Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Valueweight long sleeve T-shirt is a dependable staple in any professional wardrobe. Engineered for reliability and consistent performance, this garment offers a classic fit that balances ease of movement with a sharp, professional silhouette. Its long sleeves provide extra coverage for cooler working environments or serve as an effective base layer for outdoor workwear systems, making it a versatile choice throughout the seasons.
Key Features
- The crew neck is constructed with a cotton and Lycra rib, which ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity even after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
- An integrated self-fabric back neck tape provides a smooth internal finish, preventing neck irritation during long shifts and increasing the garment's longevity.
- The fabric is produced with a fine knit gauge, specifically engineered to provide an enhanced surface for high-quality customisation.
- A comprehensive size range from S to 5XL allows for a uniform appearance across your entire workforce, regardless of build.
Design & Performance
This T-shirt is primarily manufactured from 100% cotton, offering the natural breathability and softness essential for a productive workday. The fabric's weight strikes a perfect balance between being substantial enough for daily wear and lightweight enough for layering. The fine knit gauge is a critical technical feature; it creates a flatter, more uniform surface that ensures both print inks and embroidery threads sit correctly on the garment without distortion. Whether you select the pure cotton of the standard colours or the cotton-rich blends found in the Heather variations, you can expect a garment that maintains its structural integrity over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This long-sleeved T-shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, depending on your branding requirements. For those seeking a proper professional look, embroidery is the ideal choice for chest-mounted company logos or staff names, offering a textured and premium finish. If your business requires large, bold graphics on the back or sleeves, our printing techniques utilise the fine knit gauge to ensure your designs remain sharp and vibrant.

Practical Advice
With an inclusive size range reaching up to 5XL, this garment is designed to fit a broad demographic. If you intend to use this T-shirt primarily as a base layer beneath a sweatshirt or heavy jacket, your standard size will provide a comfortable fit. However, if you prefer a looser, more relaxed feel for physical tasks, we recommend consulting our size guide to ensure you select the best fit for your requirements.
Caring for your product
To ensure your T-shirt continues to look its best, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing dirt and oils while protecting the cotton fibres and ensuring your custom branding remains secure and vibrant.
Do not use bleach on this garment, as harsh oxidising agents will weaken the fabric and cause premature fading of the dye and any printed logos. Likewise, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemical solvents used can degrade the integrity of the customisation.
For drying, use a low-heat tumble dry setting. Excessive heat can lead to the shrinkage of natural cotton fibres and may cause printed designs to crack. When ironing, use a two-dot setting and always iron on the reverse side of any decorated areas to prevent heat damage to the print or embroidery. This careful approach will significantly extend the life of your workwear.
