Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Iconic 195 premium t-shirt is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require more from their workwear than a standard promotional item. Crafted from 100% combed ringspun cotton, this t-shirt offers a superior level of comfort and a refined finish. It is a substantial, sturdy garment that has been built to withstand the rigours of a busy working day while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance. With its ability to perform at higher washing temperatures, it provides a practical solution for businesses where hygiene and cleanliness are paramount.
Key Features
- 100% Combed Ringspun Cotton: The combing process removes shorter fibres, resulting in a smoother, stronger yarn that feels exceptionally soft against the skin and provides a superior surface for branding.
- Shoulder-to-Shoulder Taping: This self-fabric reinforcement ensures the garment maintains its structural integrity and shape, preventing the shoulders from sagging over time.
- Cotton/Lycra Blend Crew Neck: The addition of Lycra to the ribbed collar ensures it retains its elasticity, preventing the neckline from becoming loose or misshapen after repeated wear.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Used on the neck and seams, this double-stitched finish provides essential reinforcement to high-stress areas, ensuring the garment does not fail during active tasks.
- 60°C Wash Performance: Specifically engineered to withstand higher temperature domestic laundering, making it easier to remove stubborn stains and maintain workplace hygiene.
Design & Performance
The design focus of the Iconic 195 is durability without compromising on the wearer's experience. The use of combed ringspun cotton is a deliberate choice; it produces a fabric that is significantly more robust than open-end cotton alternatives. This results in a sturdy, premium-weight t-shirt that offers a more structured silhouette. Because the fabric is smoother, it resists pilling and stays looking newer for longer, even in demanding environments. The tailored fit ensures it looks professional when worn as a standalone piece or layered under other workwear items.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This substantial t-shirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery, thanks to the high-quality surface of the combed cotton. For a formal and enduring look, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names. The weight of the fabric provides a stable foundation that supports high-density stitching without pulling or puckering. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or promotional graphics, our printing processes offer vibrant, sharp results. All customisation is handled at our Telford facility by our expert team, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for professional environments such as hospitality, retail, and light industry. Its robust nature makes it a reliable choice for tradespeople who need a t-shirt that can survive a building site, while its refined finish is smart enough for customer-facing roles. The high-temperature wash capability also makes it a popular choice for those working in environments where grease or heavy soiling is a factor.

Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of this premium garment, we recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This temperature is effective for removing deep-seated grime and bacteria, helping to maintain a professional level of cleanliness and ensuring your custom branding remains clear and vibrant.
You should avoid the use of bleach. Bleaching agents will compromise the cotton fibres, leading to premature thinning of the fabric and causing significant damage or fading to your embroidered or printed logos.
When drying, use a low-heat tumble setting. Excessive heat in the dryer can cause the ringspun cotton to shrink and can also cause printed designs to crack or peel over time. For the best results, air drying is often the safest method for keeping the garment in prime condition.
A medium iron is suitable for this fabric to maintain a crisp appearance. We strongly advise ironing the t-shirt inside out to prevent direct heat from damaging any customisation. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the industrial chemicals involved can be too aggressive for the fabric and its branding.
