Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Long Sleeve Superwash 60C T-Shirt is a meticulously engineered garment designed for professionals who require a blend of modern aesthetics and industrial-grade durability. This long-sleeve t-shirt features a contemporary fashion fit that provides a more tailored silhouette than standard workwear, ensuring your team looks sharp while remaining comfortable throughout the day.
Constructed from a robust polycotton blend, this t-shirt is specifically developed to withstand the rigours of frequent high-temperature laundering. Whether used as a primary uniform or a reliable layering piece, it offers a consistent performance that busy environments demand.
Key Features
- Superwash 60C Performance: This fabric is designed to be laundered at higher temperatures, which is essential for removing stubborn stains and maintaining high hygiene standards in sectors like hospitality.
- 1x1 Rib Neck: The inclusion of a ribbed neckline provides a flexible yet secure fit that resists stretching, keeping the garment looking professional after multiple wears.
- Self-Fabric Back Neck and Shoulder Tape: This internal reinforcement stabilises the seams across the shoulders, preventing the garment from losing its shape under the strain of daily movement.
- Twin-Needle Stitched Hem and Cuffs: Double-stitched finishing provides superior strength at the points most prone to wear, ensuring the sleeves and hem do not fray or unravel.
- Tear-Out Back Neck Label: A practical feature for those who find traditional labels uncomfortable or for businesses looking to apply their own internal branding.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is crafted from a medium-weight fabric composed of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific blend is chosen for its technical advantages: the polyester provides exceptional colour retention and crease resistance, while the cotton ensures breathability and a soft feel against the skin. The result is a garment that performs like a synthetic technical layer but feels like a traditional cotton t-shirt.
The top-stitched front neck trim adds a subtle design detail that reinforces the collar's structure, ensuring it sits flat against the chest. This attention to detail in the construction phase ensures that the garment maintains its professional appearance even after heavy use in demanding work environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable surface of this polycotton blend makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and highly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos on the chest, providing a textured, premium look that survives industrial laundering as well as the garment itself.
If your branding requires larger, more intricate designs or bold text across the back, our high-quality printing processes are ideal. Printing allows for vibrant colour reproduction and a lightweight finish on the fabric. All customisation is managed by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
Given its ability to be washed at 60°C, this t-shirt is perfectly suited for the hospitality industry, particularly for kitchen staff or front-of-house teams where hygiene is paramount. It also serves as an excellent option for retail staff or delivery drivers who need a long-sleeved layer that offers a step up in style from a standard loose-fit t-shirt.

Practical Advice
This garment is a 'fashion fit' style, which means it sits closer to the body than a traditional work t-shirt. If you prefer a more relaxed or generous fit, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The long sleeves make it a versatile piece for year-round use, either on its own during milder months or as a base layer under a fleece or jacket when the temperature drops.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend washing this t-shirt as a synthetic at 60°C. This temperature is effective for killing bacteria and removing oils, which is vital for maintaining a professional appearance in active roles.
It is important to avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the polyester fibres and cause the colours to fade prematurely. When ironing, use a medium setting; excessive heat can damage the synthetic components of the fabric and any printed designs.
The garment is suitable for tumble drying, which is convenient for rapid uniform turnaround. However, we advise against dry cleaning, as the solvents used in that process can interfere with the adhesives used in some printing methods and may stiffen the embroidery backing.
