Product Overview
The Kariban Polo baseball contrast polo shirt is a well-engineered garment that blends the classic sophistication of a traditional polo with the athletic aesthetic of a baseball shirt. Constructed from 100% cotton piqué, this medium-weight shirt offers a textured, breathable finish that is suitable for active work environments. The contrast raglan sleeves provide a distinctive visual appeal while ensuring a superior range of motion for the wearer.
Key Features
- Ribbed collar with taped neck: This construction ensures the collar maintains its shape after repeated wear and washing, while the neck tape prevents irritation against the skin.
- Contrast raglan sleeves with piping: The raglan cut eliminates shoulder seams for increased comfort, while the light grey piping at the armholes provides a sophisticated, sporty detail.
- Two-button matching placket: A classic finishing detail that allows for adjustable ventilation and a professional appearance.
- Twin-needle finishing: This reinforcement at the hems and sleeves ensures the garment remains durable and resistant to fraying during daily use.
- Certified production: Fully accredited by WRAP, Sedex, Oeko-Tex, and BSCI, ensuring that your workwear meets high ethical and safety standards.
Design & Performance
This polo shirt is designed for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort. The 100% cotton piqué fabric is a medium-weight material that balances durability with breathability, making it an excellent choice for indoor environments or milder weather. The choice of piqué weave provides a subtle texture that naturally conceals minor creasing throughout the day.
The performance of the garment is further enhanced by its raglan sleeve design. Unlike traditional set-in sleeves, raglan sleeves extend in one piece fully to the collar, providing more room under the arms and a better fit for individuals with broader shoulders or those engaged in physical tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Kariban KB226 is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Given the substantial nature of the cotton piqué, it is particularly well-suited for embroidery. Our Telford-based team can apply high-density logos or staff names to the chest, providing a textured, long-lasting finish that reflects a truly professional standard.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics—perhaps for a promotional event—this garment also accepts high-quality printing. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these processes in-house, ensuring that your customisation is handled by experts who understand how to achieve the best results on piqué fabrics.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is highly versatile, making it ideal for staff uniforms in the leisure and hospitality sectors, or for technical teams who want a sporty alternative to standard work shirts. It is also a popular choice for corporate events or trade shows where a cohesive team identity is required.

Practical Advice
As this is a 100% cotton garment, it provides excellent natural breathability. For colder months, it layers effectively under a softshell jacket or sweatshirt. When selecting sizes, please note the tailored fit across the shoulders due to the raglan design; we recommend referring to our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the cotton piqué and the vibrancy of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided. Failure to do so may lead to premature wear or distortion of the fabric.
We recommend a mild wash at 30°C. High temperatures can cause cotton fibres to contract, leading to shrinkage and potential damage to any embroidered or printed logos.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the main body and the contrast sleeves.
Do not tumble dry this garment. Natural air drying is the best method to preserve the shape and prevent the fabric from becoming brittle. Tumble drying can also lead to excessive creasing that is difficult to remove.
Ironing should be conducted at a mild heat, not exceeding 150°C. This ensures a crisp, professional finish without scorching the natural fibres. Avoid direct heat over printed areas to prevent damage.
Finally, this product is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemical solvents used in the process can interfere with the adhesives used in printing and the tension of embroidery threads.
