Design & Performance
The Portland Shirt is engineered from a high-quality blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. This specific composition is chosen for its performance characteristics; the cotton provides natural breathability and comfort against the skin, while the polyester adds essential durability and crease resistance. This ensures the shirt remains looking crisp from the start of a shift to the end.
The fabric features a "peach finish," a technical treatment that gives the material a soft, brushed texture. This not only enhances the wearer's comfort but also gives the shirt a superior tactile quality that reflects its high-end construction.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a traditional, professional look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses high-quality threads to ensure logos and names are rendered with precision and durability, surviving many wash cycles without losing their definition.
For larger, more graphic designs, print provides a bold and clear finish. Regardless of the method chosen, all customisation is handled in-house by our expert team, drawing on decades of experience since our establishment in 1976 to ensure your branding is executed to the highest standard.
Use Cases
Given its business-casual styling, the Portland Shirt is perfectly suited for hospitality front-of-house staff, retail management, and corporate office environments. Its short-sleeve design makes it an excellent choice for indoor environments where temperature control is a factor, or for outdoor work during the warmer months.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored fit garment, it is designed to be more fitted than a standard-cut shirt. We recommend reviewing our size guides to ensure the best fit for your team. The short-sleeve design is particularly effective when paired with smart chinos or tailored trousers for a complete, cohesive uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-quality peach finish and the structural integrity of the shirt, please follow the machine washable instructions provided. Regular laundering at the recommended settings will help keep the fabric soft and prevent the build-up of grime that can degrade fibres over time.
Proper care of your garment ensures that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and intact. Avoiding harsh chemical treatments and following standard drying procedures will extend the life of the shirt, providing better value for your business and ensuring your staff always look their best.
