Design & Performance
Constructed from a cotton-rich blend of 77% cotton and 23% polyester, this shirt strikes the perfect balance between comfort and longevity. The high cotton content ensures breathability and a soft feel against the skin, while the inclusion of polyester enhances the fabric's durability and colour retention. The weave is notably substantial, providing a sturdy feel that differentiates it from standard lightweight office shirts. With a size range extending from Small to 4XL, it is an inclusive choice for outfitting entire teams.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This Oxford shirt is an excellent canvas for branding. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, executive finish; the substantial fabric weight supports high-stitch-count logos across the chest or collar without puckering. For larger, more striking promotional designs, our high-quality print methods provide vibrant results. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented perfectly.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house roles where a reliable, professional image is paramount. Its robust construction also makes it a sensible choice for site managers who require a smart appearance that can withstand the occasional transition from the boardroom to the field.

Practical Advice
This shirt features a classic fit, which provides a more generous cut through the chest and waist compared to slim-fit alternatives. When selecting your size, we recommend consulting our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit, particularly if you intend to layer the shirt under a jumper or blazer during colder months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your shirt, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without causing undue stress to the fabric fibres. It is important to wash dark colours separately to prevent any initial colour transfer from affecting lighter garments.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause permanent discolouration. When drying, keep the garment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle or fading. For the best results, tumble dry on a low temperature setting.
When ironing, use a medium heat (two-dot) setting and always iron on the reverse of the fabric. It is critical that you do not iron directly over any print or embroidery decoration, as the heat can damage the branding and compromise the finish of the shirt. For those who prefer a professional touch, this garment is also suitable for dry cleaning using Perchloroethylene.
