Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Women's 65/35 Polo is a cornerstone of professional workwear, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the modern workplace. Constructed from a dependable polycotton blend, this garment balances the breathable comfort of cotton with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. Unlike generic alternatives, this polo is designed with a longer body length and a looser fit, providing a modest and professional silhouette that allows for a full range of movement throughout a busy shift.
With its heritage in producing reliable basics, Fruit of the Loom has tailored this specific model to include shaped side seams, ensuring a feminine fit that does not compromise on utility. Whether you are representing your business at an event or managing day-to-day operations in a healthcare setting, this polo provides a polished appearance that lasts.
Key Features
- 60°C Wash Performance: This garment is designed to withstand high-temperature laundering, which is essential for maintaining hygiene and removing stubborn stains in demanding environments.
- Two-Button Fused Placket: The placket is reinforced to maintain its shape and structure, featuring self-coloured buttons for a subtle and cohesive aesthetic.
- Shaped Side Seams: These seams are specifically tailored to provide a more feminine silhouette while maintaining the looser, comfortable fit required for active work.
- Easy-Care Fabric: The blend of materials is designed to resist creasing and retain colour, meaning you spend less time ironing and more time focusing on your business.
Design & Performance
The technical composition of this polo shirt consists of a medium-weight 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend. This specific ratio is chosen for its performance characteristics; the polyester provides significant durability and colour fastness, while the cotton ensures the fabric remains comfortable against the skin. The fabric weight is substantial enough to feel durable and high-quality without being overly heavy, making it suitable for year-round wear.
Performance is further enhanced by the fused placket, which prevents the collar and button area from sagging or losing shape after multiple washes. The longer body length is a practical design choice, ensuring the garment remains tucked in or provides adequate coverage when reaching or bending, a common requirement in many trades and service industries.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable, medium-weight fabric of the Women's 65/35 Polo makes it a superior candidate for customisation. At MyWorkwear, our in-house team in Telford has been refining these processes since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and care.
Embroidery is highly recommended for this polo shirt to achieve a professional and long-lasting finish. It is particularly effective for company logos, staff names, or crests on the chest. The tight weave of the polycotton blend supports the stitching beautifully, ensuring the logo remains crisp. For larger, high-impact designs—such as those required for promotional events or large back logos—our printing services offer a vibrant and durable alternative that complements the garment's easy-care nature.
Use Cases
This polo is a versatile solution for a variety of sectors. Its ability to be laundered at high temperatures makes it an ideal choice for the healthcare and hospitality industries, where hygiene is paramount. Additionally, its professional appearance and comfortable fit make it a staple for corporate uniforms, event staff, and retail environments. The durable construction also ensures it is suitable for light industrial work where a smarter appearance is preferred over a standard t-shirt.
Why MyWorkwear
Choosing MyWorkwear means partnering with a company that has nearly half a century of expertise. Established in 1976, we have grown from a small operation to a leading UK provider of customised workwear. Based in Telford, our expert team manages the entire customisation process in-house.

Practical Advice
This polo features a looser fit, so if you prefer a more fitted appearance, you may wish to consult our size guide carefully. It is available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL, covering UK dress sizes 8 through 18. For those working in outdoor environments, this polo layers exceptionally well under a medium-weight fleece or softshell jacket without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your polo is straightforward if you follow the recommended guidelines. We advise a machine wash at 60°C. This high temperature is specifically intended to ensure thorough cleaning and sanitisation, which is vital for maintaining a professional and hygienic uniform.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleach will compromise the integrity of the polycotton fibres and cause the colours to fade or patch, which will diminish the professional look of your custom branding.
To ensure the garment retains its shape and to protect the customisation, do not tumble dry. Instead, allow the polo to air dry. When ironing, use a low heat setting (one dot) to remove any minor creases. High heat can damage the synthetic fibres in the blend. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the process is unnecessary for this easy-care fabric and may affect the longevity of the print or embroidery.
