Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK409 Tipped Collar Polo offers a sophisticated twist on the classic workwear essential. Designed with a classic fit that balances comfort and professional aesthetics, this polo shirt is distinguished by its contrasting tipping on the collar and cuffs. This subtle design detail elevates the garment from a standard uniform piece to a stylish corporate or hospitality staple. Constructed from a durable polycotton blend, it is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a sharp appearance throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Contrast Tipping: The 1x1 flat knit collar and cuffs feature elegant contrast tipping, providing a refined aesthetic that helps your team stand out.
- Durable Construction: Double-stitched shoulders, armholes, and cuffs ensure the garment retains its structural integrity even under physical strain.
- Enhanced Comfort: Side vents and a half-moon back yoke allow for better movement and breathability during active shifts.
- Reinforced Seams: Taped back neck and shoulder seams prevent stretching and irritation, ensuring the polo keeps its shape over time.
- Professional Placket: A three-button slanted top placket offers a clean, traditional look suitable for a variety of professional environments.
Design & Performance
The fabric is a high-performance blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This medium-weight material provides the best of both worlds: the breathability and soft hand-feel of cotton combined with the moisture-wicking and crease-resistant properties of polyester. The result is a garment that feels substantial without being restrictive, making it ideal for staff who are constantly on the move.
Performance is further bolstered by the twin-needle hem and double-stitched seams. These technical details are not merely aesthetic; they significantly reduce the risk of fraying or seam failure in high-stress areas like the armholes and shoulders. The classic fit ensures a silhouette that is neither too tight nor too baggy, catering to a wide range of body types within a workforce.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The KK409 is an excellent canvas for custom branding. For those seeking a truly premium and long-lasting finish, we highly recommend embroidery. The fabric's stable knit structure supports high-stitch-count logos on the chest or sleeves, creating a three-dimensional, professional appearance that withstands frequent laundering.
Alternatively, for larger promotional designs or bold back-branding, our high-quality print services are perfectly suited to this polycotton blend. Our in-house production team, based in Telford since 1976, utilises advanced machinery to ensure that every logo—whether printed or embroidered—is rendered with precision and durability in mind.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is particularly well-suited for the hospitality and corporate sectors, where staff need to look smart while remaining active. It is an ideal choice for front-of-house teams, retail staff, and sales representatives. Its robust construction also makes it a viable option for lighter trade duties where a professional, non-industrial look is required.

Practical Advice
With a size range from Small to 3XL, the KK409 offers an inclusive fit for the whole team. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend choosing your standard size for a classic, comfortable fit. The polycotton fabric has minimal shrinkage, but layering over a base layer in cooler months is easily accommodated by the generous cut.
Caring for your product
To ensure your polo shirt and custom branding maintain their high standards, proper maintenance is essential. We recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a delicate cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without compromising the polyester fibres or the integrity of your embroidered logo.
Bleaching agents must be avoided entirely. Chlorine and oxygen-based bleaches can degrade the fabric's colour and weaken the synthetic fibres, leading to premature wear and a dull appearance. Similarly, dry cleaning is not recommended as the harsh chemicals can interfere with the adhesives used in printed transfers.
This garment should not be tumble dried. High heat can cause the fabric to shrink unevenly and may damage the fine detailing of the tipped collar. Instead, air dry the polo to preserve its shape. When ironing, use a low heat setting (one dot) and avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered areas to prevent melting or distorting the branding.
