Product Overview
The SOL'S Bailey Long Sleeve Poplin Shirt is a sophisticated and environmentally conscious choice for modern professional environments. This garment is designed with a tailored, fitted silhouette that provides a sharp and contemporary profile, essential for making a positive impression in corporate or hospitality settings. By utilising a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, SOL'S has created a shirt that prioritises sustainability without compromising on the crisp, professional aesthetic required by businesses today.
Every detail of this shirt has been considered for the professional wearer, from the stiffened collar that maintains its shape throughout the day to the self-colour buttons that provide a clean, cohesive finish. The inclusion of a tear-out label makes it particularly suitable for companies wishing to implement a fully bespoke branding experience for their staff.

Design & Performance
The fabric is a lightweight poplin weave, which is prized in workwear for its smooth surface and durability. The blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton offers the best of both worlds: the polyester provides excellent crease resistance and durability, while the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable and comfortable during extended wear. This is a well-engineered garment that handles the rigours of a busy office or front-of-house environment with ease.
Performance is further bolstered by the back yoke construction, which provides structural strength across the shoulders and allows for a greater range of movement. Furthermore, the shirt carries numerous certifications including REACH, BSCI, and PETA-Approved Vegan status, ensuring it meets the highest ethical and environmental standards in global garment production.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, fine-weave surface of this poplin shirt makes it an ideal canvas for customisation. For a truly professional and authoritative look, we recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, uses high-precision machinery to ensure your logo or staff names are rendered with absolute clarity and durability.
For businesses requiring larger, more vibrant branding, this fabric also takes print exceptionally well. The tight weave allows for sharp detail and consistent colour application. Whether you choose embroidery for its classic feel or print for its bold impact, our experts will ensure your brand is represented to the highest standard.
Use Cases
This shirt is an excellent choice for corporate office staff, receptionists, and management teams in the hospitality and retail sectors. Its sleek design also makes it highly suitable for sales representatives attending trade shows or events where a unified and professional brand image is critical.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, it is designed to sit close to the body for a modern look. If you or your team members prefer a more traditional, generous fit, we recommend selecting one size larger than usual. This shirt layers perfectly under a tailored blazer or a fine-knit V-neck jumper for a complete corporate uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the pristine appearance of your shirt and protect your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at moderate temperatures. This helps to preserve the integrity of the recycled polyester fibres and prevents the fabric from becoming brittle over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the fabric's structure and cause the colours—and your branding—to fade prematurely. For the best results, hang the shirt to air dry immediately after washing to minimise creasing. When ironing, use a medium heat setting; excessive heat can cause synthetic fibres to develop a permanent shine, particularly on darker colours.
