Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Premium long sleeve polo is a sophisticated and practical addition to any professional wardrobe. Designed for those who require a smarter appearance without sacrificing the comfort of a standard polo, this garment provides extra coverage for cooler environments or more formal settings. Its classic design and high-quality construction make it a versatile choice for businesses looking to maintain a consistent and professional image across their team.
Key Features
- Three-button placket with self-coloured buttons: This traditional detail provides a neat, coordinated finish while allowing the wearer to adjust the neckline for comfort.
- Cotton and elastane ribbed cuffs: The integration of elastane ensures the cuffs retain their shape and elasticity, preventing the sleeves from sagging even after long periods of wear.
- Side vents: These subtle additions at the hem allow for a greater range of movement and ensure the polo sits comfortably over the hips, whether tucked in or worn out.
Design & Performance
Crafted primarily from 100% cotton, this medium-weight polo shirt offers the natural breathability and soft handle that only high-quality cotton can provide. For those opting for the Ash colourway, a blend of 90% cotton and 10% polyester is used to achieve its distinct aesthetic while maintaining the garment's structural integrity. The pique knit is tight and consistent, providing a durable fabric that stands up well to the daily demands of a busy workplace.
The long sleeves offer a layer of protection and warmth, making this an ideal transitional piece for staff who move between indoor and outdoor tasks. The attention to detail in the construction ensures that the polo maintains its shape and professional silhouette throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This premium polo is an ideal candidate for customisation, allowing you to showcase your brand with precision. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this fabric; the medium-weight pique provides a stable base for intricate logos and text, resulting in a professional, textured finish that lasts as long as the garment itself.
For larger promotional designs or bolder branding, our high-quality printing services offer vibrant and clear results. Every customisation project is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where our team leverages decades of experience—dating back to 1976—to ensure your uniform is finished to an exacting standard.
Use Cases
The versatile nature of this long-sleeved polo makes it suitable for a variety of sectors. It is an excellent choice for hospitality staff who need to look sharp but remain mobile, event teams working in varied conditions, or as part of a corporate casual uniform. It bridges the gap between a standard t-shirt and a formal shirt perfectly.

Practical Advice
This polo is available in a wide size range from Small to 3XL, catering to a broad variety of body types. When selecting your size, consider that the 100% cotton fabric offers a classic fit. If you are layering this garment over a base layer during the winter months, you may find the standard sizing provides ample room for comfort without appearing oversized.
Caring for your product
To ensure your polo continues to look its best and your branding remains intact, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient for removing most workplace stains while being gentle enough to preserve the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of the dyes.
Bleaching agents should never be used on this garment. The harsh chemicals found in bleach will break down the natural cotton fibres and lead to premature wear and significant colour loss, which will negatively impact your professional appearance.
We strongly advise against tumble drying. High heat can cause natural cotton to shrink and may damage the adhesives or inks used in printed designs. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry naturally.
When ironing, use a medium heat setting (two dots). If your polo has been customised with a print, always iron on the reverse to avoid direct heat contact with the design. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the process uses solvents that can be detrimental to both the fabric and any applied customisation.
