Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK455 is a high-performance polo shirt engineered for active work environments where temperature control and moisture management are paramount. Constructed from advanced Cooltex plus micro mesh fabric, this garment prioritises wearer comfort without compromising the professional appearance required for corporate or trade uniforms. The regular fit ensures a comfortable silhouette for a wide range of body types, making it a dependable choice for diverse workforces.
Key Features
- Cooltex plus yarn: This innovative material features integral wicking properties that actively draw moisture away from the skin, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during physically demanding shifts.
- 1x1 rib knit collar: Provides a structured, sharp appearance that resists curling, ensuring the wearer remains presentable throughout the working day.
- Double-stitched armholes and hems: These reinforced seams offer superior durability, preventing the garment from fraying or failing at high-stress points.
- Three-button placket: A classic design element with a straight top finish that allows for adjustable ventilation and a professional look.
- Self-fabric taped back neck: Increases wearer comfort by preventing irritation from internal seams against the skin, which is essential for long-term wear.
Design & Performance
Designed with performance in mind, the KK455 utilises a lightweight micro mesh fabric that promotes maximum airflow. The 100% polyester composition is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand repetitive wear while maintaining its shape and colour. Unlike traditional cotton polos, the Cooltex plus technology ensures that the fabric does not become heavy or sodden when damp, making it ideal for high-intensity roles. The addition of a Kustom Kit adhesive back neck label further enhances comfort, removing the potential for a scratchy tag to distract you from the task at hand.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The micro mesh structure of this Kustom Kit polo provides an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring finish, embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names; our high-precision machinery ensures the branding remains crisp against the textured fabric. Alternatively, if your requirement involves larger, more vibrant graphics—perhaps for a specific event or high-visibility promotional campaign—print provides a bold, high-impact result. Since 1976, our expert team in Telford has been refining these techniques, ensuring every garment leaving our facility meets our rigorous standards for quality and clarity.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is particularly well-suited for hospitality staff, delivery drivers, and tradespeople working in warmer environments. Its moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for outdoor summer events or indoor roles involving significant physical activity, such as warehouse management, technical maintenance, or gym-based staff uniforms.

Practical Advice
The KK455 is a regular fit garment, designed to provide a classic silhouette with enough room for movement. For those who prefer a more tailored look, we recommend reviewing the size guide carefully, as the lightweight fabric offers a generous drape. This polo layers exceptionally well under softshell jackets or fleeces when transitioning between indoor and outdoor tasks, providing a consistent professional appearance regardless of the weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and aesthetic quality of your micro mesh polo, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements. This ensures the Cooltex plus yarn continues to wick moisture effectively over time.
Wash the garment as a synthetic at 30°C. Using a cooler cycle prevents the polyester fibres from breaking down prematurely and helps preserve the integrity of any applied print or embroidery.
Do not use bleach. Harsh chemicals will strip the fabric of its colour and damage the technical moisture-wicking properties of the yarn, rendering it less effective in heat.
If ironing is required, use a low heat (one dot) setting. High temperatures can melt synthetic fibres or distort the micro mesh structure, causing permanent damage to the fabric's appearance.
Avoid tumble drying and dry cleaning. These processes subject the garment to excessive heat and mechanical stress, which can lead to unwanted shrinkage and a reduction in the lifespan of the custom branding.
