Design & Performance
This shirt is manufactured from a lightweight fabric that balances the breathable properties of cotton with the resilience of recycled polyester. The 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton mix is specifically chosen for its durability and ease of maintenance; the polyester component helps the garment retain its shape and resist creasing during long shifts, while the cotton ensures a soft feel against the skin.
Ethical manufacturing is at the heart of this garment's design. It carries multiple certifications, including PETA-Approved Vegan, Fair Wear Foundation membership, and REACH compliance. These standards guarantee that the shirt has been produced with respect for both human rights and the environment, providing peace of mind for socially conscious businesses.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine, tight weave of the poplin fabric makes this shirt an excellent candidate for customisation. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team uses high-quality threads to recreate your logo with exceptional detail, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily wear and frequent laundering.
If your branding requires large, vibrant designs, our technical printing processes are equally effective on this poly-cotton surface. Whether you choose embroidery for a subtle chest logo or print for a bold statement, our experts, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976, will ensure a superior finish that reflects the quality of your brand.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles in the corporate, hospitality, and retail sectors. Its professional cut and sustainable credentials make it an ideal choice for office staff, receptionists, and front-of-house teams who need to maintain a sharp appearance while staying comfortable.

Practical Advice
The SOL'S Ladies Bailey is a tailored fit garment. For those who prefer a bit more room for movement or plan to wear a thermal base layer underneath during colder months, we recommend reviewing our size guide or considering a size larger than your standard fit. It layers exceptionally well under a V-neck jumper or a structured blazer.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your shirt, we recommend a standard domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without placing undue stress on the recycled polyester fibres, ensuring the garment remains in service for longer.
When drying, it is best to hang the shirt immediately after washing to reduce the need for heavy ironing. If you must iron, use a medium heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fibres. Avoid using bleach, as this will degrade the fabric and may cause discolouration to any custom embroidery or print work.
