Product Overview

Key Features
- 100% Recycled Polyester Yarn: This sustainable fabric choice reduces environmental impact while maintaining high durability and a smooth finish.
- Wicking Properties: The fabric is designed to pull moisture away from the skin, ensuring the wearer remains dry and comfortable during long shifts.
- Henbury Stand-up Collar: Unlike standard polo collars that may lose shape, this stand-up design ensures a crisp, professional appearance throughout the day.
- Ribbed Cuffs and Collar: The 1x1 ribbed construction provides necessary structure and prevents the fabric from stretching out of shape with regular use.
- Dyed-to-Match Buttons: A subtle design detail that ensures a cohesive, high-end look across the entire garment.
Design & Performance
The performance of the HB465 is rooted in its medium-weight fabric construction. The use of recycled polyester provides a resilient surface that handles the rigours of daily wear exceptionally well. One of its primary technical advantages is its wicking capability; by effectively managing moisture, the garment helps regulate body temperature, making it an excellent choice for indoor hospitality or active service roles.
The regular fit ensures freedom of movement, while the tear-out tag allows for a comfortable experience without the irritation of a traditional label. Accredited by SEDEX, Amfori BSCI, and Oeko-Tex, this polo meets high standards of ethical production and material safety.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The medium-weight, stable knit of this recycled polyester polo makes it a versatile canvas for customisation. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. The fabric density supports intricate logos and text, ensuring your brand identity remains sharp and durable even after many wash cycles.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the polyester is well-suited for high-quality printing, which is ideal for larger, bold designs that need to stand out. At MyWorkwear, our expert team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that every garment leaving our facility meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is particularly effective in the hospitality and corporate sectors, where a consistent and smart appearance is vital. It is equally at home in retail environments or as part of a modern office uniform. Given its wicking properties, it is also a practical choice for staff who move frequently between different environments throughout their workday.

Practical Advice
The HB465 is available in an extensive size range from XS to 4XL, making it easy to outfit an entire workforce with a uniform look. Because it is a medium-weight polo, it layers effectively under softshell jackets or jumpers during colder months without adding unnecessary bulk. We recommend checking the sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your polo shirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove daily grime while preserving the integrity of the recycled fibres and any custom branding.
It is essential to avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration. When drying, use a low heat setting on your tumble dryer to prevent any potential shrinkage and to maintain the garment's shape. If ironing is required, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric; this is particularly important to protect any printed or embroidered logos from heat damage.
Crucially, do not use fabric softener. Softeners can coat the fibres and clog the technical wicking channels, which would permanently reduce the garment's ability to manage moisture effectively. Always wash dark colours separately to prevent any colour transfer.
