Product Overview
The Pro long sleeve polo is a strategic addition to any professional uniform, particularly as the seasons shift and the temperature begins to drop. Designed with the same exacting standards and reliable fit as the best-selling RX101, this garment provides the extra coverage required for cooler environments without sacrificing the professional silhouette of a traditional polo shirt. It serves as an essential bridge between casual wear and formal workwear, ensuring your team remains comfortable and presentable throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Long sleeve with cuffed hem: The cuffed sleeves provide a secure fit at the wrist, preventing sleeves from interfering with manual tasks and helping to retain body heat in colder conditions.
- Twin-needle stitching: This reinforced stitching technique is applied across the garment to enhance durability and ensure the polo maintains its structural integrity even under the strain of daily physical work.
- Self-coloured taped neck: The internal neck tape provides extra comfort against the skin and prevents the neckline from stretching out of shape over time.
- Ribbed collar: The collar is designed to hold its shape, providing a crisp, professional appearance that does not curl or sag after repeated wear.
- Three-button placket: Features three self-coloured buttons and includes a spare, allowing for adjustable ventilation and a classic aesthetic.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a balanced blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, this medium-weight fabric offers the best of both worlds: the natural breathability and softness of cotton paired with the hard-wearing, crease-resistant properties of polyester. The fabric is specifically chosen for its resilience in industrial environments, offering a soft feel against the skin while remaining tough enough to withstand the rigours of a busy workplace.
The garment's performance is further enhanced by its ability to withstand frequent laundering. The polycotton mix ensures that the polo maintains its colour vibrancy and shape, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses looking for longevity in their corporate clothing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This long-sleeve polo is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing for flexible branding options. For a traditional and highly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos and staff names, providing a durable, textured look that withstands the test of time. For larger, more impactful designs or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing processes offer a sharp and vibrant finish.
All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford. Having been established in 1976, we have the technical knowledge to ensure your branding is applied with precision, regardless of the complexity of the design.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for professionals in the trade, construction, and hospitality sectors who require a uniform that can transition from outdoor site visits to indoor meetings. Its smart-casual appearance also makes it a popular choice for delivery drivers, warehouse staff, and technical engineers who need a durable layer that looks superior to a standard t-shirt.

Practical Advice
The Pro long sleeve polo is available in an inclusive size range from Small to 4XL. For those working in varied environments, this polo works exceptionally well as a mid-layer. It can be worn comfortably over a base layer for added warmth or underneath a high-visibility waistcoat or heavy-duty jacket without feeling restrictive. We recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit for all team members.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and technical integrity of your polo shirt, we recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This temperature is effective at removing common workplace stains and oils while ensuring the polycotton fibres remain stable. Using a higher temperature than recommended may cause premature wear to the fabric and any applied branding.
Bleaching agents should be strictly avoided. Chlorine and other harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the cotton to lose its colour, leading to a patchy and unprofessional appearance.
When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer. Excessive heat during the drying cycle can lead to shrinkage and may damage the adhesive used in printed designs. For the best results, remove the garment while slightly damp and hang to finish drying.
If ironing is required, use a medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed or embroidered areas, as direct heat can melt print films or distort the embroidery thread. Turning the garment inside out before ironing is a safe way to remove wrinkles without risking damage to your logo.
Do not dry clean this garment. The solvents used in the dry cleaning process are unnecessary for this fabric blend and can interfere with the durability of your customisations.
