Kustom Kit St Mellion polo (classic fit)

Product Overview

The Kustom Kit St Mellion polo is a sophisticated take on the classic workwear essential. This medium-weight garment is crafted from 100% combed cotton piqué, offering a level of refinement that elevates it above standard alternatives. Its design is defined by tasteful contrast tipping on the collar and cuffs, paired with a matching inner placket and distinctive horn-effect buttons. Designed with a generous classic fit, it provides a professional silhouette without restricting movement, making it a reliable choice for long shifts.

Key Features

• Combed Cotton Piqué: The use of combed cotton ensures that shorter, coarser fibres have been removed, resulting in a smoother, stronger fabric that feels superior against the skin.
• Reinforced Construction: Double-stitched shoulders, armholes, and cuffs provide additional strength at high-stress points, ensuring the polo maintains its integrity through repeated wear.
• Taped Seams: Taped back neck and shoulder seams prevent the garment from stretching out of shape, preserving the professional fit over time.
• Side Vents: Contrast herringbone taped side vents offer increased flexibility and a better drape, allowing the garment to sit comfortably over the hips.
• Attention to Detail: The half-moon yoke and three-button slanted top placket demonstrate a commitment to high-quality tailoring often missing from standard workwear.

Design & Performance

Engineered for longevity, the St Mellion polo balances aesthetic appeal with industrial-grade durability. The 100% combed cotton piqué is breathable yet substantial, providing a comfortable medium-weight feel that is suitable for year-round use. The generous fit is intentional, accommodating various body types while ensuring the wearer does not feel restricted during physical tasks. The double-stitched finishing is not merely for show; it is a practical addition that prevents the seams from fraying or failing in demanding environments.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

This polo is an excellent canvas for branding. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. The substantial piqué knit provides a stable base for detailed logos or staff names, creating a high-end look that lasts the lifetime of the garment. If your requirement involves larger, bold designs, the smooth surface of the combed cotton also accommodates high-quality printing.

All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility. With nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976, our expert team ensures your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the premium feel of the Kustom Kit range.

Use Cases

The St Mellion polo is ideally suited for front-of-house staff, hospitality teams, and corporate environments where a smart-casual uniform is required. Its distinctive contrast details make it a popular choice for sales teams and representatives who need to stand out while maintaining a formal edge. It is equally at home in a showroom as it is on a site visit.

Practical Advice

It is important to note that this garment is designed with a generous fit. We recommend consulting the size guide and perhaps considering a size smaller than usual if you prefer a more tailored silhouette. Due to its medium-weight construction, it layers effectively under knitwear or softshell jackets without adding unnecessary bulk.

Caring for your product

To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of your polo, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Avoiding higher temperatures prevents the natural cotton fibres from shrinking and ensures your custom embroidery or print remains intact.

Do not use bleach, as this will aggressively break down the cotton fibres and cause the contrast tipping to fade. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally prevents distortion of the collar and cuffs, keeping the polo looking sharp for longer.

If ironing is necessary, use a two-dot setting (medium heat). This provides enough heat to remove creases from the piqué knit without scorching the fabric. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemical processes can damage both the 100% cotton fabric and your custom branding.
