Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Roccella Classic Fit Shirt represents a standard in professional corporate attire, combining a traditional silhouette with modern textile performance. This short-sleeved garment is specifically engineered for professionals who require a sharp, crisp appearance without the burden of high-maintenance fabric care. Featuring a refined white and grey stripe pattern, it provides a subtle visual texture that elevates a standard office uniform into something far more distinguished.
Key Features
- Classic Fit: Provides a generous cut through the chest and waist, ensuring comfort and ease of movement for all-day wear in a busy office or hospitality environment.
- Cotton-Rich Fabric: The 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend balances the natural breathability of cotton with the structural integrity and durability of synthetic fibres.
- Easy-Iron Finish: Specifically treated to resist deep creasing, allowing for a professional look even after a full day of activity and reducing time spent on domestic maintenance.
- Short Sleeve Design: Ideal for maintaining a professional appearance in warmer environments or for roles that require a greater range of arm movement.
- Machine Washable: Designed for frequent laundering, ensuring the garment retains its shape and colour through rigorous commercial or domestic wash cycles.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Roccella shirt is rooted in its specific fabric composition. By utilizing a cotton-rich blend, the shirt offers the moisture-wicking properties and soft hand-feel of a natural fibre, which is essential for comfort during long shifts. The inclusion of high-grade polyester provides the necessary tensile strength to prevent the shirt from losing its shape over time.
This lightweight business fabric is robust enough to withstand the friction of daily wear against office furniture or outer layers, yet remains thin enough to ensure the wearer stays cool. The white and grey stripe is woven with precision, ensuring that the pattern remains clear and does not fade prematurely, maintaining the professional integrity of your brand's image.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Roccella shirt is a superb canvas for customisation, whether you require subtle corporate branding or more prominent logos. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this garment; our high-precision machinery can apply intricate logos to the collar or chest, providing a three-dimensional, high-quality finish that signifies authority and professionalism.
For organisations looking for a bolder visual impact, screen or heat-transfer printing is also available. While embroidery is the classic choice for business shirts, modern printing techniques allow for crisp, vibrant designs that can be positioned on the back or sleeves. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is an ideal selection for customer-facing roles where first impressions are paramount. It is perfectly suited for hotel reception staff, corporate office teams, and professional retail environments. Because it matches the Rufina shirt and the Perano and Pescara blouses, it allows for a cohesive, unified look across a diverse workforce, regardless of individual style preferences.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the classic fit's more traditional, relaxed proportions. If you are frequently moving between a temperature-controlled office and the outdoors, this shirt layers exceptionally well under a tailored blazer or a lightweight knit. For a complete corporate identity, we recommend pairing this with other items from the Brook Taverner collection to ensure fabric and colour consistency across your entire team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the crisp stripe of your Roccella shirt, it is vital to follow the machine washing instructions. Regular laundering at the recommended temperature helps remove oils and perspiration that can break down fabric fibres over time, ensuring your shirt remains a staple of your wardrobe for longer.
We advise against the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the polyester fibres and cause the grey stripes to lose their definition. When drying, it is best to hang the shirt immediately after the wash cycle; the easy-iron properties work best when the garment is allowed to dry naturally, significantly reducing the effort required to achieve a smooth, professional finish with a standard iron.
