Product Overview
The Henbury HB105 Long Sleeve Cotton Polo Shirt is a sophisticated evolution of the traditional short-sleeve silhouette, engineered for professional environments that demand a sharper aesthetic.

Its classic styling and core colour palette make it an essential choice for corporate identity and hospitality uniforms where a professional appearance is non-negotiable.

Design & Performance
The performance of the HB105 is rooted in its 100% cotton composition. This natural fibre is selected for its exceptional soft-to-the-touch feel and its ability to regulate temperature by allowing air to circulate. The fabric is a substantial weight, providing a sturdy and durable feel that stands up to the rigours of daily wear without feeling heavy or restrictive.
Design-wise, the stand-up collar is a critical technical feature. Unlike standard knitted collars that may curl or lose shape over time, Henbury’s construction ensures a structured look that mimics a formal shirt, making it suitable for layering under knitwear or jackets. The inclusion of horn buttons adds a touch of classic craftsmanship that distinguishes this polo from standard leisurewear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Henbury HB105 is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and your choice will depend on the desired brand impact. Embroidery is particularly effective on this substantial cotton fabric, providing a high-quality, three-dimensional finish for company logos or staff names that reinforces a professional image. The weight of the fabric supports dense stitch counts without puckering.

Whether you require a subtle chest logo or a bold back print, our in-house team in Telford—utilising expertise built since 1976—ensures that your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve polo shirt is ideally suited for front-of-house hospitality staff, corporate office environments, and trade professionals who require a smarter alternative to a standard t-shirt during the autumn and winter months. Its formal collar construction also makes it a popular choice for sales teams and management who spend time both on-site and in client meetings.

Practical Advice
The HB105 is designed with a classic fit. For those who prefer a more tailored appearance, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure the 100% cotton fabric provides the desired silhouette. This polo layers exceptionally well over a base layer or under a softshell jacket for added warmth without bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional finish of your Henbury polo shirt, it is vital to follow these care guidelines. We recommend a 40°C synthetic wash to ensure the cotton fibres are cleaned effectively without being subjected to excessive mechanical stress.
The use of bleach must be strictly avoided. Chlorine-based cleaners will weaken the cotton fibres and cause irreversible damage to the fabric's colour and any applied customisation. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried, as high heat can lead to significant shrinkage and may distort the stand-up collar's internal structure.
For the best results, re-shape the polo while damp and allow it to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight which can cause the fabric to become brittle. When ironing, use a medium (two-dot) heat setting and always iron on the reverse to protect the outer surface and ensure your embroidered or printed logos remain in pristine condition.
