Product Overview
The Premier PR320 Women's Microcheck (Gingham) long sleeve cotton shirt is a sophisticated evolution of the traditional corporate blouse. Designed to meet the demands of a modern professional environment, this shirt introduces a classic Gingham pattern that balances a relaxed aesthetic with a sharp, business-ready silhouette. Crafted from 100% cotton yarn-dyed poplin, it offers a soft-to-the-touch feel that remains breathable throughout a busy working day.
Key Features
- Tailored Fitted Style: Cut specifically to follow a feminine silhouette, this fitted design provides a polished appearance without the excess fabric found in standard cuts.
- Soft Collar Styling: The contemporary soft collar offers a less rigid alternative to traditional stiff collars, providing comfort while maintaining a professional appearance.
- Precision Darts: Integrated bust and back darts ensure the garment maintains its shape and provides a flatteringly close fit that moves with the wearer.
- Double Buttoned Cuffs: These provide a secure and adjustable fit at the wrist, allowing for personal preference in styling and comfort.
- Back Yoke: The addition of a back yoke provides essential structural support across the shoulders, increasing the longevity of the shirt in high-stress areas.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of the PR320 lies in its yarn-dyed poplin construction. Unlike printed patterns which can fade or peel over time, the Gingham design is woven into the fabric itself using dyed yarns. This ensures the colour depth remains consistent even after frequent domestic laundering. The lightweight nature of the cotton poplin makes it an ideal choice for indoor environments, providing excellent moisture-wicking properties and natural temperature regulation.
Furthermore, the inclusion of bust and back darts is a mark of a well-engineered garment, preventing the 'tenting' effect often seen in lesser-quality workwear and ensuring the professional look is maintained from the start of the shift to the end.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both embroidery and print, allowing for a versatile approach to company branding. For a superior, high-end finish, we recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford uses precision machinery to stitch logos directly onto the cotton, which works exceptionally well on the Gingham weave for names or corporate insignia.
If your branding requires a larger or more vibrant application, our printing services provide a crisp, durable finish. Since 1976, we have been perfecting our customisation techniques, ensuring that whether you choose print or embroidery, your branding will be applied to the highest professional standards.
Use Cases
The PR320 is a versatile essential for various industries. It is particularly popular within the hospitality sector for front-of-house staff who require a smart-casual balance. It is also an excellent choice for corporate office environments, retail management, and client-facing professional services where a modern, approachable uniform is desired.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, we recommend checking our size guide (covering sizes 8 to 20) to ensure the most comfortable fit across the chest and shoulders. The lightweight cotton fabric also makes this shirt an ideal base layer, sitting comfortably under a tailored blazer or a V-neck knitwear piece for a layered professional look.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of the yarn-dyed pattern, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes everyday stains while preventing the heat damage that can lead to fabric shrinkage or loss of shape.
Proper laundering is also essential for the longevity of your custom branding. By following the 40°C guideline, you ensure that embroidery remains taut and printed designs stay bonded to the fabric, preserving your professional appearance for the long term.
