Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Women's St Mellion polo is a medium-weight garment designed for professionals who require a step up from the standard uniform. Crafted from 100% combed cotton piqué, this classic-fit polo combines the natural breathability of high-quality cotton with distinctive contrast detailing on the collar, cuffs, and placket. It is a refined choice for teams looking to project a polished and coordinated appearance without sacrificing comfort.
Key Features
- Contrast stripe 1x1 rib flat knit collar and cuffs provide a structured look that resists curling over time, ensuring a sharp professional appearance.
- Taped shoulder seams and a taped back neck provide essential reinforcement, ensuring the garment maintains its shape even after repeated wears and washes.
- Double-stitched shoulders, armholes, and cuffs offer superior structural integrity, preventing seams from failing under the daily stresses of a busy working environment.
- Contrast herringbone taped side vents allow for an improved range of movement and a more comfortable fit around the hips when active.
- A three-button slanted top placket featuring horn-effect buttons adds a sophisticated, retail-inspired finish that distinguishes it from basic workwear.
Design & Performance
Performance in a professional setting is about both longevity and presentation. The 100% combed cotton piqué fabric provides a substantial feel while remaining soft against the skin. Unlike standard cotton, the combing process removes shorter fibres, resulting in a smoother, stronger yarn that is less prone to pilling. The classic fit is designed to provide a professional silhouette that accommodates various body types comfortably throughout a long shift. The inclusion of a half-moon yoke on the back adds a touch of tailoring that enhances the garment's structure.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The St Mellion polo is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this style, as the piqué weave provides a stable base for intricate company logos or staff names, delivering a traditional, high-end professional appearance. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, our high-quality printing techniques are equally effective on this smooth cotton surface. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of expertise since 1976.
Use Cases
This polo is ideally suited for hospitality environments, front-of-house roles, and corporate events where a coordinated, smart-casual aesthetic is required. Its durable construction also makes it a practical choice for management staff in trade and retail sectors who need to move between the office and the shop floor while maintaining a superior professional standard.

Practical Advice
The St Mellion polo is available in a comprehensive range of sizes from 8 to 20. We recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team. The medium-weight fabric makes it a versatile layering piece; it sits comfortably under a blazer for a formal look or can be worn alone during warmer months due to its breathable cotton construction.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-quality finish and structural integrity of your polo, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove daily grime while being gentle enough to preserve the vibrancy of the contrast detailing and any custom branding.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration to the contrast stripes and base fabric. Similarly, the garment should not be dry cleaned, as harsh chemical solvents can damage the fabric's natural feel and affect the longevity of your logo.
To prevent shrinkage and maintain the polo's shape, do not tumble dry. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry naturally. For a crisp, professional appearance, use a two-dot iron. Regular ironing helps reset the knit structure and keeps the 1x1 rib collar and cuffs looking sharp and well-defined.
