Product Overview
The Ladies Oriole Wicking Poloshirt is a performance-engineered garment designed to provide a professional appearance while maintaining comfort during physically demanding tasks. Specifically tailored for a female fit, this poloshirt moves away from the traditional heavy cotton construction in favour of a technical, lightweight fabric designed to manage moisture effectively. It serves as an essential piece of workwear for individuals who require a smart aesthetic but need the performance characteristics of sportswear.
Key Features
- Advanced Wicking Technology: The technical fabric is engineered to pull moisture away from the skin to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly. This keeps the wearer dry and comfortable even during high-intensity activity.
- Tailored Female Fit: Designed specifically for the female form, this poloshirt provides a flattering and comfortable silhouette that allows for a full range of movement without excess fabric.
- Ribbed Knit Collar and Cuffs: The structured collar and cuffs ensure the garment retains its shape over time, preventing the sagging or curling that can occur with lower-quality alternatives.
- Three-Button Placket: The classic placket design allows for adjustable ventilation and a traditional professional look suitable for client-facing roles.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight synthetic fabric, the Oriole Poloshirt is built for endurance and ease of maintenance. The primary performance benefit lies in its breathability; unlike natural fibres that can become heavy and cold when damp, this material remains light and dries rapidly. The fabric's weave is fine and smooth, providing a sleek surface that is particularly well-suited for high-definition branding. It is a durable choice for environments where physical activity is frequent, such as facilities management, hospitality, or active trade roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor the finish to your specific branding requirements. Embroidery is particularly recommended for those seeking a high-end professional appearance; our precision machinery creates durable, textured logos that withstand the rigours of the working day. For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing process provides a crisp, bold finish that adheres perfectly to the technical fabric. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where our team—backed by expertise dating back to 1976—ensures every stitch and print meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This poloshirt is ideal for professionals working in climates or environments where temperature regulation is a priority. It is perfectly suited for gym staff, event coordinators, delivery personnel, and healthcare professionals who require a uniform that works as hard as they do. The black colourway provides a versatile, neutral base that fits seamlessly into most corporate identities while effectively hiding minor marks during the workday.

Practical Advice
This poloshirt is a Size 8 and features a feminine, tailored cut. For those who prefer a looser fit or intend to wear a thermal base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider the next size up. Its lightweight nature makes it an excellent layering piece, fitting comfortably under a softshell jacket or fleece without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and longevity of your wicking poloshirt, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Regular maintenance ensures the moisture-wicking properties remain effective and your custom branding stays intact.
We recommend washing this garment at moderate temperatures. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibres and may cause custom print designs to degrade or peel over time. Always wash similar colours together to prevent any potential dye transfer, which can dull the professional appearance of the black fabric.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibres and significantly reduce the garment's ability to wick moisture away from the body. Air drying is preferable; high heat in a tumble dryer can lead to shrinkage and may compromise the integrity of embroidered logos.
