Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Crusader Organic T-Shirt is a sophisticated garment designed for businesses that demand both environmental responsibility and a polished, professional appearance. Cut specifically for a feminine silhouette, this slim-fit t-shirt provides a modern look while maintaining the comfort expected of a standard-weight fabric. Its 100% organic cotton composition ensures a soft feel against the skin and a high-quality surface for various customisation techniques. Whether used as a base layer for a corporate uniform or a standalone piece for promotional events, the Crusader offers a refined alternative to conventional workwear.
Key Features
- 1x1 Ribbed Collar: This provides excellent elasticity and recovery, ensuring the neckline maintains its shape even after repeated wear and washing.
- Taped Neck: A fabric tape is sewn over the neck seam to provide a smooth finish, enhancing wearer comfort and preventing the seam from stretching out of shape.
- Tubular Body: The absence of side seams allows for a more consistent fit and provides an uninterrupted surface for large-scale side prints.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the hems and sleeves increases the garment's longevity, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of daily work life.
- Unbranded Size Label: The removal of manufacturer branding at the neck makes this an ideal choice for businesses looking to rebrand the garments as part of their own range.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% organic cotton, the fabric of the Crusader is a standard-weight material that strikes the perfect balance between breathability and substance. Unlike lighter alternatives, this fabric provides enough opacity and structure to sit well on the body without being cumbersome. The slim-fit design is tailored to follow the contours of the body, providing a professional aesthetic that avoids the bulkiness of unisex alternatives.
The organic nature of the cotton means the fibres have been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, resulting in a fabric that is often softer and more hypoallergenic than traditional cotton. This makes it an excellent choice for staff who will be wearing the garment for extended periods throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Ladies Crusader is an exceptionally versatile canvas for custom branding. For those seeking a "proper" professional look, we recommend embroidery. This technique is ideal for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that withstands industrial laundering and remains sharp for the life of the garment.
For larger, more vibrant designs—such as campaign slogans or large back logos—printing is often the superior choice. The smooth surface of the organic cotton ensures excellent ink adhesion and colour reproduction. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear, established in 1976, manages all customisation from our Telford-based facility, ensuring every garment meets our rigorous standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for retail environments, hospitality teams, and eco-conscious corporate sectors. Its slim fit and premium feel also make it a popular choice for promotional staff at trade shows or as high-quality merchandise for gyms and wellness centres. Given its sustainable credentials, it is the obvious choice for organisations looking to align their uniform with their environmental policies.

Practical Advice
It is important to note that this specific style runs small in comparison to some other brands. We strongly advise checking the sizing specifications carefully before proceeding with custom decoration to ensure the best fit for your team. As a slim-fit garment, it is designed to be worn close to the body; if you prefer a more relaxed fit, you may wish to consider sizing up or exploring our unisex organic options.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your organic cotton t-shirt, it is essential to follow a careful maintenance routine. Proper care ensures that the natural fibres remain strong and your custom branding stays vibrant over time.
When washing, we recommend using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoiding harsh chemicals and high temperatures will prevent the 100% organic cotton from shrinking or losing its natural softness. It also helps to preserve the integrity of any printed designs which can be sensitive to thermal stress.
Bleaching should be avoided entirely. Chlorine and other bleaching agents will break down the organic cotton fibres, leading to premature wear and fading of the fabric colour. This is particularly important for maintaining the background contrast for your embroidered logos.
For drying, air drying is the preferred method. High heat from tumble dryers can cause the garment to lose its tailored shape and may cause printed elements to crack or peel. If you must use a dryer, ensure it is on a low-heat setting.
When ironing, always iron the garment on the reverse side. This prevents direct heat from damaging the embroidery threads or the ink used in printing, ensuring your branding remains in pristine condition for the long term.
