Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Volterra Tailored Fit Shirt is a modern interpretation of the classic work shirt, designed for professionals who require a sharp aesthetic without the formality of a traditional collar. Featuring a contemporary grandad collar, this garment offers a clean, minimalist neckline that looks exceptional when worn alone or under a waistcoat. The tailored fit ensures a streamlined silhouette, removing the excess fabric often found in standard cuts to provide a more polished and professional appearance for your team.
Key Features
Grandad Collar: Provides a modern, tie-free look that maintains a high level of professionalism in contemporary business environments.
Tailored Fit: Carefully cut to follow the contours of the body, providing a sharp profile that avoids a bulky or untidy appearance.
Stretch Cotton Blend: The integration of elastane into the weave allows the fabric to move with the wearer, ensuring comfort throughout long shifts.
Long Sleeve with Single Cuff: A traditional finish that offers versatility and ensures the shirt remains practical for year-round use.
Design & Performance
Engineered for the rigours of the modern workplace, the Volterra shirt is constructed from a balanced blend of 57% polyester, 39% cotton, and 4% elastane. This lightweight fabric is specifically chosen for its performance characteristics; the polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, ensuring the shirt looks fresh from the start of the day until the end. The cotton content offers natural breathability and a soft feel against the skin, while the elastane provides the necessary flex for active roles.
The fabric's stretch properties are particularly beneficial for staff who are constantly on the move, as it prevents the 'pulling' often associated with rigid cotton shirts. This combination of materials results in a garment that is as functional as it is stylish.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth finish of the Volterra shirt makes it an ideal canvas for branding. For a truly professional and 'proper' look, we highly recommend embroidery. A company logo positioned on the chest or a subtle name on the cuff elevates the garment, aligning perfectly with the shirt's sophisticated design. If your branding requires a larger, more impactful visual, our high-quality printing techniques ensure a crisp, durable finish even on the stretch-blend fabric.
All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility by a team with expertise dating back to 1976. We take immense pride in ensuring that your branding is applied with precision, reflecting the quality of your own business.
Use Cases
This shirt is a premier choice for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, boutique retail environments, and modern corporate offices. It is particularly suited for roles where a tie is not required, but a high standard of dress is non-negotiable. Its tailored fit and stretch comfort also make it suitable for managers and supervisors who need to maintain a professional edge while remaining mobile.

Practical Advice
Because this shirt features a tailored fit, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a standard fit shirt. When ordering for a team, we recommend reviewing the sizing carefully to ensure a comfortable fit, particularly across the chest and shoulders. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it perfect for layering under a jacket without causing overheating or restricted movement.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment maintains its shape and professional finish, it is fully machine washable. Regular laundering at the correct settings is essential to preserve the integrity of the elastane fibres, which provide the shirt's characteristic stretch. Failing to follow the washing instructions may lead to the fabric losing its recovery properties over time.
We recommend a gentle cycle to protect any custom embroidery or print from unnecessary abrasion. Once washed, reshaping the shirt while damp and hanging it to air dry will help maintain the tailored silhouette and minimise the need for intensive ironing, which can eventually degrade the synthetic fibres in the blend.
