Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK143 represents a sophisticated hybrid in professional apparel, successfully merging the textured comfort of a piqué polo with the sharp, tailored silhouette of a traditional Oxford shirt. This long-sleeved garment is engineered for professionals who require a polished appearance but refuse to be restricted by rigid fabrics. As a key member of the Superwash 60 family, it is designed to endure the rigours of frequent, high-temperature laundering without losing its shape or professional edge.
Key Features
- Superwash 60 Technology: This allows for high-temperature washing, ensuring that even the most stubborn stains are removed and hygiene standards are maintained in demanding environments.
- Fused Button-Down Collar: The stand-up, button-down collar is fused to maintain its structure, ensuring you look crisp and professional throughout the entire workday.
- Adjustable Cuffs: Featuring a two-button adjustable cuff and a pointed placket, this design allows for a personalised fit and provides a sophisticated finish usually reserved for formal shirting.
- Reinforced Construction: Double-stitched armholes and side seams, alongside a twin-needle straight back yoke, provide superior structural integrity, meaning the shirt won't fail under the physical demands of your role.
- Practical Details: An interlined seven-button placket offers a secure and traditional closure, while spare buttons are conveniently included in the care label for long-term maintenance.
Design & Performance
The technical brilliance of the KK143 lies in its unique fabric composition. By blending 64% polyester and 34% cotton with a touch of elastane in a piqué weave, Kustom Kit has created a garment that is both breathable and flexible. The elastane provides a subtle stretch that accommodates movement, while the polyester-cotton blend ensures the shirt remains lightweight yet exceptionally durable. The tailored fit offers a contemporary, streamlined profile that sits closer to the body, providing a sharp appearance that doesn't sacrifice comfort.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt serves as an excellent canvas for your company branding. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery for chest logos or individual staff names; the piqué weave provides a stable base for high-density stitching, resulting in a professional appearance that lasts. If you require larger, more vibrant branding—perhaps for promotional events—our printing process is equally effective on this fabric blend. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by a team that has been perfecting the craft since 1976, ensuring your brand is represented with absolute precision.
Use Cases
Given its hybrid nature, the KK143 is exceptionally versatile. It is a premier choice for front-of-house hospitality staff who need to look smart but stay mobile. It is equally suited for corporate office environments, technical sales roles, or any business where a standard polo is too casual and a formal shirt is too restrictive. The ability to wash at high temperatures also makes it a practical option for environments where cleanliness is a priority.

Practical Advice
This shirt features a tailored fit, which is designed to be more form-fitting than a standard cut. If you prefer a roomier feel or intend to wear a thermal base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider sizing up. The adjustable cuffs are particularly useful for those with varied arm lengths, allowing for a more bespoke fit at the wrist.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment maintains its professional appearance and structural integrity over time, following the specific care instructions is essential. Proper maintenance ensures that both the fabric and your custom branding remain in peak condition.
We recommend a machine wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature is vital for hygiene and stain removal, but exceeding it may compromise the elastane fibres that provide the shirt's essential stretch.
Do not use bleach when laundering this garment. Bleaching agents will degrade the fabric fibres and lead to significant colour fading, which will undermine your professional branding.
This shirt should not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can cause the piqué weave to shrink and may distort the tailored fit. Instead, hang the garment to air dry naturally.
A warm iron may be used to maintain a crisp, sharp finish. When ironing, ensure the heat is moderate to avoid damaging the synthetic components of the fabric blend. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can be detrimental to the fabric's long-term durability.
