Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK555 Cooltex plus wicking tee is a high-performance garment engineered specifically for professionals who require both comfort and technical functionality in their daily workwear. This regular-fit t-shirt is crafted from a sophisticated micro-mesh fabric that incorporates advanced moisture-management technology, ensuring the wearer remains dry even in physically demanding environments.
Key Features
- Cooltex Plus Wicking Yarn: This technical fiber is designed to draw moisture away from the skin, facilitating rapid evaporation and keeping the wearer cool throughout the day.
- 1x1 Rib Neck: The rib construction provides a durable and comfortable fit around the collar, maintaining its shape after repeated wear and washing.
- Self-Fabric Taping: Taping along the back neck and shoulders provides essential structural reinforcement, preventing the garment from stretching out of shape during active use.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Utilised on the hem and cuffs, this double-stitch technique ensures the seams are resilient enough to withstand the rigours of a busy working environment.
- Adhesive Back Neck Label: The removable label reduces irritation and allows for a clean, professional finish inside the garment.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is constructed from 100% polyester micro mesh, resulting in a lightweight fabric that offers exceptional breathability. The micro-mesh structure allows air to circulate freely, which is critical when working in high-temperature settings or during intense physical activity. The regular fit is designed to provide a professional silhouette without being restrictive, allowing for a full range of movement. Top-stitched front neck trim adds a level of refinement to the design, ensuring that this technical garment is suitable for both active trades and customer-facing roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The KK555 is an ideal candidate for professional customisation. For companies looking to establish a formal identity, embroidery is an excellent choice for logos and staff names. The stable micro-mesh fabric provides a solid foundation for high-quality stitching, resulting in a crisp, professional appearance.
For larger promotional designs or high-impact branding, print customisation is highly effective on this polyester substrate. Printing allows for bold, vibrant graphics that are clearly visible from a distance. All customisation work is performed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team has been delivering expert results since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for various sectors, including hospitality, where staff in hot kitchens or busy front-of-house roles benefit from the wicking technology. It is also an excellent choice for tradespeople working in warm conditions, as well as for corporate sports events or team-building activities. Its durability and professional finish make it a staple for any active work uniform.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt is available in a broad size range from XS to 4XL. For the best fit, we recommend measuring your chest and referring to the provided size guide. Due to its lightweight fabric, this t-shirt also serves as an outstanding base layer during the colder months, effectively managing moisture beneath heavier sweatshirts or jackets.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and wicking capabilities of the Cooltex Plus fabric, it is essential to wash this garment as a synthetic at 30°C. Using higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-management finish.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleach is highly abrasive and will degrade both the micro-mesh structure and the integrity of any custom print or embroidery. Furthermore, this product should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned, as the heat and chemicals used in these processes can lead to shrinkage and damage the technical properties of the yarn.
If ironing is necessary, use a low-iron setting. High heat can melt the synthetic fibers, causing permanent damage to the fabric and any applied branding. Following these instructions will ensure your workwear remains in professional condition for as long as possible.
