell jackets or formal blazers without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance characteristics and professional finish of your polo shirt, it is essential to follow the machine-washing instructions. Regular washing at recommended temperatures ensures that the synthetic fibres remain free of oils and salts that can degrade the fabric over time.
Avoiding harsh chemicals and adhering to standard washing cycles will help preserve the integrity of any applied embroidery or print. Proper care ensures that the tailored silhouette and fabric vibrancy remain intact, providing a longer service life for your professional wardrobe.
