Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Barry Long Sleeve Denim Shirt is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a professional yet approachable uniform. Crafted from 100% cotton, this mid-weight shirt offers the natural breathability and soft handle associated with high-quality denim. It is designed with a distinct ladies' cut, featuring a fitted silhouette that provides a sharp, modern appearance. However, it is important to note that this garment runs small compared to other standard sizing; we recommend careful consideration of measurements before choosing your final size.
Key Features
- Tailored Fitted Style: Darts at the bust and back ensure a contoured fit that remains professional and flattering throughout the working day.
- Classic Collar and Back Yoke: Traditional design elements that provide structural integrity and a crisp finish for formal environments.
- Functional Chest Pocket: Positioned on the left, this pocket provides a convenient spot for small essentials without detracting from the shirt's streamlined look.
- Adjustable Single Button Cuffs: Features a button on the cuff gauntlet, allowing for a precise fit at the wrist or the option to roll up sleeves when the job becomes more hands-on.
- Curved Hem: Specifically designed to look well-groomed whether tucked into trousers or worn untucked for a more relaxed, modern style.
Design & Performance
The performance of this shirt lies in its pure cotton construction. As a natural fibre, the denim allows for excellent air circulation, making it comfortable for all-day wear in temperature-controlled environments like retail or hospitality. The fabric is sturdy yet flexible, reinforced by a back yoke that helps distribute tension across the shoulders, preventing the shirt from losing its shape during repetitive movement. The fitted nature of the garment is achieved through strategic darting, which ensures a sleek profile without the bulk often found in unisex denim shirts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Denim is an exceptional substrate for customisation. For a professional and enduring finish, we highly recommend embroidery. The mid-weight fabric supports the weight of high-density stitching, making it perfect for company logos or staff names on the chest or collar. If you require large, vibrant branding on the back, our print processes are equally effective. All customisation is performed by our expert team in Telford, ensuring your brand is represented with the highest level of precision.
Use Cases
This shirt is an ideal solution for hospitality teams, boutique retail staff, and creative agencies who want a uniform that bridges the gap between casual and corporate. It is also well-suited for trade show representatives who need to stand out while maintaining a practical edge.

Practical Advice
Because this garment is a fitted style and runs smaller than average, we suggest ordering a size up if you prefer a more comfortable, less restrictive fit. For a smart-casual look, pair this shirt with dark chinos or a skirt. Layering it under a knit jumper in winter is also a practical way to maintain a professional appearance in colder conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the shirt's shape and the deep colour of the denim, we recommend a domestic wash at no higher than 40°C. Washing at high temperatures can lead to unwanted shrinkage and can cause the cotton fibres to stiffen, which may compromise the tailored fit.
Avoid using bleach or aggressive detergents. These chemicals will strip the indigo dye and weaken the fabric over time, leading to a prematurely aged appearance and potential tearing at the seams.
When drying, it is best to air dry the shirt on a hanger. Tumble drying can cause the darts and collar to lose their crispness. Iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp to ensure the garment remains smooth and ready for the next shift.
