Design & Performance
Crafted from a balanced 65% polyester and 35% cotton plain weave, this shirt is designed for the rigours of daily wear. The polyester provides essential durability and colour retention, ensuring the shirt does not fade or lose its shape after repeated washing. Meanwhile, the cotton content ensures the fabric remains breathable and comfortable against the skin, which is vital for staff on their feet all day.
This is a lightweight fabric that does not feel restrictive. Its plain weave construction offers a smooth, uniform surface that feels soft to the touch while maintaining the structural integrity required for a workwear garment. The inclusion of an 'easycare' finish is a deliberate design choice to reduce the maintenance burden on the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine, flat surface of the poplin weave makes this shirt an exceptional candidate for customisation. For those seeking a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is the preferred option. Our team in Telford can expertly stitch your company logo or employee names directly onto the fabric, providing a tactile, high-quality appearance that lasts the lifetime of the garment.
If your branding requires large, bold graphics or vibrant colours, this shirt also takes print exceptionally well. Whether you choose embroidery for a subtle chest logo or print for a more modern look, all customisation is handled in-house by our expert team. We have been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your brand is represented with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This shirt is a versatile choice across multiple sectors. It is particularly well-suited for front-of-house staff in the hospitality industry, corporate office environments, and the retail sector. Its wide size range and colour variety make it a reliable option for outfitting large, diverse teams who require a unified and professional appearance.

Practical Advice
With a comprehensive size range from 14.5" to 23", we recommend measuring the neck circumference accurately to ensure the stiffened collar sits comfortably, especially if it is to be worn with a tie. For those working in layered environments, this lightweight shirt fits comfortably under a jumper or waistcoat without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of your shirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature effectively removes daily stains while protecting the polyester-cotton fibres from thermal damage.
It is important to wash dark colours separately. This prevents dye transfer, which can occur during the wash cycle and cause lighter garments or embroidered logos to become discoloured.
We advise washing the shirt inside out. This simple step protects the outer face of the fabric and any custom print or embroidery from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, ensuring your branding remains sharp and vibrant for longer.
