Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Imperial Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a sophisticated and durable choice for businesses seeking a professional appearance for their female staff. Constructed from 100% ringspun semi-combed cotton, this heavy-weight garment offers a premium feel that stands up to the rigours of daily wear while maintaining an elegant, fitted silhouette. Its construction prioritises both comfort and longevity, making it a staple for any corporate or promotional wardrobe.
Key Features
- Fitted Style: Designed to provide a tailored, professional look that complements the female form without compromising on movement.
- Elastane Ribbed Collar: The inclusion of elastane ensures the collar retains its shape and elasticity over time, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior garments.
- Taped Neck: Reinforcement along the neck seam provides extra comfort and prevents irritation, while also strengthening a common stress point.
- Twin Needle Stitching: This technique offers superior seam strength and a clean finish, ensuring the garment remains intact even after repeated laundering.
- Tear Out Label: An essential feature for those looking to re-brand or provide maximum wearer comfort by removing potential points of skin irritation.
Design & Performance
The use of ringspun semi-combed cotton is a technical choice that results in a smoother, stronger fabric. By spinning the cotton fibres, impurities are removed, leaving a cleaner surface that is not only softer against the skin but also provides an ideal canvas for customisation. As a heavy-weight t-shirt, it offers more substance than standard alternatives, providing extra warmth for transitional seasons and a higher degree of opacity and durability.
Furthermore, this garment carries an impressive array of certifications, including PETA-Approved Vegan status and Fair Wear Foundation membership. This ensures that your workwear choice aligns with high ethical and environmental standards, from chemical safety (REACH and OEKO-TEX) to social compliance in the supply chain (BSCI).
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavy-weight long-sleeve t-shirt is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery for smaller corporate logos or staff names; the dense weave of the semi-combed cotton supports the weight of the stitching without pulling or puckering. This creates a durable, three-dimensional effect that looks highly professional.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the ringspun cotton makes it perfect for various printing methods. Large, bold designs remain vibrant and crisp, making this an excellent choice for promotional events or high-impact branding. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring that the legacy of quality we established in 1976 is reflected in every stitch and print.
Use Cases
This garment is highly versatile, proving ideal for front-of-house hospitality roles, retail environments, or as a smart base layer for outdoor tradespeople. Its fitted design and long sleeves make it suitable for professional settings where a standard short-sleeve t-shirt might feel too casual, providing a cohesive look across a diverse workforce.

Practical Advice
It is important to note that this specific model runs small compared to other brands. We strongly recommend reviewing the sizing specifications or ordering a sample before proceeding with custom decoration. For those working in cooler environments, the heavy-weight fabric provides an excellent foundation for layering under gilets or jumpers.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your garment, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Consistent adherence to these guidelines will prevent premature fabric wear and ensure the cotton remains soft and comfortable.
Careful attention to laundering is particularly important when the garment has been customised. Avoiding harsh chemicals and following the recommended washing temperatures will protect both the embroidery threads and printed designs, ensuring your company branding remains vibrant and intact for the life of the garment.
