Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Portland shirt. The 100% Spano cotton is a lightweight fabric that offers exceptional breathability, making it an ideal choice for fast-paced office environments or hospitality settings. The unique finish of the fabric is the standout technical feature; by simply hanging the garment up to dry after washing, the fibres settle into a smooth, pressed state, virtually eliminating the need for high-heat pressing.
Beyond its crease-resistance, the shirt is built with durability and ethics in mind. The construction adheres to rigorous international standards, including Oeko-Tex and Amfori BSCI certifications, ensuring that the garment is produced responsibly. The feminine cut provides a structured yet flexible fit, allowing for ease of movement throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine weave of the Spano cotton makes the Portland shirt an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional and enduring corporate identity, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names to the chest or collar, providing a textured, premium finish that withstands regular laundering and maintains its sharp appearance.
While embroidery is often preferred for business shirts to achieve a sophisticated look, this garment also supports high-quality printing. This is particularly effective for larger branding on the back or sleeves if your business requires a bolder visual impact. Having operated since 1976, MyWorkwear ensures that every logo is applied with precision by our in-house experts.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, front-of-house hospitality roles, and premium event staff. Its non-iron properties make it a particularly wise choice for frequent business travellers who need to look professional immediately upon arrival at their destination.

Practical Advice
The Portland shirt is available in a broad size range from XS (UK 8) to 3XL (UK 20). For the best fit, we recommend consulting the specific size guide. Due to its lightweight fabric, it layers exceptionally well under blazers or knitwear without adding unnecessary bulk or restricting movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the non-iron performance of your Portland shirt, we recommend a domestic wash followed by immediate hanging. By hanging the shirt while damp, the weight of the water helps pull out any minor wrinkles, allowing the Spano cotton to dry to its intended smooth state and reducing the need for manual labour.
Avoid using harsh bleaching agents as these can degrade the cotton fibres and damage the technical non-iron finish, leading to a loss of both fabric strength and aesthetic quality over time. Similarly, if you choose to iron for a mirror-like finish, use a medium heat setting to protect the fabric's integrity and any applied customisation from heat damage.
