Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Long Sleeve with Cuff Rib is a sophisticated fusion of contemporary street style and practical daily workwear. Designed for those who require a modern silhouette without sacrificing comfort, this garment features a distinctive long cut that provides additional coverage and a relaxed, on-trend profile. Crafted from a high-quality single jersey fabric, it offers a smooth surface that serves as an ideal canvas for business branding. Whether used as a standalone piece or a reliable base layer, it delivers a professional appearance that stands up to the demands of a busy working day.
Key Features
- Long Cut Profile: The extended length offers a modern aesthetic while providing extra coverage when bending or reaching, ensuring you remain comfortable and professional throughout your shift.
- Ribbed Sleeve Cuffs: The wide ribbed cuffs provide a secure fit at the wrists, preventing sleeves from riding up and helping to retain warmth in cooler environments.
- Single Jersey Fabric: This medium-weight cotton construction provides a soft, breathable feel against the skin, making it suitable for all-day wear across various seasons.
- Twin Seam Detailing: Reinforced twin seams at the cuffs and hem increase the garment's structural integrity, ensuring it maintains its shape after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
- Set-in Sleeves: This design choice provides a more tailored and structured shoulder line compared to raglan styles, contributing to a sharper, more professional silhouette.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a focus on durability and tactile comfort, the BY091 is primarily constructed from 100% pure cotton. The single jersey knit provides a flexible, lightweight feel that allows for a full range of movement, which is essential for active roles. For those opting for the Heather Grey variant, a small addition of viscose is blended with the cotton to achieve the classic textured appearance while maintaining the fabric's integrity. The tagless design further enhances wearer comfort by eliminating the irritation often caused by traditional neck labels.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, tight weave of the single jersey fabric makes this long-sleeve top exceptionally well-suited for customisation. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a durable and high-end finish that conveys a sense of established professionalism. For larger, more vibrant promotional graphics, print methods such as silkscreen or flex printing are ideal, as the flat surface of the jersey ensures a crisp and even application.
Our expert team at MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques since 1976. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we ensure that every embroidered logo and printed design is executed with the precision your brand deserves.
Use Cases
This garment is an excellent choice for businesses in the creative, retail, or hospitality sectors looking for a modern alternative to the traditional polo shirt. Its relaxed yet tidy appearance also makes it suitable for event staff, delivery drivers, or as high-quality promotional merchandise for brand launches.

Practical Advice
The BY091 features a generous, long-cut fit. If you prefer a more traditional, snug fit for layering under heavy jackets, you may wish to consider one size smaller than your usual choice. However, for the intended street-style aesthetic, we recommend your standard size. The medium-weight fabric makes it a versatile piece that pairs effectively with work trousers or cargo shorts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your garment, we recommend a gentle machine wash at 30°C. Using a lower temperature prevents the cotton fibres from shrinking and ensures your custom branding remains sharp and vibrant for a longer period.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally will prevent unnecessary heat stress and distortion of the fabric.
When ironing, use a low temperature and ensure the garment is turned inside out. This is particularly important for protecting any printed or embroidered elements from direct heat, which can cause damage to the threads or the adhesive bond of the print.
