Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Ortona Classic Fit Non-Iron Shirt is an essential garment for professionals who require a sharp, crisp appearance without the daily chore of ironing. As part of Brook Taverner's premium cotton collection, this shirt is engineered to withstand the rigours of a busy working day while maintaining its structural integrity. The classic fit ensures comfort and ease of movement, making it a reliable choice for long shifts in corporate or hospitality environments.
Key Features
- 100% Non-Iron Cotton Twill: The high-quality cotton fabric has been specifically treated to resist creasing, allowing you to move straight from the laundry to the workplace with minimal effort.
- Classic Fit Construction: Designed with a traditional cut, this shirt provides a generous fit through the chest and waist, ensuring comfort for a wide range of body types.
- Single Cuff Detail: The single cuff provides a neat, professional finish at the wrist, suitable for both formal and semi-formal settings.
- Durable Twill Weave: The twill construction offers a subtle texture and superior durability compared to standard plain weaves, ensuring the garment lasts longer in a professional rotation.
Design & Performance
This shirt is manufactured from a lightweight but substantial cotton twill that offers excellent breathability and a soft hand-feel. The non-iron technology is embedded within the fibres, meaning the shirt remains remarkably smooth even after hours of wear. Unlike lower-quality alternatives, the Ortona maintains its bright white finish and crisp collar shape, ensuring you look as professional at the end of the day as you did at the start.
The twill weave is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides a more robust fabric structure. This means the shirt is less prone to thinning at the elbows or collar edges, providing better value for money through an extended garment lifespan.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this calibre, we highly recommend embroidery to achieve a superior professional appearance. Our in-house team in Telford uses high-precision machinery to apply your company logo or staff names, typically on the left chest or collar, which adds a level of authority to your corporate uniform.
While embroidery is the traditional choice for shirting, high-definition print is also an option for those looking to display larger, more vibrant branding on the back of the shirt. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques, ensuring that your branding is applied with the same attention to detail that went into the manufacturing of the shirt itself.
Use Cases
The Ortona shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, legal and financial services, or premium hospitality roles where a polished appearance is mandatory. It is equally effective for sales representatives who spend a lot of time travelling, as the non-iron fabric resists the creasing typically caused by car seatbelts and long commutes.

Practical Advice
The classic fit is generous; if you prefer a very tight, modern silhouette, you may wish to consider a tailored or slim-fit alternative. However, for most professional applications where comfort and a traditional look are required, this classic fit is the industry standard. This shirt layers exceptionally well under a suit jacket or a v-neck jumper during colder months without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the non-iron finish, we recommend washing the shirt at 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can gradually break down the non-iron treatment and damage the natural cotton fibres, leading to a loss of the garment's crisp finish.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these will weaken the twill weave and cause the white fabric to yellow over time. When drying, we suggest hanging the shirt immediately after the wash cycle finishes; the weight of the water helps to pull out any minor remaining creases, making the most of the non-iron technology.
If you must iron the garment, use a low heat setting. High heat can 'scorch' the non-iron treatment, which may result in a shiny residue on the surface of the fabric. Proper care will ensure your custom embroidery remains vibrant and the shirt stays in your professional rotation for as long as possible.
