Product Overview
The Premier PR246 is a sophisticated short-sleeve shirt designed for professionals who require a sharp, contemporary silhouette without compromising on daily comfort. By blending high-grade cotton with a hint of elastane, this garment offers a fitted style that moves with the wearer. The poplin weave provides a smooth, crisp finish that remains breathable throughout the working day, making it an essential component of a modern uniform.
Key Features
- Stretch-fit fabric: The inclusion of elastane ensures the shirt retains its tailored shape while allowing for a full range of movement across the chest and shoulders.
- Stiffened cutaway collar: This design provides a formal structure that holds its shape, whether worn with a tie or left open for a more relaxed professional appearance.
- Grown-on placket: This construction detail offers a clean, seamless front finish, enhancing the streamlined aesthetic of the fitted design.
- Short-sleeve design: Ideal for maintaining a professional look in warmer environments or for roles that require frequent physical activity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight poplin fabric, this shirt is engineered for durability and breathability. The 97% cotton content ensures a soft, natural feel against the skin, while the 3% elastane provides the necessary flexibility for active roles. The fitted cut reduces excess fabric, providing a more polished and professional appearance than traditional boxy shirts. Furthermore, the garment is backed by multiple accreditations, including Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and REACH, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and environmental standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, fine weave of this cotton-stretch poplin makes it an ideal surface for customisation. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos on the chest or collar. The fabric's stability ensures that intricate needlework remains crisp and secure.
Alternatively, the flat surface is well-suited to high-definition printing, which is particularly effective for larger branding on the back or sleeves. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, where we have been perfecting branding techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for the hospitality industry, front-of-house teams, and corporate office environments. Its blend of smart aesthetics and physical flexibility also makes it a popular choice for retail staff who need to look their best while remaining active on the shop floor.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, we recommend consulting the size guide carefully to ensure the best fit. If you prefer a more generous cut or are between sizes, you may find that opting for a size up provides a more comfortable experience. This shirt layers perfectly under a lightweight knit or blazer for a versatile year-round uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and ensure your branding remains vibrant, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature effectively removes stains without damaging the cotton fibres.
Always wash dark colours separately and turn the shirt inside out before washing. This protects the outer surface and any custom embroidery or print from the mechanical action of the washing machine.
Do not soak the garment and avoid dry cleaning. The chemicals used in dry cleaning can break down the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of elasticity and causing the shirt to lose its fitted shape over time.
