Product Overview
The Henbury HB101 is a sophisticated take on the traditional polo shirt, designed with a contemporary silhouette that suits a variety of professional environments. It features a modern fit that bridges the gap between classic workwear and fashion-forward corporate attire, making it an excellent choice for businesses seeking a sharper, more updated image. The use of a micro-fine piqué fabric ensures an exceptionally smooth finish, which serves as a superior canvas for technical branding and customisation.
Key Features
- Modern fit with a narrow point collar and fitted sleeves: Provides a streamlined appearance that looks professional without being overly restrictive.
- Two-button placket with dyed-to-match buttons: Offers a clean, cohesive look that maintains a professional aesthetic across the entire garment.
- Contrast herringbone tape in the back neck and side vents: Enhances the garment's structural integrity while adding a subtle touch of internal detail that prevents the neck from stretching.
- Cut-out back neck brand label: Facilitates easy rebranding for businesses looking to add their own internal neck labels for a bespoke feel.
Design & Performance
Crafted primarily from 100% cotton in most colours, this polo shirt utilises a micro-fine piqué knit. Unlike traditional, chunkier piqué fabrics, this micro-fine version is significantly smoother to the touch. This lightweight fabric is highly breathable and comfortable for long shifts, particularly in hospitality or office environments. For specific colourways, such as Charcoal or Heather Navy, a cotton and polyester blend is used to provide the necessary durability and colour retention required for high-frequency wear. The modern fit includes fitted cuffs and sleeves, ensuring the garment retains its shape throughout the day rather than appearing loose or baggy.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is specifically engineered for decoration. The micro-fine piqué surface is exceptionally flat, making it the ideal choice for detailed screen printing or heat transfer where clarity and crisp lines are paramount. For those seeking a professional look, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos on the chest or sleeves, as the fabric weight supports the stitching without puckering. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your branding reflects the quality of your business.
Use Cases
Given its refined fit and smooth fabric, this polo is perfectly suited for corporate uniforms, front-of-house hospitality roles, and premium retail environments. It transitions effortlessly from a client meeting to a more casual setting, providing versatility for modern workforces who require clothing that is as adaptable as they are.

Practical Advice
This garment features a modern, slimmer fit. If your team prefers a more relaxed or traditional feel, you may wish to consider sizing up. The extensive size range from XS to 5XL ensures that you can achieve a unified look across your entire workforce, regardless of individual requirements. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it an excellent layering piece under a jumper or softshell jacket in cooler months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your polo shirt, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing dark colours separately is essential to prevent dye transfer, which can dull the appearance of lighter garments or affect the clarity of your custom branding.
Avoid using bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and cause premature fading of both the fabric and your embroidered or printed logo.
When drying, use a low temperature setting on your tumble dryer. High heat can cause the micro-fine piqué to shrink or lose the modern shape that defines this style. For the best results, air drying is recommended.
For ironing, use a medium setting. Crucially, do not iron directly onto any printed motifs or embroidered logos, as the direct heat can melt or distort the branding, compromising the professional finish of your uniform.
Dry cleaning should be avoided to preserve the integrity of the micro-fine weave and the adhesives used in any applied customisation.
