Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this shirt is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance. The poplin weave provides a smooth, fine surface that is both soft to the touch and resilient against the rigours of daily wear. By blending synthetic and natural fibres, the garment benefits from the breathability of cotton and the crease-resistant properties of polyester. This ensures the wearer remains comfortable and looks crisp from the start of their shift until the end.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine, tight weave of the polycotton poplin makes this shirt an exceptional candidate for customisation. For a traditional and high-end professional look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses state-of-the-art machinery to ensure your company logo is rendered with precision and longevity. Alternatively, for larger or more complex graphic designs, print provides a vibrant finish that stands out clearly against the fabric. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has the heritage and expertise to ensure your branding is applied to the highest standard.

Practical Advice
This shirt is designed with a lightweight fabric, making it an excellent layering piece. During cooler months, it sits comfortably under a blazer or a V-neck jumper without adding bulk. We recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure a correct fit across the shoulders and bust, which will help maintain the professional drape of the garment.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment continues to look its best and provides a long service life, proper care is essential. Maintaining the fabric's integrity will keep the easycare properties functioning correctly and ensure your branding remains clear.
We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove daily grime while being gentle enough to prevent the polyester-cotton fibres from degrading prematurely, helping the shirt retain its shape and colour.
The shirt is suitable for tumble drying on a low-to-medium heat setting. Removing the garment promptly from the dryer will take advantage of the easycare finish, significantly reducing the amount of ironing required to achieve a crisp, professional finish.
