Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic 195 long sleeve t-shirt is a substantial, premium garment designed for those who require more coverage than a standard short-sleeved option without sacrificing breathability. Constructed from high-quality combed ringspun cotton, this t-shirt offers a refined, smooth surface that feels soft against the skin while remaining sturdy enough for daily professional use. Whether worn as a standalone outer layer or as a comfortable base layer beneath a sweatshirt or jacket, its classic fit ensures a versatile and professional appearance.
Key Features
- 100% Combed Ringspun Cotton: This premium fabric undergoes a combing process to remove short fibres, resulting in a smoother, stronger, and more comfortable material that resists pilling.
- Cotton/LYCRA Rib Crew Neck: The inclusion of LYCRA in the collar ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity, even after repeated wears and washes.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching on the neck provides enhanced durability at a common point of stress.
- Shoulder-to-Shoulder Taping: Self-fabric taping across the shoulders improves the garment's structural integrity and prevents stretching or sagging over time.
Design & Performance
Engineered for performance, this heavier-weight t-shirt is built to withstand the rigours of a busy working environment. The use of combed ringspun cotton is a deliberate choice; it provides a superior canvas for branding while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout a long shift. The classic fit is designed to be practical, allowing for a full range of movement without being overly restrictive. Furthermore, the garment is designed to perform at higher temperature washes, making it an excellent choice for sectors where hygiene and cleanliness are paramount.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor it to your specific brand requirements. For a professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names, as the dense weave of the combed cotton provides a stable foundation for intricate needlework. Alternatively, for large, bold promotional graphics, our high-quality printing processes produce vibrant results that stand out. Our in-house team in Telford, which has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensures every application is handled with expert precision.
Use Cases
Given its substantial weight and professional finish, this long-sleeved t-shirt is ideal for the hospitality industry, retail environments, or as part of a layered uniform for outdoor trades. Its extensive size range, reaching up to 5XL in certain colours, makes it a reliable choice for outfitting a diverse workforce. It is equally at home in a customer-facing role as it is in a warehouse setting.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt features a classic fit, which provides a more traditional silhouette. If you intend to use this as a base layer for cold-weather work, ensure you select a size that allows for comfort under heavier outer garments. For those in more active roles, the long sleeves provide additional protection against the elements and minor abrasions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your garment, we recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This higher temperature is particularly effective at removing stubborn work-related stains and ensuring the garment remains hygienic without damaging the combed cotton fibres.
It is important to avoid using bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and lead to premature wear or discolouration of your custom branding. For drying, a low tumble dry setting is advised to minimise shrinkage and preserve the fit of the t-shirt.
When ironing, use a medium heat setting. This will remove any creases from the ringspun fabric without the risk of scorching. Please avoid dry cleaning, as the chemical processes involved are unnecessary for this high-quality cotton and may affect the longevity of any applied prints or embroidery.
