Product Overview
The Fruit of the Loom Women's Premium Polo (SS505) is a staple of professional workwear, designed specifically to offer a refined silhouette without compromising on the practical requirements of the workplace. Constructed from 100% cotton, this medium-weight polo shirt provides a soft, breathable foundation for your daily uniform. Its tailored design distinguishes it from standard unisex options, making it a preferred choice for businesses seeking a more polished and cohesive corporate image.
Key Features
- Shaped side seams: These seams are expertly tailored to provide a feminine fit, ensuring the garment follows the natural contours of the body rather than appearing boxy or ill-fitted.
- Side vents: Integrated at the hem, these vents allow for greater ease of movement and prevent the fabric from bunching when seated or moving actively.
- Two-button narrow placket: The refined placket with self-coloured buttons offers a subtle, sophisticated aesthetic that elevates the traditional polo design.
- 1x1 rib cuffs: These reinforced cuffs help the sleeves retain their shape and prevent stretching over time, maintaining a professional appearance throughout the day.
Design & Performance
Fabricated from high-quality 100% cotton, this polo shirt is engineered for comfort and breathability. The medium-weight fabric offers enough substance to feel durable for daily wear while remaining light enough to prevent overheating in active environments. The inclusion of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Amfori BSCI accreditations ensures that the garment is produced under ethical conditions and is free from harmful substances, providing peace of mind for both the wearer and the business owner.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally well-suited for customisation, allowing you to align it perfectly with your brand identity. For a sophisticated finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos and individual names, providing a textured, long-lasting result that withstands frequent laundering. If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing services offer a bold and clear finish.

Practical Advice
The SS505 is available in a broad size range from XS to 2XL, corresponding to UK dress sizes 8 through 18. Because this is a shaped garment, we recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. For those working in cooler environments, this medium-weight cotton polo layers efficiently under knitwear or softshell jackets without adding excessive bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your polo, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature effectively cleans the cotton fibres while preserving the vibrancy of any custom embroidery or print. Avoiding higher temperatures helps prevent premature wear and maintains the garment's shape.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Harsh chemicals will degrade the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration, which is particularly detrimental to branded apparel. Similarly, we advise against dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can interfere with the bond of printed designs.
We recommend air drying rather than using a tumble dryer. Tumble drying can cause natural cotton to shrink and may damage the fine details of your custom branding. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting (one dot) and iron on the reverse of any printed areas to ensure the design remains intact and free from heat damage.
