Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its medium-weight fabric composition. By using 100% recycled polyester, Henbury has created a garment that is both resilient and functional. The wicking properties are inherent to the fabric's structure, providing active moisture management that is essential for hospitality or high-activity roles. The addition of 1x1 ribbed cuffs provides a secure fit at the arms, preventing the sleeves from losing their shape after repeated wear.
Durability is further enhanced by the synthetic nature of the yarn, which resists creasing and maintains its colour vibrancy far longer than traditional cotton blends. The 'tear-out' label is a thoughtful inclusion for businesses looking to rebrand garments internally, ensuring no irritation for the wearer while allowing for a fully bespoke finish.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The HB466 is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. For a formal, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The stable knit of the recycled polyester supports high-stitch-count logos beautifully, making it ideal for staff names or corporate emblems on the chest or sleeves.
If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics—perhaps for a promotional event or high-visibility branding—our printing services are equally effective. The smooth surface of the polyester allows for precise ink adhesion, ensuring your designs remain sharp. Regardless of the method chosen, our decades of expertise ensure your logo is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is versatile enough for various professional settings. It is particularly well-suited for the hospitality industry, where the wicking properties and smart collar are essential for front-of-house staff. It also serves as a superior choice for corporate offices, trade shows, and eco-conscious organisations looking to align their uniform with their sustainability goals.

Practical Advice
This garment is designed with a regular female fit. When layering, we suggest wearing this over a lightweight base layer if necessary, though the wicking fabric is designed to be worn directly against the skin for maximum moisture management. If you are between sizes, the shaped side seams mean that opting for the larger size may provide a more comfortable, relaxed fit without appearing oversized.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of this polo shirt, it should be washed at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday dirt while protecting the recycled fibres from heat degradation.
It is vital that you do not use fabric softener. Softeners can coat the polyester fibres and clog the technical wicking pores, which significantly reduces the garment's ability to manage moisture. Always wash dark colours separately to prevent any potential dye transfer, which can dull the appearance of lighter branding.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting on the reverse of the garment. This prevents heat damage to the synthetic fibres and protects any printed or embroidered customisation from melting or distorting. For drying, a low-temperature tumble dry is acceptable, but air drying is recommended to preserve the garment's shape over time.
