Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Contrast T-Shirt S/S is a purposefully engineered garment designed for professionals who require high visibility without sacrificing comfort. This short-sleeved t-shirt features a distinct two-tone design, combining high-visibility orange with a navy contrast panel. The generous fit is a deliberate design choice, ensuring that the wearer has a full range of movement when performing manual tasks or operating machinery.
Key Features
- Generous fit: Provides ample space for movement, ensuring that the garment does not restrict the wearer during physical activity.
- Standard reflective tape configuration: Uses high-specification reflective strips to ensure maximum visibility and safety in low-light environments.
- Two-tone contrast design: The navy panels are positioned to help conceal dirt and grime, keeping the garment looking professional for longer.
- Bird Eye Knit fabric: This technical weave enhances breathability and moisture-wicking properties, making it suitable for long shifts.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is constructed from 100% Polyester Bird Eye Knit. This specific fabric choice is essential for workwear as it is lightweight and highly breathable. The Bird Eye construction creates a subtle textured surface that allows air to circulate more freely against the skin, which helps regulate body temperature during strenuous activity. Unlike standard cotton shirts, this polyester knit is designed to be durable and resistant to the typical wear and tear of a construction or logistics environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety wear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is an excellent choice for adding company logos or individual names, providing a textured and highly professional appearance that withstands frequent laundering. For larger, high-impact branding or safety messaging, our high-quality print process ensures designs remain bold and legible. Every customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on our expertise established in 1976.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is ideal for personnel working in construction, roadworks, warehousing, and transportation. It is particularly effective for outdoor workers during warmer months who require the safety of high-visibility clothing but need a lightweight, breathable alternative to heavy vests or jackets.

Practical Advice
Due to the generous fit of this t-shirt, it can comfortably be worn as a standalone piece or layered over a base layer during transitional weather. When selecting your size, consider that the extra room is intended to facilitate ease of movement while working.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures or using harsh cycles can prematurely degrade the polyester fibres and the reflective tape.
Bleaching must be avoided at all costs. Optical brighteners and bleach will damage the fluorescent dyes in the fabric, significantly reducing the garment's visibility and safety rating.
This t-shirt should be line dried rather than tumble dried. Excessive heat from a dryer can cause the reflective tape to peel or crack and may lead to fabric shrinkage. For the same reason, this garment should not be ironed, as direct heat will damage the synthetic fabric and the reflective elements.
Please note that this garment has a maximum limit of 50 washes. Beyond this point, the reflective and fluorescent properties may no longer meet the required safety standards, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
