Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Orion Slim Fit Short Sleeve Pilot Shirt is a refined garment designed for professionals who require a sharp, crisp appearance throughout the working day. Constructed with a blend of polyester and cotton, this shirt offers a modern silhouette through its slim fit design, ensuring a tailored look that does not compromise on functionality. It is an essential component for those in aviation, security, or high-end corporate environments where first impressions are paramount.
Key Features
- Twin chest pockets with flaps provide secure storage for essential documentation while maintaining a balanced, symmetrical aesthetic.
- An integrated pen holder ensures that writing implements are always within reach, preventing delays during administrative tasks.
- Functional epaulettes allow for the attachment of rank slides or identification, adhering to professional uniform standards.
- The lightweight fabric ensures breathability and comfort during long shifts in controlled or warm environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Orion shirt stems from its carefully selected 65% polyester and 35% cotton fabric composition. This blend provides the best of both worlds: the durability and crease-resistance of polyester combined with the natural comfort of cotton. As a lightweight garment, it is exceptionally easy to wear for extended periods, resisting the fatigue often associated with heavier uniform shirts. The slim fit cut provides a streamlined appearance, reducing excess fabric and ensuring the wearer looks precise and professional at all times.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Orion shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your uniform with your corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a sophisticated, professional finish; it is ideal for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a textured, premium appearance. For larger, more vibrant graphic applications, our high-quality printing processes offer a bold alternative. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically tailored for those in the aviation industry, security personnel, and transport officials who require a traditional pilot-style uniform. Its clean lines and functional features also make it a popular choice for hospitality management and corporate teams seeking a uniform that conveys authority and reliability.

Practical Advice
Given the slim fit nature of the Orion shirt, we recommend reviewing our size guides carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders and chest. This short-sleeve version is ideal for layering under a tailored jacket or jumper during cooler months, or wearing as a standalone piece in warmer climates to maintain a professional standard without overheating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the crisp white finish of your Orion shirt, it is important to follow specific care protocols. We recommend a machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday grime and oils without stressing the polyester fibres or causing premature wear to the cotton components.
Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can weaken the fabric bonds over time and may lead to discolouration, especially around embroidered areas. Consistent, gentle care ensures that the garment retains its shape and professional appearance for its intended lifespan.
