Product Overview
The Premier PR244 is a sophisticated long-sleeve shirt designed for the modern professional who requires both a sharp silhouette and freedom of movement. By blending high-quality cotton with a touch of elastane, Premier has created a garment that offers a fitted, contemporary aesthetic without the restrictive feel often associated with traditional formal shirts. The poplin weave provides a smooth, crisp finish that looks exceptional in a variety of professional environments, from the boardroom to the front-of-house hospitality floor.
Key Features
- Stiffened Cutaway Collar: This design ensures the collar retains its shape throughout the working day, providing a versatile look that accommodates a tie for formal duties or can be worn open for a more relaxed, modern appearance.
- Adjustable Double-Button Cuffs: The inclusion of dual buttons allows for a precise fit around the wrist, while the single button sleeve guard provides the flexibility to roll back the sleeves neatly when the task at hand becomes more hands-on.
- Grown-on Placket: This construction detail offers a clean, streamlined finish to the front of the shirt, enhancing the professional profile of the wearer.
- Fitted Silhouette: Tailored to follow the lines of the body, this style eliminates excess fabric for a sleek appearance that fits comfortably under a blazer or waistcoat.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of this shirt lies in its fabric composition. The 97% cotton base ensures maximum breathability and a soft touch against the skin, which is vital for long shifts in temperature-controlled or fast-paced environments. The addition of 3% elastane is the secret to its performance; it provides a multi-directional stretch that allows the shirt to move with the wearer rather than resisting against them. This lightweight fabric is engineered to be durable yet comfortable, ensuring that the garment remains a staple of your professional wardrobe for a significant duration.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and choosing the right method depends on your branding goals. For a truly authoritative and traditional look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses high-precision machinery to stitch your logo directly into the poplin fabric, creating a durable and high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering.
If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or complex gradients, our printing services are ideal. Because we have been handling workwear customisation since 1976, we understand exactly how to apply these techniques to stretch-fit fabrics to ensure the branding does not crack or peel when the fabric expands. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford to ensure the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
The PR244 is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house staff. Its blend of formal styling and practical stretch also makes it a preferred choice for estate agents and retail professionals who need to maintain a superior appearance while remaining active throughout the day.

Practical Advice
This is a fitted style, so if you prefer a more generous cut or intend to wear a thermal base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider sizing up. The extensive size range from XS to 4XL ensures that a consistent brand image can be maintained across your entire team, regardless of their build.
Caring for your product
To ensure your shirt and custom branding maintain their professional appearance, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without causing undue stress to the elastane fibres or the integrity of your embroidered logo.
Always wash dark colours separately and turn the garment inside out before placing it in the machine. Washing inside out protects the outer surface of the fabric and any printed designs from the abrasive action of the wash cycle, preventing premature fading or wear.
Do not soak the garment and avoid dry cleaning, as the harsh chemicals used in the dry-cleaning process can degrade the elastane and damage custom prints. Following these instructions will ensure your garment remains a core part of your professional attire for as long as possible.
