Product Overview
The Russell Collection Long Sleeve Polycotton Poplin Shirt is a sophisticated garment designed for the professional environment. Engineered from a fine poplin fabric, it strikes a perfect balance between a crisp, formal appearance and daily practicality. The "easycare" finish is a significant advantage for the busy professional, ensuring the shirt maintains its sharp look with minimal effort. Whether you are outfitting a corporate office or a high-end hospitality team, this shirt provides a consistent, high-quality foundation for your company uniform.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to tailor it to your brand's specific aesthetic. The elegant, lightweight fabric is particularly receptive to fine embroidery; the tight weave of the poplin allows for intricate logos and text to be rendered with high precision. For those seeking a larger or more vibrant graphic, our high-quality printing processes offer an excellent alternative. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by a team that has been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Key Features
- Classic style boned collar: The inclusion of collar bones ensures the collar remains stiff and retains its shape, preventing it from curling or flattening during the working day.
- Rounded 2-button adjustable cuffs: These allow for a personalised fit around the wrist, with an additional button on the cuff gauntlet to maintain a neat and closed appearance.
- Back yoke with two side pleats: These pleats provide essential extra room across the back and shoulders, allowing for a better range of motion and increased comfort during active tasks.
- Left chest pocket with mitred edge: A functional addition that offers a convenient storage point for small essentials while complementing the shirt's formal silhouette.
- Straight bottom hem: Provides a clean finish that looks professional whether the shirt is tucked in or, in more casual settings, worn out.
Design & Performance
The garment is constructed from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific ratio is chosen for its performance characteristics: the cotton provides a soft, breathable feel against the skin, while the polyester increases the fabric's durability and resistance to creasing. The poplin weave results in a lightweight fabric that is both durable and comfortable for long shifts. Furthermore, this shirt is accredited with Amfori BSCI and Oeko-Tex Standard 100, ensuring it meets rigorous ethical and environmental standards.
Use Cases
This shirt is a versatile choice for a variety of sectors. It is ideally suited for corporate office wear, hospitality management, and front-of-house roles where a polished first impression is vital. Given the wide size range from Small up to 4XL, it is an excellent option for large organisations looking to provide a uniform that accommodates all members of their team.

Practical Advice
The lightweight poplin fabric makes this shirt an excellent choice for year-round wear. It can be worn alone during the summer for breathability or layered under a sweater or suit jacket during the winter without feeling bulky. To ensure the best fit across your team, please refer to our sizing guide, which details collar measurements from 14.5 to 19.5 inches.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the garment and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend a domestic wash at 50°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without causing undue stress to the polycotton fibres.
This shirt is suitable for tumble drying, which helps to maintain its easycare properties. We suggest removing the shirt promptly from the dryer and hanging it immediately to minimise the need for ironing. Proper care ensures the fabric remains resilient and the colours stay vibrant over time.
