Product Overview
The Premier Women's banded collar 'grandad' shirt is a sophisticated departure from standard corporate uniform options, designed specifically for the demanding hospitality and service sectors. Featuring a distinctive narrow banded collar that fastens neatly at the front, this garment offers a clean, contemporary silhouette that immediately elevates a professional wardrobe. Its lightweight construction and tailored feminine fit make it an essential choice for staff who require both style and physical comfort during long, active shifts.
Key Features
- The classic banded ‘Grandad’ collar provides a unique, modern alternative to traditional collars, offering a smart-casual aesthetic that is increasingly popular in contemporary hospitality environments.
- Double-button cuffs and an integrated sleeve guard allow for versatility, giving the wearer the option of a formal look or a more casual rollback for hands-on tasks.
- The inclusion of bust and back darts ensures a contoured, feminine fit that maintains its shape and looks professional throughout the day.
- A curved hem design ensures the shirt remains securely tucked in or provides a neat, finished appearance when worn over the waist of trousers or skirts.
- Pearlised buttons offer a subtle, high-quality finish that complements the garment's overall aesthetic.
Design & Performance
This shirt is engineered from a balanced blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific composition is favoured in workwear for its hybrid benefits: the polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, while the cotton ensures a soft, breathable feel against the skin. As a lightweight fabric, it is exceptionally well-suited for high-pressure environments like restaurants or bars where temperature regulation is critical to staff performance.
The technical construction, including the sewn-in tags and precise darting, reflects a commitment to garment longevity. The fabric’s weave is tight enough to maintain its structure through repeated wear, yet light enough to allow for a full range of movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-quality finish of this polyester-cotton blend makes it an ideal canvas for branding. We recommend embroidery for this style of shirt to achieve a prestigious, textured finish for company logos or staff names, typically positioned on the chest or the banded collar itself. Embroidery provides a durable solution that stands up well to the frequent laundering required in the hospitality industry.
For more expansive or graphic-heavy designs, our printing process delivers sharp, vibrant results that effectively represent your brand identity. All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team has been refining their expertise since 1976 to ensure every garment meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
This shirt is a premier choice for front-of-house staff in bars, restaurants, and hotels seeking a modern, authoritative look. It is also well-suited for corporate events, boutique retail, and any environment where a 'smart-casual' uniform is required to convey a high level of service and professionalism.

Practical Advice
The shirt features a tailored fit; we recommend reviewing the sizing guide, which covers XS to 2XL, to ensure the best fit for your team. Due to the lightweight nature of the fabric, this shirt layers excellently under aprons or waistcoats without adding bulk, making it a versatile component for complex uniform sets.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance of this garment and protect your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective at removing common hospitality-related stains while ensuring the polyester-cotton fibres do not suffer from heat-related degradation.
Following this temperature guideline is crucial for preserving the integrity of any embroidery or print. High-temperature washing can lead to fabric shrinkage or the premature fading of logos. For the best results and to maintain the shirt's crisp finish, it should be ironed on a moderate setting after drying.
