Product Overview
The Premier Essential unisex short sleeve workwear polo shirt is a robust and reliable choice for professionals who require a garment that can withstand the rigours of daily labour while maintaining a sharp appearance. Engineered for longevity, this heavyweight polo shirt is particularly well-suited for industries where hygiene and garment integrity are paramount, such as food processing or busy hospitality environments. The inclusion of antimicrobial fabric protection is a standout technical feature, designed specifically to prevent fabric degradation and maintain freshness throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Antimicrobial Fabric Protection: This integrated treatment helps prevent the growth of microbes, which not only assists in odour control but also extends the life of the garment by preventing fabric breakdown.
- Extra Body Length: The extended length provides essential coverage during physical tasks involving bending or reaching, ensuring the professional appearance is maintained regardless of movement.
- Ribbed Knit Collar and Cuffs: These reinforced elements ensure the garment retains its shape after repeated wear and washing, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior alternatives.
- Three-Button Placket: This classic design feature offers a versatile smart-casual look suitable for various staff roles across multiple industries.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial polycotton blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this polo shirt balances the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. This specific composition is chosen for its ability to withstand frequent, high-temperature laundering while resisting creases and maintaining its structural integrity. The heavyweight nature of the fabric ensures it is a sturdy option for those in more demanding physical roles, providing a sense of quality and protection that lightweight alternatives lack.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable, heavyweight fabric of the Premier PR995 makes it an excellent canvas for customisation. For those seeking a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is recommended for chest logos or staff names, providing a textured, professional aesthetic that stands up well to frequent washing. Alternatively, for larger or more complex graphics, our high-quality printing process provides a bold and vibrant finish. Our expert team in Telford, with experience dating back to 1976, ensures that every application is executed with technical precision.
Use Cases
Given its antimicrobial properties and high-temperature wash capability, this polo shirt is an ideal choice for the hospitality sector, food processing facilities, and general trade environments. Its unisex fit and wide size range from Small to 4XL make it a versatile solution for outfitting diverse teams, ensuring a uniform look across the entire workforce.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that this garment features an extra-long body length, which is particularly beneficial if you often find standard polo shirts untucking during active work. The unisex cut is designed to be accommodating for all body types, with sizes available up to 4XL to ensure every member of your team has a comfortable fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and antimicrobial properties of this polo shirt, it should be laundered at 60°C. This higher temperature is necessary to effectively remove industrial soiling and ensure the highest standards of hygiene are met, particularly in food-sensitive environments.
Regular washing at the recommended temperature will not only keep the garment clean but also ensures the antimicrobial treatment remains effective. Failure to follow these temperature guidelines may result in inadequate cleaning and could potentially affect the longevity of the custom branding applied to the fabric.
