Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic 150 T-shirt represents a shift towards a more contemporary, tailored approach to essential workwear. While many traditional shirts prioritise bulk over shape, this garment offers a slim fashion fit that provides a modern silhouette without sacrificing the comfort required for a full day's work. Crafted from combed ringspun cotton, it offers a superior softness that makes it a popular choice for businesses looking to elevate their brand image through a more refined aesthetic.
Key Features
Combed ringspun cotton: The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a smoother, stronger fabric that feels significantly softer against the skin than standard cotton.
Slim fashion fit: This modern cut provides a more streamlined appearance, making it ideal for client-facing roles or businesses wanting a current, professional appearance.
Tear-away back neck label: A practical addition for those looking to rebrand or for individuals who find traditional labels irritating; it can be removed cleanly without damaging the seam.
1x1 rib crew neck: The inclusion of a ribbed collar helps the neckline retain its shape and elasticity, even after repeated wears and washes.
Design & Performance
The performance of a t-shirt is often dictated by its construction. By using combed ringspun cotton, Fruit of the Loom has created a fabric surface that is exceptionally smooth, which is not only comfortable for the wearer but also provides an ideal canvas for customisation. The self-fabric back neck tape reinforces the area that experiences the most stress, ensuring the garment remains structurally sound and comfortable throughout the working day. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it highly breathable, preventing overheating during active shifts while remaining durable enough for daily use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This T-shirt is highly versatile when it comes to branding. For those seeking a classic, professional appearance, embroidery is particularly effective on this combed cotton surface. It is well-suited for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a textured, premium finish that conveys authority.
Alternatively, the smooth jersey knit makes it an excellent candidate for printing. This is the preferred method for larger, more intricate designs or bold company slogans on the back. Since 1976, our expert team in Telford has been refining these processes, ensuring that whether you choose print or embroidery, your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
Given its modern fit and soft finish, the Iconic 150 T is perfectly suited for retail environments, promotional events, or the hospitality sector where a polished appearance is paramount. It is equally effective as a base layer for tradespeople working in warmer conditions or indoors. The broad size range up to 5XL ensures that entire teams can be outfitted in a uniform look regardless of their size requirements.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a slim fashion fit, we recommend consulting our size guide carefully. If you prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, you may wish to consider ordering one size larger than your usual measurement. This T-shirt works exceptionally well as a standalone piece in the summer or as a soft, non-bulky layer under a sweatshirt or fleece when the temperature drops.
Caring for your product
To ensure your T-shirt maintains its shape and your branding remains sharp, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and sweat without causing excessive wear to the cotton fibres or the customisation.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will strip the colour from the fabric and weaken the cotton, leading to premature holes and fading. If using a tumble dryer, select a low temperature setting; high heat can cause the natural cotton fibres to shrink and may damage printed designs.
When ironing, use a medium temperature. If the garment is printed, always iron on the reverse side to prevent the heat from melting or distorting the design. Finally, this item should not be dry cleaned, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can degrade both the fabric and the adhesive used in certain branding methods.
