Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic 150 Classic Long Sleeve T-shirt is a versatile and refined garment designed for those who require more coverage than a standard short-sleeve option. Constructed from lightweight fabric, it serves as an excellent standalone piece for milder conditions or as a reliable base layer beneath a sweatshirt or work shirt. The classic fit ensures a professional yet relaxed appearance, making it a staple for diverse working environments where comfort and range of motion are essential.
Key Features
- 100% Combed Ringspun Cotton: This material choice provides a superior soft-hand feel against the skin, ensuring comfort during long shifts while offering a high-quality surface for customisation.
- Narrow Crew Neck with 1x1 Rib: The refined neckline offers a modern look and maintains its shape over time, preventing the collar from sagging after repeated wear.
- Self-Fabric Back Neck Tape: This internal reinforcement provides additional comfort across the shoulders and neck, reducing irritation and extending the garment's lifespan.
- Tear-Away Back Neck Label: This feature allows for easy removal of the manufacturer’s tag, which is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or for businesses looking to rebrand the garments.
- Expansive Size Range: Available from Small up to 5XL, ensuring that all members of your workforce can be outfitted in matching, professional attire.
Design & Performance
The engineering of this t-shirt focuses on the balance between breathability and durability. By using combed ringspun cotton, the fabric is smoother and stronger than standard carded cotton. This process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a finer yarn that feels premium to the touch. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it ideal for indoor work or physically demanding tasks where heat regulation is necessary. Despite its lighter weight, the tight knit provides a stable foundation for the garment's structure, ensuring it performs reliably day after day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor your team's look to your specific brand requirements. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a traditional, authoritative appearance, such as small company logos on the chest or staff names. The stable cotton weave supports the stitching without puckering, provided the design is well-executed.
For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, print is an excellent alternative. The smooth, combed surface of the ringspun cotton allows for crisp ink adhesion and fine detail. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team leverages decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional standard your business demands.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is an ideal choice for customer-facing roles in the retail or hospitality sectors where a clean, uniform look is required. It is equally functional for tradespeople working in temperature-controlled environments or as a comfortable layer for delivery drivers. Given its wide size range, it is also a popular choice for corporate events or large-scale staff uniforms where inclusivity is a priority.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please refer to the chest measurements provided to ensure a correct fit. As this is a classic fit t-shirt, it offers a more generous cut than 'slim-fit' alternatives. If you intend to wear this as a primary base layer beneath tight-fitting outerwear, you may wish to consider how the long sleeves will sit beneath your outer garment to ensure maximum comfort.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the cotton fibres and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to premature fabric wear and may affect the adhesion of printed designs over time.
This garment is suitable for tumble drying, though we advise using a low heat setting to prevent any potential shrinkage. Exposure to excessive heat can cause the natural cotton fibres to contract, which may alter the fit of the t-shirt. For the best results and to prolong the life of your embroidery or print, it is often beneficial to iron the garment on the reverse side.
