Product Overview
The SF SFM42 Short Sleeve Stretch Polo is a refined interpretation of the classic workwear essential, engineered for those who require a garment that moves with them. Designed with a contemporary slim fit, this polo transitions seamlessly from client meetings to active site visits. The inclusion of elastane within the micro pique weave provides a level of flexibility and shape retention that standard cotton polos simply cannot match, ensuring you maintain a sharp, professional profile throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Modern 2-button placket: Features a self-fabric collar and self-coloured buttons for a streamlined, understated aesthetic that suits a wide variety of corporate identities.
- Slim-fit silhouette: Provides a tailored appearance that reduces excess fabric, creating a more professional and modern look.
- Integrated side vents: These allow for a greater range of movement at the hip, preventing the garment from riding up or pulling when you are active.
- Tear-out tag: Ideal for businesses looking to rebrand garments internally without the irritation of original manufacturer labels.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the SFM42. The fabric is a medium-weight micro pique, blending 96% cotton for natural breathability with 4% elastane for essential stretch. This composition is specifically chosen to ensure the garment maintains its structure and fit after repeated wear and industrial cycles. Unlike heavier, bulkier shirts, this polo offers a soft, smooth texture against the skin, making it a comfortable choice for long shifts in temperature-controlled environments or during the warmer months.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent candidate for customisation, which we handle entirely in-house at our Telford facility. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; the micro pique fabric provides a stable base for high-density stitching. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality print processes are equally effective on this smooth cotton-blend surface.
Use Cases
The SFM42 is perfectly suited for modern retail environments, hospitality staff, and corporate teams who want to bridge the gap between casual and formal. Its stretch properties also make it a sensible choice for technical roles that require a professional appearance without sacrificing mobility.

Practical Advice
Available in a size range from S to 2XL, this polo features a slim-fit cut. If you prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, we suggest considering one size larger than your usual measurement. The elastane provides significant stretch, so it will accommodate movement even when worn as a base layer under a jumper or softshell jacket.
Caring for your product
To preserve the shape-retention properties of the elastane and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. Using higher temperatures may degrade the elastic fibres over time, leading to a loss of fit.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the fabric integrity and cause discolouration of both the garment and your logo. This polo should not be tumble dried; instead, reshape it while damp and allow it to dry naturally out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse of any decoration to protect the print or embroidery from heat damage.
