Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK133 is an expertly engineered short-sleeved pilot shirt, designed specifically for those in the transport, security, and aviation sectors who require a sharp, professional appearance. This shirt features a tailored fit, providing a modern silhouette that maintains its structure throughout long shifts. The cotton-rich poplin fabric offers a sophisticated balance between natural comfort and the resilient performance required for daily professional use.
Key Features
- Fused stand-up collar: This ensures the collar remains crisp and upright, providing a clean frame for a tie or a standalone professional look.
- Easy-iron finish: Designed to save time and effort, this treatment allows the garment to be quickly prepared for duty while maintaining a smooth appearance.
- Button-down chest pockets: Two functional pockets provide secure storage for essential documentation, ensuring items stay in place during movement.
- Integrated pen holder: The left pocket features a dedicated pen slot, allowing for immediate access to writing tools during logbook entries or reports.
- Button-down epaulettes: These shoulder attachments are essential for attaching rank slides or identification insignia, making it a standard choice for security and transport roles.
Design & Performance
Construction quality is at the forefront of the KK133 design. The shirt features double-stitched side and sleeve seams, which provide significant reinforcement against the stresses of regular wear. Additionally, single-needle stitching at the yoke and armholes ensures a refined finish that won't easily fray or pull apart.
The fabric is a lightweight poplin that offers excellent breathability for indoor or warm-weather environments. Despite its lighter feel, the high polyester content ensures the shirt is durable and retains its colour and shape after repeated laundering, which is essential for any high-frequency uniform.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth poplin surface and structured chest pockets make this shirt an ideal candidate for customisation. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery on the chest or collar. This method creates a durable, high-quality finish for company logos and names that will withstand the life of the garment.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant designs, our printing services are equally effective. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience ensuring your branding is applied with technical precision.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored fit garment, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a standard uniform shirt. We recommend checking your collar measurement carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. If you find yourself between sizes or prefer a more generous range of motion for physical tasks, you may wish to consider the next size up.
Caring for your product
To preserve the tailored shape and technical properties of the easy-iron fabric, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Using a standard domestic cycle at this temperature effectively removes oils and dirt without damaging the integrity of the cotton-polyester fibres.
The use of bleach must be avoided at all costs. Bleaching agents will compromise the fabric strength and lead to permanent discolouration, which will negatively impact both the garment and any custom branding.
We advise against tumble drying this shirt. High-velocity heat can lead to unwanted shrinkage and can degrade the adhesive used in printed logos. For the best result, hang the shirt to air dry immediately after the wash cycle has finished.
For a crisp, professional finish, use a two-dot iron setting. Ironing the shirt while slightly damp will make the easy-iron properties even more effective, allowing you to achieve a smooth finish with very little effort.
