Product Overview
The Kariban Men's long-sleeved crew neck T-shirt is a refined staple for the modern professional, offering a sophisticated alternative to standard short-sleeved options. Constructed from high-quality combed cotton, this mid-weight garment provides a smooth, substantial feel that is suitable for year-round wear. The tailored, slim fit ensures a sharp silhouette that remains comfortable during active shifts, while the long sleeves offer additional coverage and protection.
Key Features
- Enzyme-washed fabric: This technical treatment provides an exceptionally soft hand-feel and a smooth surface, ensuring maximum comfort against the skin throughout the working day.
- Slim fit design: The contemporary cut offers a professional and streamlined appearance, making it an ideal choice for customer-facing roles.
- Twin-needle finishing: Reinforced stitching at the cuffs and hem significantly increases the garment's resistance to wear and tear, ensuring it maintains its shape after repeated laundering.
- Contrast neck tape: The inclusion of a sturdy neck tape provides structural reinforcement to the neckline, preventing stretching and ensuring a consistent fit over time.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition is primarily 100% cotton, though the Oxford Grey variant utilizes a blend of 90% cotton and 10% viscose to achieve its specific textured aesthetic. The use of combed cotton is a deliberate choice for performance; by removing shorter fibres and impurities, the resulting fabric is stronger and less prone to pilling than standard alternatives.
The enzyme wash is not merely for comfort; it creates a flatter, cleaner surface that is particularly well-suited for high-resolution branding. Combined with the twin-needle finishing, this t-shirt is engineered to withstand the rigours of a busy workplace while maintaining the appearance of a premium retail garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your workwear with your brand identity. For a traditional and highly durable finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for chest logos, providing a three-dimensional, professional look that is synonymous with established businesses.
If your branding involves larger, more intricate designs or vibrant colour gradients, our high-quality printing services are the ideal solution. The smooth, enzyme-washed cotton provides a superior canvas for ink adhesion, ensuring your designs remain crisp and clear. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, where we have been perfecting our craft since 1976.
Use Cases
The Kariban long-sleeved t-shirt is exceptionally versatile. It is a preferred choice for delivery drivers, warehouse supervisors, and retail staff who require a smart-casual appearance. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent base layer for tradespeople working in cooler environments, providing warmth without the bulk of a sweatshirt or jacket.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt is designed with a slim fit. For individuals who prefer a more generous or relaxed cut, we recommend selecting one size larger than usual. The size range is comprehensive, spanning from Small to 4XL, allowing for a unified appearance across a diverse workforce. We suggest consulting our detailed size guide to ensure the most accurate fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of the fabric and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend a normal domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at this temperature effectively cleans the garment while minimizing the risk of fibre shrinkage or colour fade.
When ironing, use a mild heat setting not exceeding 110°C. It is essential to iron the garment inside out, especially if it features printed elements, to prevent heat damage to the design. High heat can cause the fibres to become brittle, which may lead to premature wear.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this chemical process will weaken the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. While the garment can be tumble dried on a mild programme, we suggest air drying where possible to maintain the garment's shape and the vibrancy of the embroidered or printed logos for as long as possible.
