Key Features

- Pre-Washed Fabric: This ensures the garment retains its shape and fit after the first wash, preventing the frustration of shrinkage.
- Lightweight Construction: Provides ease of movement and makes it an ideal choice for layering under sweatshirts or jackets without adding bulk.
- Durable Finish: Designed specifically for the demands of the workplace, offering a balance between comfort and longevity.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is designed with practicality in mind. The use of a lightweight jersey fabric allows for excellent air circulation, which is essential for maintaining a comfortable body temperature while working. Despite its light feel, the fabric is robust enough to withstand the daily rigours of various work environments. The pre-washing process is a critical technical step that stabilises the cotton fibres, ensuring that the 4XL fit you order is the fit you keep.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The ES1 Essential T-shirt is an excellent canvas for showcasing your brand. For a professional and sophisticated look, we recommend embroidery, which is ideal for company logos or individual staff names on the chest. If your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics on the back or front, our high-quality printing services provide a bold and clear finish.
All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. With our heritage dating back to 1976, we have the technical knowledge to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the fabric while ensuring your team looks unified.

Practical Advice
As this is a lightweight t-shirt, it excels as a base layer. For outdoor work or cooler mornings, we recommend pairing it with a medium-weight sweatshirt or a softshell jacket. When choosing your size, remember that the pre-washed fabric offers a more stable fit compared to unwashed cotton garments.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your workwear, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at this temperature effectively removes dirt and sweat while protecting the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of your custom branding.
You should not use bleach on this garment. Harsh chemical bleaching will degrade the natural cotton fibres, leading to premature thinning of the fabric and significant fading of the black colour.
This t-shirt must not be tumble dried. To prevent shrinkage and preserve the original shape of the garment, it should be line dried. Exposure to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the jersey knit to tighten and distort over time.
When ironing, please use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C. This ensures a professional, crisp finish without scorching the fabric. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical solvents used in the process can be too aggressive for the 100% cotton construction.
