Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Vulcan Slim Fit Shirt is an essential component of a modern corporate uniform, designed for those who require a sharper, more contemporary silhouette without compromising on the rigours of daily wear. Crafted by one of the industry's most respected names in formal attire, this long-sleeved shirt offers a tailored aesthetic that remains crisp throughout a demanding working day. The balance of fabric and fit ensures that the wearer maintains a professional appearance from the first meeting to the final commute.
Key Features
- Modern Slim Fit: The tailored cut provides a sleek, professional appearance that fits closer to the body, eliminating excess fabric for a cleaner look under jackets or knitwear.
- Two-Button Adjustable Cuff: This detail allows for a precise fit around the wrist, ensuring the sleeves sit correctly and accommodate different watch styles or preferences.
- Durable Polycotton Blend: The combination of polyester and cotton ensures the garment is resilient and maintains its shape, even after frequent laundering.
- Ease of Maintenance: Engineered to be machine washable at 40 degrees, this shirt is designed for the busy professional who requires a quick turnaround between shifts.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 65% polyester and 35% cotton is a deliberate choice for high-performance workwear. This lightweight fabric offers the breathability and soft handle of cotton alongside the crease-resistant and hard-wearing properties of polyester. In a busy office or hospitality environment, this means the shirt stays looking fresh for longer and resists the typical wear and tear at the elbows and collar.
Performance is further enhanced by the quality of the construction. The stitching is designed to withstand the stresses of movement, while the slim fit ensures there is no unnecessary bulk when layering. This makes it an ideal choice for customer-facing roles where presentation is paramount.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, lightweight surface of the Vulcan shirt makes it an excellent canvas for customisation. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery. Adding a company logo or staff name to the chest or collar provides a high-quality, permanent branding solution that reinforces your corporate identity.
While embroidery is the standard for formal shirts, our Telford-based team can also apply precise print designs for larger, bolder branding requirements. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience ensuring that every stitch and every print is executed with the highest level of detail, ensuring your team represents your business with distinction.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house roles. Its modern fit also makes it a popular choice for sales teams and consultants who need to project a professional, contemporary image during client interactions.

Practical Advice
When selecting a slim-fit garment, we recommend checking your measurements carefully, as the cut is designed to be narrower through the waist and chest than a standard fit. For a complete professional look, pair this shirt with a tailored waistcoat or a corporate blazer. It also layers exceptionally well under medium-weight knitwear during colder months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional finish of your shirt, it is important to follow the recommended care path. Maintaining the garment correctly ensures that your embroidered branding remains vibrant and the fabric retains its crisp texture.
We recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime and perspiration while protecting the polyester fibres from heat damage, which can lead to premature wear or a loss of shape.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical agents, as these will degrade the strength of the polycotton blend and may cause discolouration to both the fabric and any custom embroidery. When drying, it is best to hang the shirt immediately after the wash cycle to reduce creasing, which simplifies the ironing process and keeps the shirt looking its best.
