Product Overview
The Front Row Long Sleeve Breton Striped T-shirt offers a sophisticated twist on the classic maritime aesthetic, engineered specifically for the demands of a professional environment. Unlike standard lightweight shirts, this garment is constructed from a substantial, heavyweight single jersey cotton that provides a more structured silhouette and increased longevity. The design features a thoughtful contrast: a striped lower body and sleeves paired with a plain upper chest and arm panel. This plain section is intentionally designed to provide a clear, unobstructed canvas for corporate branding, ensuring your logo remains the focal point without competing against the pattern.
Key Features
- Heavyweight Single Jersey Cotton: The 100% cotton fabric offers a premium, substantial feel that is far more durable than standard retail alternatives, making it suitable for regular workplace wear.
- Stretch Ribbed Neckline: The inclusion of a ribbed neck with stretch allows the garment to be put on and taken off repeatedly without the collar losing its shape or becoming loose over time.
- Flatlock and Twin-needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the neck, shoulders, armholes, and hem ensures the seams can withstand the physical rigours of a busy workday without fraying.
- Tag-free Branding: The absence of a traditional neck label prevents irritation during long shifts and allows for easy internal rebranding if required.
- Contrast Upper Panel: Specifically designed to facilitate high-quality decoration, this plain panel ensures your company branding is displayed clearly against a solid background.
Design & Performance
Performance in workwear is often determined by the details of construction. This Breton t-shirt utilises flatlock stitching across the neck and shoulder seams, which provides a flatter, more comfortable interior finish that reduces chafing. The choice of 100% cotton single jersey ensures the garment is breathable and soft against the skin, while the heavyweight nature of the fabric ensures it holds its form throughout the day. It is a regular fit garment, providing enough room for movement without appearing oversized, maintaining a sharp, professional appearance for staff in customer-facing roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The unique design of the FR134 makes it exceptionally versatile for customisation. The plain upper chest panel is the ideal location for embroidery; our high-density stitching creates a crisp, professional finish that stands out against the solid fabric. This is particularly recommended for company logos or staff names where a sophisticated, long-lasting appearance is required.
For larger promotional designs or bold branding, the fabric also accepts high-quality screen or transfer printing. Our Telford-based production team, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, ensures that every application is handled with technical precision, ensuring your branding remains intact even after repeated laundering.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for the hospitality and retail sectors, where a distinctive yet professional uniform is essential. It provides a more stylish alternative to a standard polo shirt while remaining practical. It is also an excellent choice for boutique brands or events teams looking for a premium, heritage-inspired aesthetic that doesn't compromise on durability.

Practical Advice
With a size range from XS to 2XL, this t-shirt is designed to fit a wide variety of body types in a standard regular fit. For those working in cooler environments, the heavyweight cotton makes it an excellent layering piece under a gilet or jacket. When selecting your size, we recommend referring to the specific chest measurements to ensure the most professional fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of this heavyweight cotton garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing dark colours separately is essential to prevent dye transfer onto the white stripes, which would otherwise dull the crisp appearance of the shirt.
Avoid using bleach, as this will break down the cotton fibres and damage the integrity of both the fabric and your custom branding. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting to prevent excessive shrinkage. We advise reshaping the garment while it is still damp to help it maintain its original fit.
When ironing, use a medium heat (two-dot) setting and always iron on the reverse of any print or embroidery. Direct heat on decoration can cause transfers to peel or embroidery threads to melt, potentially ruining the professional finish of your uniform. For the best results, dry the garment out of direct sunlight to prevent the navy tones from fading over time.
