Product Overview
The Henbury Stretch Polo Shirt with wicking finish represents a sophisticated evolution of the traditional workwear polo. Engineered with a contemporary slim fit, this garment is designed for professionals who require a sharp silhouette without compromising on physical mobility. The micro-fine piqué fabric provides a modern texture that is as functional as it is aesthetic, making it a standout choice for businesses looking to modernise their uniform.
Key Features
- The integrated wicking finish actively moves moisture away from the skin, ensuring the wearer remains dry and comfortable during active shifts or in warmer environments.
- A blend of polyester and elastane provides essential stretch, allowing the garment to retain its shape while permitting a full range of movement throughout the day.
- The flat knit collar and fitted sleeves with cuffs offer a refined appearance that remains crisp, even after multiple washes.
- The three-button placket features dyed-to-match buttons for a cohesive, professional look that avoids visual distraction.
- A cut-out back neck brand label allows for easy rebranding or increased comfort by removing irritating tags.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight micro-fine piqué, this polo shirt is built to perform in high-pressure professional settings. The fabric composition of 98% polyester and 2% elastane ensures that the shirt is remarkably resilient against creasing, which is vital for maintaining a professional image throughout a long working day. The addition of front and back shoulder yolk details provides extra structural integrity, ensuring the garment sits correctly on the frame and withstands the rigours of daily wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The micro-fine piqué weave of the Henbury HB460 is an exceptional surface for customisation. Its smooth, tight knit allows for high-definition embroidery, making it perfect for intricate company logos or staff names. Embroidery provides a durable and prestigious finish that reinforces a professional brand identity.
For those requiring larger or more vibrant graphics, this fabric also takes print exceptionally well. The flat surface ensures that designs remain clear and bold. Our in-house team in Telford, which has been honing its expertise since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is particularly well-suited for the hospitality and wellness sectors, where staff need to look smart while remaining physically active. It is also an excellent choice for corporate events or as a more modern alternative for standard office-based uniforms. The slim fit and technical properties make it a versatile garment for any adult professional environment.

Practical Advice
This garment is a slim-fit style, designed to sit closer to the body than a traditional polo. We recommend reviewing the size range from XS to 3XL to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed feel, you may wish to size up. The stretch in the fabric will accommodate movement, but the cut remains tailored.
Caring for your product
To preserve the performance characteristics of the wicking finish and the integrity of the stretch fibres, we recommend a 40°C synthetic wash cycle. This temperature is sufficient to clean the technical fabric without causing thermal damage.
It is vital that you do not use fabric softener, as this can coat the wicking fibres and prevent the fabric from drawing moisture away from the skin. Avoid using bleach, as it will weaken the elastane and lead to the garment losing its shape over time.
For drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting or re-shape the shirt while it is damp and allow it to air dry. When ironing, use a cool setting on the reverse of the garment to ensure any custom embroidery or print is not damaged by direct heat.
