Product Overview
Fruit of the Loom's Original T is a foundational garment in the world of promotional workwear, specifically engineered to provide a reliable and consistent surface for customisation. This lightweight t-shirt is designed with a classic fit that balances comfort with a clean, professional appearance. By focusing on a fine knit gauge, the manufacturer has created a fabric that is particularly well-suited for high-definition decoration, making it a preferred choice for businesses requiring high-volume uniform solutions for events or internal promotions.
Key Features
Rib crew neck with self-fabric back neck tape: The integrated neck tape covers the seam to prevent irritation and ensures the collar retains its shape after multiple wears.
Fine knit gauge: The tight weave of the fabric provides a smoother surface, which is essential for ensuring that printed logos do not suffer from pitting or uneven ink distribution.
Twin-needle stitching on neck, sleeves, and hem: This double-stitched reinforcement significantly improves the durability of the garment's edges, preventing the seams from fraying under regular use.
Extensive size range: Available from Small to 5XL, ensuring a consistent brand image across your entire workforce, regardless of individual requirements.
Design & Performance
Constructed primarily from 100% cotton, this t-shirt is designed for breathability and a soft handle. The lightweight fabric makes it an excellent choice for indoor environments or as a base layer under sweatshirts and jackets during colder months. For those selecting the Heather Grey option, a small inclusion of polyester is blended with the cotton to achieve the traditional textured aesthetic while maintaining the garment's structural stability. The classic fit ensures ease of movement, which is a practical necessity for active staff during promotional events or light duties.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team leverages decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision. For the Original T, we recommend print for large-scale, bold designs where maximum visual impact is required. The fine knit gauge of this garment allows for a superior finish with screen or vinyl printing. For a more formal, permanent professional look, embroidery is an excellent choice for smaller chest logos or staff names. Our in-house production facility, established in 1976, ensures that whether you choose print or embroidery, the result meets a professional standard that reflects your companys identity.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly effective for short-term promotional campaigns, one-off corporate events, and large-scale volunteer initiatives. It is also a practical choice for hospitality staff or retail environments where a lightweight, branded t-shirt is required as part of a daily uniform. Its affordability and wide colour range make it the standard choice for building a cohesive team identity on a budget.

Practical Advice
When ordering for a large team, consider that this t-shirt offers a classic fit. If your staff prefer a more contemporary, slimmer silhouette, you may wish to review our more tailored options. However, for general staff use, the classic fit remains the most versatile. We recommend referring to the size guide to ensure the chest measurements align with your requirements, particularly for the plus-size options which extend up to 5XL.
