Design & Performance
Constructed from a technical blend of recycled polyester, wool, and LYCRA® elastane, this skirt is engineered for longevity and comfort. The wool content provides a natural, breathable quality and a superior handle that is characteristic of premium office attire. By incorporating recycled polyester, the fabric gains significant durability and crease resistance, allowing the garment to maintain a sharp appearance even after a long shift. The addition of elastane ensures the fabric has a subtle stretch, providing 'recovery' so the skirt retains its shape and does not bag or sag over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Merchant A-line skirt is well-suited for professional customisation, allowing businesses to create a cohesive brand identity. Embroidery is the recommended choice for this fabric blend, providing a sophisticated, raised finish for company logos or names that complements the wool-rich texture. For larger, more vibrant branding requirements, our high-quality printing services are also available. Every customisation project is handled by our specialist in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976.
Use Cases
This skirt is an ideal choice for corporate office environments, hotel reception teams, and front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector. Its durable construction and professional finish make it suitable for any role where maintaining a polished image is a primary requirement. It is particularly effective for large teams requiring a uniform that is both stylish and easy to maintain.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, keep in mind that the LYCRA® content allows for a comfortable degree of stretch, making it a versatile choice for various body types. This skirt pairs excellently with a tailored blazer or a formal blouse to create a complete, professional ensemble that is suitable for all seasons.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment remains in peak condition, it is important to follow the machine-washable instructions provided. Regular laundering at the specified settings will help maintain the fabric's integrity and ensure the custom branding remains crisp and vibrant. We recommend washing the skirt with similar colours to prevent any dye transfer that could dull the appearance of the fabric.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive detergents, as these can break down the natural wool fibres and the elastane, leading to a loss of shape and premature wear. When drying, it is best to hang the skirt immediately to minimise creasing. If ironing is required, use a low temperature setting to protect the technical fibres and ensure the A-line shape remains sharp and well-defined.
