Design & Performance
The performance of the Rapino shirt lies in its sophisticated material composition. The lightweight fabric is specifically chosen for its durability and skin-friendly texture. By utilising a cotton-rich blend, the garment allows for efficient moisture management, keeping the wearer cool during long shifts. The inclusion of polyester ensures the shirt retains its shape and colour after repeated laundering, preventing the premature wear often seen in 100% natural fibre garments. This is a shirt designed not just for aesthetics, but for the practical demands of a busy workplace.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Rapino shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this garment; a precision-stitched logo on the chest or collar provides a sophisticated, permanent finish that conveys authority and attention to detail. For larger, more vibrant promotional branding, our high-quality printing processes ensure a sharp, clear result. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality front-of-house roles, and retail management. Its ability to coordinate with other garments in the Brook Taverner collection makes it a primary choice for larger organisations requiring a unified and professional aesthetic across different departments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the classic fit's generous proportions, which are designed to allow for comfortable movement. This shirt layers exceptionally well under waistcoats or blazers, and the single cuff design ensures it remains unobtrusive under knitwear during colder months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the shirt and the vibrancy of any custom branding, we recommend following the machine washable instructions provided. Consistent washing at the appropriate temperature ensures that dirt and oils are removed without damaging the fabric fibres.
Utilising the easy-iron properties effectively requires ironing while the garment is slightly damp. This technique helps the fibres settle into a crisp, flat position, ensuring your professional silhouette is maintained with minimal effort. Avoid high-heat drying where possible to extend the life of the cotton-rich blend.
