Product Overview
The Genoa Long Sleeved Polo Shirt is a robust and sophisticated garment designed for those who require full upper body coverage without sacrificing a professional appearance. Engineered for both comfort and longevity, this polo shirt serves as a reliable staple for various work environments, bridging the gap between casual attire and formal uniforms.
Key Features
- Rib Knitted Collar and Cuffs: These provide a structured fit that retains its shape even after repeated wear, ensuring you remain presentable throughout the working day.
- Three-Button Placket with Matching Buttons: This classic design element allows for adjustable ventilation and a refined aesthetic that complements the overall garment colour.
- Long Sleeved Design: Offers enhanced protection and warmth for the arms, making it an ideal choice for cooler environments or transitional seasons.
- Heavyweight Polyester-Cotton Mix: The selection of a substantial fabric blend ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily professional use while maintaining its integrity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend, the Genoa Polo Shirt is designed for performance. The polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, which is vital for maintaining a sharp look during long shifts. Meanwhile, the cotton content ensures the fabric remains breathable and soft against the skin, preventing the irritation often associated with purely synthetic materials. As a heavyweight garment, it offers a sturdy feel that provides confidence in its long-term wearability.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable weave of the Genoa Long Sleeved Polo makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, as the substantial fabric supports dense stitching for a superior, textured finish. For larger, high-impact branding or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing processes offer vibrant results. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is particularly well-suited for professionals in logistics, facility management, or site supervision. It provides a more formal alternative to a standard t-shirt while offering more protection than a short-sleeved polo. It is equally at home in a warehouse or during a client-facing meeting, making it a versatile addition to any staff uniform.

Practical Advice
Given the heavyweight nature of this polo shirt, it functions effectively as a standalone top during the autumn and spring. In colder winter months, its slim placket and classic collar allow it to sit comfortably beneath a jumper or a technical work jacket without creating unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of your garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is effective for removing stubborn work-related stains while ensuring the polyester-cotton blend does not degrade prematurely.
It is important to avoid the use of bleach, as this will compromise the deep black colour of the fabric and weaken the fibres. This garment should not be tumble dried; instead, we advise line drying. Avoiding the high heat of a tumble dryer prevents unwanted shrinkage and keeps the rib-knitted cuffs and collar in their original shape.
If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C. This ensures the fabric is smoothed without the risk of scorching the synthetic fibres. Finally, do not dry clean this product, as the chemical processes involved can be overly harsh on both the fabric and any applied custom branding.
