Product Overview
The Build Your Brand Raglan Contrast Tee is a sophisticated take on the classic streetwear silhouette, engineered specifically for those who require a canvas for high-quality branding. This garment features a classic raglan construction, where the sleeves extend in one piece to the collar, creating a distinctive diagonal seam from the underarm to the neckline. This design not only provides a sport-inspired aesthetic but also allows for a greater range of movement in the shoulder area compared to standard set-in sleeves. Constructed from a lightweight single jersey fabric, this T-shirt is designed to feel soft against the skin while maintaining a modern, close-to-body fit that is perfect for warmer environments or layered looks.
Key Features
- Contrast Raglan Sleeves: These emphasize the shoulder area and provide a visual accent that frames your custom branding effectively.
- Double-Seamed Hems: The inclusion of double stitching at the hem ensures the garment maintains its shape and structural integrity through repeated wear and laundering.
- Tear-Out Tag: An essential feature for businesses looking to rebrand, allowing for easy removal and replacement with bespoke neck labels.
- Ribbed Neck Opening: Finished with a rib cuff and internal neck tape, this feature ensures comfort and prevents the neckline from stretching or losing its form over time.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt is rooted in its material composition. The majority of colourways are crafted from 100% fine cotton, offering maximum breathability and a smooth surface that is ideal for detailed decoration. For those selecting the Charcoal option, a blend of cotton and polyester jersey provides additional resilience and a subtle textured finish. Despite its lightweight nature, the fine-knit construction ensures the fabric remains durable and professional in appearance, avoiding the flimsiness often associated with thinner garments. The tailored fit ensures it remains smart enough for customer-facing roles while providing the comfort required for a full day of activity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment has been specifically designed with customisation in mind. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team leverages decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision. For this lightweight jersey, print is an excellent choice for large, bold designs on the chest or back, as the ink integrates smoothly with the fine cotton weave. If you require a more traditional professional appearance, embroidery is highly effective for chest logos. We use specialist backings to ensure that embroidery remains stable on this lighter fabric, maintaining the garment's drape while showcasing your logo in high-definition thread.
Use Cases
The Raglan Contrast Tee is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is particularly well-suited for retail environments, promotional events, and the creative industries where a more casual, streetwear-inspired look is preferred over a standard polo shirt. Its broad size range, extending up to 5XL, makes it an inclusive option for larger teams or merchandise lines. It is an ideal summer uniform piece or an effective layer under a zip-up hoodie during transitional seasons.

Practical Advice
This T-shirt is designed to stay close to the body for a contemporary look. If your team prefers a more relaxed or traditional fit, we recommend consulting our size guide and potentially opting for one size larger than usual. Given the lightweight nature of the fabric, it pairs exceptionally well with lightweight softshell jackets or gilets for a cohesive corporate identity.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of this garment, we recommend a mild machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may lead to premature fibre degradation and can affect the adhesive properties of printed designs.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. To prevent shrinkage and ensure the garment retains its shape, do not tumble dry; instead, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
When ironing, use a low temperature setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas. Applying high heat directly to custom branding can cause the design to warp or melt. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemical processes involved can be too aggressive for the fine jersey knit and the branding applications.
