Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Original long sleeve T-shirt is a fundamental component for any business seeking a consistent and professional uniform. This garment offers a versatile solution for year-round wear, providing a lightweight layer that balances comfort with a clean aesthetic. Its construction is specifically engineered to serve as a reliable canvas for company branding, ensuring your team looks unified regardless of the task at hand.
Key Features
- Rib crew neck: The ribbed collar ensures the neckline maintains its shape and professional appearance, even after frequent wear and laundering.
- Self-fabric back neck tape: This internal taping provides additional reinforcement to the shoulder seams and prevents irritation against the skin, enhancing the overall longevity of the T-shirt.
- Fine knit gauge: A smoother surface is achieved through a fine knit, which is critical for achieving high-definition results during the customisation process.
- Extended size range: Available from small up to 5XL, this range ensures inclusivity for your entire workforce without compromising on brand consistency.
Design & Performance
Crafted primarily from 100% cotton, this long-sleeve T-shirt is breathable and soft against the skin, making it an ideal choice for active work environments. The lightweight fabric allows for excellent mobility and can be easily layered under jackets or sweatshirts during colder months. The Heather Grey variant includes a small percentage of polyester to provide a subtle textured finish while maintaining the garment's essential performance characteristics.
The construction prioritises durability without excessive bulk. By using a fine knit gauge, the fabric offers a flatter surface that is less prone to pilling and provides a more stable foundation for your company's identity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This T-shirt is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for a tailored approach to your branding. For a sophisticated and enduring appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest. The fine knit gauge provides the stability required for intricate needlework, ensuring your logo stays sharp.
If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging on the back or sleeves, our high-quality printing processes are the ideal choice. The smooth surface of the lightweight cotton ensures that ink adheres uniformly, resulting in sharp, clear designs. Our expert team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your workwear meets the highest standards of professional presentation.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve T-shirt is an excellent choice for indoor staff, event teams, or as a base layer for outdoor tradespeople. Its clean lines and professional finish make it suitable for retail environments, delivery personnel, or as promotional apparel for trade shows. The extended size range makes it a practical solution for large, diverse teams who require a unified look.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, please refer to our sizing guide which covers chests from 35 inches to 58 inches. If your team often works in varied temperatures, these T-shirts serve as an excellent base layer that can be comfortably worn under more substantial outerwear without restricting movement.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your garment and the vibrancy of your customisation, we recommend a standard domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to premature fabric wear and may affect the integrity of printed designs.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the fabric and your embroidered logos. A standard tumble dry setting is suitable for this garment, though we suggest removing it promptly to minimise creasing and maintain its shape.
When ironing, please take care to avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent heat damage to the design. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemical solvents used in that process can degrade the finish of the fabric and any applied customisation.
