Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK504 Superwash 60 t-shirt is a meticulously engineered garment designed for those who require a balance of refined aesthetics and industrial-grade durability.

The focus here is on longevity; this is a garment designed to withstand the rigours of frequent laundering without losing its shape or professional finish.
Key Features
- Superwash 60 Fabric: This specialized treatment allows the garment to be laundered at higher temperatures, ensuring superior hygiene and effective stain removal in demanding environments.
- 1x1 Ribbed Crew Neck: The neck features a resilient rib design that resists stretching, ensuring the collar retains its shape even after repeated wear.
- Self-Fabric Back Neck and Shoulder Tape: Integrated taping reinforces high-stress areas, preventing sagging and improving the overall lifespan of the t-shirt.
- Twin Needle Hem and Cuffs: Double-stitched seams provide a cleaner finish and significantly reduce the risk of unravelling at the edges.
- Tear-Out Label: The inclusion of a removable back neck label makes this an ideal choice for businesses looking to rebrand garments with their own internal labelling.
Design & Performance
The performance of the KK504 lies in its material composition. By combining 65% polyester with 35% ringspun cotton, Kustom Kit has created a fabric that benefits from the breathability of cotton and the hard-wearing, crease-resistant properties of polyester. For those opting for the Black Melange variant, a 50/50 blend is utilized to achieve a distinct textured appearance without compromising on durability.
The fashion fit provides a more tailored silhouette compared to traditional boxy workwear, offering a contemporary appearance suitable for modern front-of-house roles. Despite its sleek cut, the fabric is robust enough to handle the physical demands of various trades and busy hospitality settings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This t-shirt has been specifically developed as a blank canvas for branding. Its smooth surface is particularly well-suited for a wide range of print techniques, including screen printing, Direct-to-Garment (DTG), and even sublimation on the high-polyester content fabric. This allows for vibrant, large-scale designs that are ideal for promotional events or bold company logos.
For a more traditional and prestigious finish, the fabric's stable knit also supports high-quality embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your company branding is executed with precision and durability in mind.
Use Cases
The KK504 is a versatile choice across several sectors. Its sleek fit and high-temperature wash capability make it an excellent option for the hospitality industry, where cleanliness and a sharp appearance are paramount. It is equally suited for retail environments, corporate events, or as a professional base layer for technicians and tradespeople who require a more polished look than a standard t-shirt provides.

Practical Advice
The fashion fit of this garment is designed to be closer to the body; if you prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, you may wish to consider moving up one size. With an inclusive size range extending from XS up to 4XL, it is a practical option for outfitting an entire workforce. For colder environments, the polyester-cotton blend serves as an effective layering piece under a sweatshirt or softshell jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour fastness of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is specifically chosen to eliminate bacteria and stubborn stains that accumulate in a work environment; failing to wash at appropriate temperatures can lead to the build-up of oils within the fibres.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents will degrade the polyester-cotton fibres and cause premature fading of the fabric. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided to prevent chemical damage to the fabric's finish and the potential degradation of custom branding.
When drying, a medium heat setting on a tumble dryer is appropriate. Overheating the garment can lead to unnecessary shrinkage or fibre stress. For the best appearance, iron on a medium heat setting; this will keep the t-shirt looking crisp and professional throughout the working week.
