Product Overview
The SF Women's short sleeve stretch polo is a contemporary take on a workplace classic, specifically engineered for the modern professional who requires both style and flexibility. This garment moves away from the boxy, traditional polo silhouette in favour of a more tailored, feminine cut that maintains its shape throughout a busy shift. Its construction from micro pique fabric provides a smooth, refined finish that sits comfortably against the skin, making it an ideal base for any corporate or casual uniform.

Design & Performance
The performance of this polo lies in its sophisticated fabric blend. By combining high-quality cotton with a touch of elastane in a micro pique weave, SF has created a medium-weight garment that offers the breathability of natural fibres with the resilience of modern textiles. The micro pique texture is notably smoother than traditional pique, providing a superior surface for detailed customisation while remaining soft to the touch.
Durability is built into the design, from the hemmed sleeves to the self-fabric collar which resists curling. The contemporary cut is specifically tailored for the female form, ensuring that a professional appearance is never sacrificed for comfort. It is a robust garment that handles the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a sharp, professional aesthetic.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This stretch polo is a versatile canvas for both print and embroidery. Our expert team in Telford, with experience dating back to 1976, can help you decide which method best suits your branding requirements.
Embroidery is highly recommended for an authoritative, professional look. It is particularly effective on this micro pique fabric for breast logos or staff names, adding a tactile, high-quality finish that withstands repeated laundering. Because the fabric has a bit of stretch, our technicians use specific stabilisers to ensure your logo remains crisp and undistorted.
Print is an excellent choice for larger, more graphic designs, perhaps on the back of the polo. This method allows for bold colours and sharp lines that stand out in any environment. All customisation is handled in-house to ensure the highest standards are met before your order leaves our facility.
Use Cases
This polo is perfectly suited for front-of-house roles, hospitality staff, and corporate environments where a smart-casual appearance is required. Its flexible nature also makes it an excellent choice for beauty and wellness professionals or retail staff who are constantly on the move. Given its modern aesthetic, it is equally at home at promotional events or trade shows where representing your brand with a polished look is paramount.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment with a modern cut, we recommend reviewing our size guide carefully. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to layer it during colder months, you may wish to consider sizing up. The stretch fabric is forgiving, but the tailored silhouette is designed to be worn close to the body for the best professional appearance.
Caring for your product
To ensure your polo continues to perform and look its best, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. Proper maintenance protects the fabric fibres and ensures your customised branding remains intact for the life of the garment.
We recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. Using higher temperatures can damage the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of stretch and potential garment distortion. Always wash dark colours separately to prevent dye transfer onto lighter garments.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the cotton fibres and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, do not dry clean this item, as the harsh chemicals can interfere with both the fabric's stretch properties and any applied prints or embroidery.
This garment should not be tumble dried. High heat in a dryer can shrink the cotton and degrade the elastane. Instead, re-shape the polo while damp and allow it to dry naturally out of direct sunlight, which prevents fading. When ironing, use a medium setting and always iron on the reverse of any decoration to avoid damaging the print or embroidery.
