Product Overview
This Kustom Kit long-sleeved shirt represents a modern take on corporate attire, featuring a sophisticated mandarin collar that sets it apart from standard collared garments. The tailored fit is designed specifically for a professional female silhouette, offering a clean and streamlined appearance that projects authority and style. By removing traditional collar points and incorporating a concealed button placket, this shirt provides a minimalist canvas that works exceptionally well across various service and business sectors.
Key Features
- Easy-iron finish: The fabric is engineered to resist deep creasing, ensuring you maintain a crisp, professional appearance throughout the working day with minimal maintenance required after washing.
- Concealed placket: The hidden buttons create a smooth, uninterrupted front, lending a sleek and contemporary feel to your corporate uniform.
- Tailored construction: Strategically placed darts at both the front and back ensure the shirt follows the body's natural lines for a refined and flattering fit.
- Adjustable cuffs: The single-button adjustable cuffs allow for a more personalised fit around the wrists, ensuring comfort and practicality during active shifts.
- Reinforced seams: Single-stitched armholes and double-stitched side and sleeve seams provide the structural integrity required for daily professional wear.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a refined blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton poplin, this shirt balances breathability with long-term durability. The lightweight fabric is ideal for indoor environments where temperature regulation and comfort are paramount. The poplin weave provides a smooth, soft-touch surface that feels comfortable against the skin, while the high polyester content ensures the garment retains its shape and colour vibrancy after repeated laundering.
The addition of a rounded hem allows the shirt to be worn tucked into trousers or a skirt for a formal look, or left out for a more relaxed, modern aesthetic. Every detail, from the soft fused collar to the inclusion of a spare button, has been considered to provide a garment that performs as well as it looks in a busy work environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, handled entirely by our expert team in Telford. For a refined professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. A small, detailed logo on the chest or even the mandarin collar itself provides a high-quality, permanent branding solution that withstands the rigours of commercial use.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics for a specific event or a bold retail identity, our high-quality printing processes are equally effective on this smooth poplin surface. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques to ensure your staff represent your business with absolute clarity.
Use Cases
The unique mandarin collar makes this shirt particularly suited for front-of-house hospitality roles, boutique retail, and contemporary corporate environments. It bridges the gap between traditional formal wear and modern casual styles, making it a versatile staple for any modern uniform programme.

Practical Advice
The tailored fit of this shirt is designed to be close to the body to create a sharp silhouette. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to wear a thermal base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider selecting one size up from your usual measurement. The mandarin collar is particularly effective when layered under a waistcoat or a tailored blazer, as it prevents the bulk often associated with traditional collars.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional finish of this shirt, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a mild detergent. Washing at higher temperatures may damage the polyester fibres and lead to premature wear or shrinkage.
It is essential to avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration to both the fabric and any custom embroidery. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the harsh chemicals involved can strip the easy-iron finish from the poplin.
We strongly advise against tumble drying. Instead, hang the shirt while damp to allow the easy-iron properties to work effectively, significantly reducing the time required for pressing. If ironing is necessary, use a medium heat (two-dot) setting. Applying excessive heat can scorch the synthetic fibres, leading to a permanent shiny effect on the fabric surface.
