Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK430 is a well-engineered, long-sleeved piqué polo designed for professionals who require a smarter alternative to a standard sweatshirt without sacrificing warmth. As part of the Klassic polo family, this garment provides a traditional aesthetic combined with modern durability. It is a medium-weight option that offers a professional appearance while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Three-button narrow placket: Provides a refined and neat finish that looks professional even during intensive tasks.
- Reinforced shoulder seams: Double-stitched construction at the shoulders and armholes ensures the garment maintains its shape and structural integrity over time.
- Ribbed cuffs with elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the cuffs ensures they retain their shape and do not sag, keeping sleeves securely in place.
- Side vents: These allow for greater ease of movement and improved breathability, preventing the fabric from bunching when seated or active.
- Tear-out label: Ideal for businesses looking to rebrand or for individuals who find traditional neck labels irritating.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this polo shirt balances the soft, breathable nature of cotton with the hard-wearing, colour-fast properties of polyester. The piqué knit provides a classic texture that is synonymous with professional workwear. The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to provide warmth in cooler environments while remaining light enough to be worn under a jacket or fleece.
The garment features twin-needle stitching at the hem, which prevents unravelling and ensures a clean finish that withstands the rigours of industrial laundering. This is a classic fit garment, designed to provide a comfortable amount of room without appearing oversized, making it suitable for a wide range of body types.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Kustom Kit KK430 is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its stable piqué knit is particularly well-suited for embroidery, which provides a superior, long-lasting finish for company logos and staff names. The dense weave ensures that even intricate stitch patterns remain crisp and do not distort the surrounding fabric.
For larger, high-impact designs, this polo also takes print exceptionally well. Whether you require a bold back print for visibility or a subtle chest logo, our in-house team in Telford uses expertise developed since 1976 to ensure your branding is applied with precision. Every customisation project is handled by our experts to ensure the final product meets our rigorous standards.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved polo is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is frequently selected for hospitality uniforms, where a smart yet functional appearance is required. It is also an ideal choice for tradespeople moving between site visits and office environments, or for transport and logistics workers who need the extra sleeve length during colder months.

Practical Advice
The KK430 is a classic fit garment. We recommend referring to our sizing guide, which covers sizes from Small (36/38") up to 2XL (46/48"), to ensure the best fit for your team. Because this is a long-sleeved item, consider the sleeve length if your staff frequently work with machinery where loose fabric could be a concern; however, the ribbed elastane cuffs help to mitigate this risk by keeping the sleeves secure at the wrist.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and technical performance of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt while preserving the integrity of the polyester-cotton fibres and any custom embroidery or print.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and your branded logo. This item is not suitable for tumble drying; air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage and to maintain the garment's original shape over time.
If ironing is required, use a medium heat setting (two dots). Excessive heat can damage the polyester content of the fabric and may adversely affect printed logos. Finally, this garment should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in the process can be too harsh for the piqué knit and customisation.
