Key Features
- Integrated neck tape ensures the wearer remains comfortable throughout the day and prevents the neckline from stretching out of shape over time.
- Classic style flat knit cuffs provide a secure fit on the arms, maintaining a neat appearance even during active tasks.
- Reinforced shoulder seams are designed to withstand the rigours of daily movement, preventing the garment from pulling apart at high-stress points.
- Side vents are incorporated into the hem to allow for a more forgiving fit and improved ease of movement when reaching or bending.
- A twin needle hem at the bottom provides additional stability to the garment's structure, ensuring it keeps its shape after numerous laundry cycles.
- A spare button is conveniently located in the side seam, providing a simple solution should an original button become damaged or lost.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its 100% ringspun cotton piqué fabric. Ringspun cotton is significantly more durable than standard carded cotton, as the spinning process twists the fibres together to create a stronger, smoother yarn. This results in a medium-weight fabric that feels substantial yet remains breathable, making it suitable for year-round wear in various UK climates.
The piqué weave provides a subtle texture that is synonymous with professional polo shirts. This specific knit not only enhances the garment's aesthetic appeal but also adds a layer of robustness. The inclusion of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 accreditation ensures that the materials used are free from harmful substances, reflecting a commitment to safety and quality in manufacturing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and choosing the right method depends on your branding requirements. Embroidery is highly recommended for this piqué fabric, as the dense weave supports intricate stitching beautifully. It provides a superior, raised finish for company logos or staff names, which is ideal for creating a professional and lasting impression.
For larger, more vibrant designs, our print services are equally effective. The smooth ringspun surface allows for high-quality ink adhesion. Our expert in-house team, based at our Telford facility since 1976, oversees every step of the customisation process to ensure your branding is executed with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is highly versatile and serves well in a variety of settings. It is particularly well-suited for corporate hospitality, retail environments, and site-based management where a smarter alternative to a standard T-shirt is required. Due to its reinforced construction, it is also a popular choice for light trade work where a professional appearance must be maintained alongside physical activity.

Practical Advice
With a sizing range spanning from XS to 4XL, this polo caters to a wide variety of team members. For those working in cooler environments, the medium-weight cotton layers comfortably under a sweatshirt or softshell jacket without adding unnecessary bulk. We recommend reviewing the chest measurements carefully to ensure a professional, tailored fit across your workforce.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your polo shirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Regular washing at this temperature ensures that dirt and oils are effectively removed without causing excessive wear to the cotton fibres or the custom branding.
Following these care instructions prevents the premature degradation of the ringspun yarns, ensuring the polo remains a staple of your work wardrobe for a longer period. Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can weaken the fabric and cause the colours of both the garment and your embroidered or printed logo to fade.
