Product Overview
The Russell Collection Long Sleeve Ultimate Stretch Shirt represents a sophisticated advancement in corporate attire. It is engineered for professionals who require a garment that maintains a crisp, sharp appearance from the first morning meeting through to the end of the working day. By utilizing specialized Elastomultiester Lycra T400 fibre, this shirt provides a subtle yet effective stretch that moves with the wearer without sacrificing its structured, business-like silhouette.
Key Features
- Superior Shape Retention: The advanced Lycra T400 fabric ensures the shirt returns to its original form, preventing the baggy elbows or loosened collars often seen in standard cotton alternatives.
- Moisture Management Technology: Integrated cooling properties help regulate body temperature and wick away moisture, keeping the wearer comfortable in high-pressure environments.
- Refined Design Details: Features such as the short leaf, semi-cutaway collar and narrow placket provide a modern, sophisticated aesthetic suitable for any formal setting.
- Versatile Cuffs: The square-edged cuffs include options for cuff links, allowing for a higher degree of formality when the occasion demands it.
- Tailored Fit: Integrated darts at the back create a fitted silhouette that looks professional both with and without a jacket.
Design & Performance
The technical core of this garment is the blend of 75% cotton and 25% Elastomultiester. This lightweight fabric composition is chosen for its ability to balance natural breathability with synthetic resilience. Unlike traditional stretch fabrics that may lose elasticity over time, the Lycra T400 fibre is specifically designed for durability and a lasting fit. The result is a resilient material that resists creasing and maintains a freshly-pressed appearance throughout a busy schedule.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an ideal canvas for both print and embroidery. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names on the chest or collar. The fabric's stable weave supports intricate stitch patterns without puckering, ensuring your branding remains clear and prestigious. If your branding requires a more striking, large-scale visual impact, our printing processes offer vibrant results. Every customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where our team has been perfecting workwear since 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for front-of-house hospitality roles, corporate office environments, and sales teams where a polished appearance is essential. Its moisture-wicking properties also make it an excellent choice for staff working in busy service environments who must maintain a formal look while remaining active throughout their shift.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted shirt, we recommend reviewing the sizing guide carefully; it is designed to sit closer to the body than a traditional classic-fit shirt. It layers exceptionally well under waistcoats or blazers due to the smooth fabric finish and back darts which reduce unnecessary bulk around the waist.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and professional appearance of the stretch fibres, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Regular washing at this temperature ensures the fabric remains hygienic without degrading the elastomultiester bonds that provide the stretch.
While this garment is suitable for tumble drying, it is imperative that you do not use fabric softeners. Softeners can coat the fibres, which interferes with the moisture management technology and may eventually compromise the fabric's signature shape retention properties.
