Product Overview
The Henbury Ultimate 65/35 polo shirt is a robust staple of professional workwear, engineered for those who require both durability and a refined aesthetic. Crafted from a heavyweight pique fabric, this garment offers a more substantial feel than standard polo shirts, making it particularly well-suited for demanding environments where longevity is a priority. Its classic fit ensures comfort throughout the working day, while the integrated design details, such as the double ottoman stripes, provide a subtle touch of class that elevates it above typical entry-level options.
Key Features
- Henbury Stand-up Collar: Unlike standard collars that can lose their shape after a few washes, this stand-up collar is designed for superior retention, ensuring you maintain a sharp, professional appearance.
- Three-Button Placket: Finished with plain horn buttons, the placket adds a traditional and sophisticated touch to the garment's design.
- Ottoman Stripe Detail: The self-coloured ottoman stripes on the collar and cuffs provide a textural contrast that signifies quality construction.
- Side Vents: Reinforced with self-coloured herringbone tape, these vents allow for a greater range of movement and prevent the fabric from bunching when seated.
- Extended Size Range: Available from Small up to 4XL, ensuring a consistent uniform solution for your entire team.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its 65% polyester and 35% cotton composition. This blend strikes the ideal balance between the natural breathability of cotton and the hard-wearing, crease-resistant properties of polyester. As a heavyweight garment, it provides a sense of security and warmth without sacrificing mobility. The 1x1 ribbed cuffs ensure the sleeves stay in place, which is essential for manual tasks or active roles.
Durability is further enhanced by the construction techniques used by Henbury. The use of a pique weave provides a textured, breathable surface that hides minor snags better than jersey fabrics, while the WRAP accreditation confirms that the garment is produced under lawful, humane, and ethical conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavyweight fabric is an exceptional canvas for customisation. For a truly professional finish that aligns with corporate branding, we highly recommend embroidery. The density of the pique weave supports intricate logo designs and text with minimal puckering, providing a premium look for client-facing roles.
For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing services are equally effective. Whether you require a single-colour logo or a complex design, our in-house team in Telford uses their decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
Given its substantial weight and professional finish, this polo shirt is an excellent choice for the hospitality industry, corporate uniform programs, and site management.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this is a classic fit garment designed for ease of movement. If you are between sizes and prefer a more tailored look, you may wish to size down; however, for active work roles, the standard sizing provides the necessary room to move. This polo shirt layers effectively under jumpers or jackets during colder months due to its heavyweight construction.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional finish of your Henbury polo shirt, it is vital to follow the recommended care instructions. While the garment is capable of a 60°C wash for heavy staining or hygiene purposes, a standard 40°C synthetic cycle is typically sufficient for regular maintenance and will help preserve the life of the fabric.
Do not use bleach, as it will weaken the polyester-cotton fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting to avoid unnecessary shrinkage and to keep the pique weave feeling soft.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting. It is imperative that you do not iron directly over any print or embroidery, as the heat can melt the print or damage the threads of the embroidery, compromising the professional appearance of your branding.
