Product Overview
The Kariban KB356 is a premium short-sleeved crew neck t-shirt designed for businesses that require a more tailored, professional appearance without sacrificing comfort. This medium-weight garment is crafted from high-quality combed cotton, ensuring a smooth surface that is ideal for customisation. By utilising an enzyme wash during the manufacturing process, the fabric achieves an exceptionally soft hand-feel, making it a preferred choice for staff who wear their uniform throughout long shifts.
Key Features
- Enzyme-Washed Cotton: This treatment results in a significantly softer texture and a cleaner surface, providing superior comfort against the skin.
- Slim-Fit Silhouette: The contemporary fitted style offers a modern, professional look that sits closer to the body than standard t-shirts.
- Contrast Taped Neck: Featuring a heather grey tape (with specific variations for White and Oxford Grey), this reinforcement ensures the neckline retains its shape over time.
- Twin-Needle Finishing: Double-stitched seams at the cuffs and hem provide essential durability, preventing the edges from fraying or rolling after repeated wear.
- Ethically Certified: This garment is BSCI and Oeko-Tex certified, confirming that it meets high social and safety standards in its production.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Kariban KB356 lies in its fabric composition and construction. The majority of the colour range is made from 100% combed cotton, which is breathable and naturally absorbent. For those choosing the Oxford Grey variant, a 90% cotton and 10% viscose blend is used to achieve the traditional marl effect while maintaining structural integrity. The medium-weight fabric provides enough substance to feel durable while remaining light enough for active work environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This t-shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, and our Telford-based team, established in 1976, has decades of experience in applying both. For a traditional, high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for chest-positioned company logos or individual names. The tight knit of the combed cotton supports the thread density beautifully.
Alternatively, if your branding requires large, vibrant graphics on the back or chest, our printing processes are perfectly suited to this garment's smooth surface. Whether you choose the texture of embroidery or the boldness of print, we handle all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards.
Use Cases
The slim-fit design makes this t-shirt particularly suitable for customer-facing roles where a sharp appearance is necessary. It is frequently utilised in the hospitality sector, retail environments, and for corporate events or promotional staff. Because of the extended size range reaching up to 4XL, it is also an ideal choice for creating a unified look across a large and diverse workforce.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment, it is designed to be more figure-hugging than a traditional t-shirt. If you or your staff prefer a more relaxed or generous fit, we recommend considering one size larger than your usual measurement. The inclusive size range from S to 4XL allows for a consistent look across your entire team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and any custom branding, we recommend a mild wash at 30°C. High temperatures can break down the cotton fibres and may cause the garment to lose its tailored shape over time.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Harsh chemical agents will strip the colour and weaken the natural cotton fibres, leading to premature wear and fading of your company logo.
We advise against tumble drying. The high heat of a dryer can cause shrinkage and can potentially damage printed designs. Instead, reshape the t-shirt while damp and allow it to air dry naturally.
When ironing, use a low heat setting (maximum 110°C). If the garment has been printed or embroidered, ensure you iron on the reverse side to avoid direct contact with the branding, which could melt or distort the design.
