Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Women's Poplin Shirt (KK241) is a refined, short-sleeved garment engineered for the modern professional environment. Combining a contemporary silhouette with the functional benefits of a classic poplin weave, this shirt offers a sophisticated appearance without compromising on daily practicality. The tailored design is specifically cut for the female form, ensuring a sharp, confident look across a wide range of industry sectors, from corporate offices to high-end hospitality environments.
Key Features
- Seven-Button Placket: Features a traditional seven-button front with self-coloured buttons, providing a secure, uniform closure that maintains a clean aesthetic throughout the day.
- Soft Stand-Up Collar: The fused collar is designed without stiffeners, offering a structured yet comfortable fit that stays in place without feeling restrictive.
- Easy-Iron Finish: The fabric is treated to resist excessive creasing, significantly reducing maintenance time and ensuring you remain presentable even during long shifts.
- Tailored Construction: Incorporates under-bust darts and back darts from the hem to the underarm point, creating a feminine, contoured fit that avoids the boxy shape of unisex alternatives.
- Durable Seams: Utilises double-stitched sleeves and side seams alongside single stitching around the armholes to provide long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton poplin, this shirt is designed for breathability and resilience. The poplin weave provides a smooth, flat surface that feels crisp against the skin while allowing for efficient airflow, making it an excellent choice for temperature-controlled indoor environments or warmer weather. The inclusion of a back yoke further enhances the garment's structure, allowing it to sit correctly across the shoulders and maintain its shape after repeated laundering.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, tight weave of this poplin fabric makes it an ideal surface for customisation. For those seeking a distinguished professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest or collar. The fabric's stability ensures that high-stitch-count designs remain crisp without puckering.
Alternatively, the flat surface is well-suited for various printing techniques, which are effective for larger, more vibrant branding requirements. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly half a century of experience to ensure your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
This shirt is a versatile essential for any business wardrobe. It is particularly well-suited for front-of-house hospitality roles, retail management, and corporate office environments where a consistent and polished team appearance is required. The short-sleeve design makes it a practical choice for active roles that require a professional edge without the restriction of full-length sleeves.

Practical Advice
This shirt is available in a comprehensive size range from 6 to 28, allowing for a consistent look across diverse teams. When selecting your size, consider the tailored nature of the darts; if you prefer a more relaxed fit for active tasks, you may wish to review the sizing guide to ensure optimal comfort. The rounded hem is designed to look equally professional whether tucked in or worn out.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the fabric and any custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a synthetic cycle. This temperature effectively removes daily grime without subjecting the polyester-cotton fibres to excessive heat, which can lead to premature wear.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemical agents will break down the fabric fibres and lead to significant colour fading. When drying, do not use a tumble dryer; the high heat and mechanical action can cause shrinkage and distort the tailored darts. Instead, we suggest reshaping the garment while it is still damp and allowing it to air dry.
For the best results, use a warm iron. This will easily remove any remaining wrinkles thanks to the easy-iron finish, ensuring the shirt remains crisp. Always wash dark colours together to prevent any potential dye transfer.
