Product Overview
The Russell Europe Stretch Polo is a refined take on the classic workwear staple, designed for professionals who require a sharp, contemporary silhouette without sacrificing comfort. By incorporating Lycra into the weave, Russell Europe has engineered a polo shirt that offers a permanent, proper fit that moves with the wearer and maintains its shape throughout the working day. It is a sophisticated choice for businesses looking to project a modern image through a garment that feels as premium as it looks.
Key Features
- The slim-fit cut provides a modern, tailored appearance that avoids the bulk of traditional polo shirts, ensuring a professional profile for your team.
- A blend of 95% cotton and 5% Lycra delivers a beautifully soft hand feel, making it exceptionally comfortable for extended periods of wear.
- The short leaf collar and contrast buttons add subtle, stylish details that elevate the garment above standard, basic options.
- A strip of self-colour fabric along the shoulder seam provides extra stability and structural integrity in a high-stress area, preventing the garment from losing its shape.
- Shorter side vents with herringbone tape allow for better movement and a cleaner drape when worn, whether tucked in or left out.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is centred around the inclusion of official Lycra fibres. Unlike standard cotton shirts that can stretch out and become baggy over time, the elastic properties of this medium-weight fabric ensure the garment returns to its original form wash after wash. The fabric weight provides enough substance for durability while remaining breathable and soft against the skin. The contemporary styling is matched by technical construction, ensuring the polo remains a reliable part of your uniform for the long term.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options depending on your corporate requirements. For a formal and enduring look, our embroidery service is recommended for company logos on the chest or sleeve; the fabric’s stretch content provides a stable base that supports detailed stitching without puckering.
If your branding involves larger graphics or bold promotional designs, our high-quality printing techniques are equally effective. Managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, we ensure that every customisation is applied with precision, maintaining the garment's professional appearance while ensuring your brand is clearly represented. Since 1976, we have understood that your logo is your reputation, and we treat it with the necessary respect.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is specifically designed for environments where a smart-casual appearance is paramount. It is an excellent choice for front-of-house staff, sales representatives, or management teams who need to balance professionalism with physical activity. Its activewear-inspired fit also makes it suitable for the leisure and hospitality sectors, where staff need to remain comfortable and well-presented throughout long shifts.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment, it is designed to sit closer to the body for a modern look. If you or your team prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, we recommend considering one size larger than your usual measurement. The stretch fabric also makes it an excellent choice for layering under a softshell jacket or jumper without adding unnecessary bulk to your outfit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and fit of the Lycra fibres, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without compromising the elasticity of the fabric or the vibrancy of your custom branding.
This garment is suitable for tumble drying, which can help maintain its soft hand feel. However, we advise against using excessive heat settings, as this can eventually degrade the Lycra fibres over time, potentially leading to a loss of the garment's shape-retention properties.
