Product Overview
The Premier Microcheck (Gingham) short sleeve cotton shirt is a sophisticated alternative to standard plain workwear, offering a contemporary aesthetic without sacrificing professionalism. This semi-fitted garment features a classic two-colour gingham pattern that bridges the gap between casual comfort and formal business requirements. Crafted from 100% cotton, it provides a breathable and soft touch against the skin, making it an ideal choice for demanding environments where maintaining a sharp appearance is as important as personal comfort.
Key Features
The soft collar styling provides a relaxed yet structured look, ensuring the shirt remains comfortable during long shifts while still looking professional under a jacket or alone.
A semi-fitted short sleeve design offers a modern silhouette that follows the body's natural lines without being restrictive, facilitating ease of movement.
The yarn-dyed microcheck pattern ensures the colour remains consistent throughout the life of the garment, resisting the fading often seen in printed fabrics.
Design & Performance
Constructed from yarn-dyed poplin, this shirt is engineered for both durability and a high-quality finish. The lightweight fabric ensures excellent breathability, which is particularly beneficial in busy hospitality environments or during warmer weather. Because the fabric is 100% cotton, it allows moisture to wick away from the body naturally, keeping the wearer cool and dry. The poplin weave provides a smooth surface that is resistant to pilling, ensuring the garment retains its professional finish after repeated laundering.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for those seeking a traditional, professional look; it is particularly suited for intricate company logos or individual names on the chest. The dense weave of the cotton poplin supports the stitches effectively, ensuring a crisp, long-lasting finish.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note the semi-fitted nature of this shirt. It is designed to be more tailored than a standard fit, so if you prefer a roomier feel, you may wish to consider sizing up. This shirt layers exceptionally well under knitwear or tailored waistcoats, and the short sleeves make it a practical choice for those who find long sleeves cumbersome in active roles.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment maintains its shape and colour vibrancy, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime and perspiration while protecting the natural cotton fibres from excessive heat damage.
It is important to avoid over-drying the shirt, as this can lead to brittle fibres and make ironing more difficult. Instead, remove the garment while slightly damp or hang it to air dry naturally. This preserves the integrity of the yarn-dyed poplin and ensures your custom branding remains in peak condition.
