Product Overview
The SOL'S Imperial Heavy T-Shirt is a cornerstone of professional workwear, designed for those who require a garment that offers more substance than a standard lightweight tee. Constructed from high-quality ringspun semi-combed cotton, this t-shirt provides a soft touch against the skin while maintaining a robust structure that holds its shape through demanding workdays. Its heavyweight nature makes it a dependable choice for year-round wear.
Key Features
- Ribbed collar: The elastane-reinforced ribbing ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity, preventing the sagging that often occurs in lesser garments after repetitive wear.
- Taped neck: Internal neck taping provides a smooth finish against the skin, reducing friction and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the garment.
- Tubular body: By removing side seams, the tubular construction offers a comfortable, consistent fit and prevents the garment from twisting or torquing after laundering.
- Twin needle stitching: Double-stitched hems and sleeves provide extra reinforcement at high-stress points, ensuring the t-shirt stands up to the rigours of daily work.
Design & Performance
The performance of the SOL'S Imperial lies in its 100% ringspun semi-combed cotton composition. This material selection ensures a smooth, uniform surface that is both breathable and hard-wearing. As a substantial garment, it offers a more premium feel, making it an excellent choice for environments where a bit more durability is required without sacrificing comfort.
Beyond the physical build, this garment adheres to rigorous international standards. With certifications ranging from OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH to PETA-Approved Vegan and Fair Wear Foundation membership, you can be confident that your uniform is produced with respect for both the environment and ethical labour practices. This commitment to quality ensures the garment remains a reliable part of your professional attire.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The substantial fabric weight and smooth cotton finish make the SOL'S Imperial an ideal canvas for customisation. For a refined and professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. The dense weave of the cotton supports intricate logos and text without the fabric puckering, ensuring your brand is represented with precision and a high-quality finish.
If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, this t-shirt is equally suited to high-quality printing. The flat surface of the ringspun cotton allows for excellent ink adhesion and clarity. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since our founding in 1976 to ensure your workwear looks exactly as intended.

Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity of your heavyweight cotton t-shirt is essential for ensuring a professional appearance over the long term. Proper garment care prevents the natural fibres from breaking down prematurely, ensuring the t-shirt remains a staple of your workwear wardrobe.
Regular laundering according to the care label helps to remove dirt and perspiration that can weaken the cotton weave. Failure to clean the garment correctly can lead to fabric fatigue and a loss of the t-shirt's substantial feel and shape.
Avoiding the use of harsh bleaching agents is recommended to protect the integrity of the semi-combed cotton. Exposure to strong chemicals can degrade the fabric and cause discolouration, which would undermine the professional look of your uniform.
Correct drying techniques are important for preventing the garment from losing its shape. Excessive heat during drying can cause the cotton to shrink, potentially altering the classic fit and affecting the alignment of any custom embroidery or print.
When ironing, it is important to avoid direct heat on branded areas. Ironing on the reverse protects the customisation from damage, ensuring your logo stays crisp and professional after every wash.
