Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Monarch Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require a blend of comfort and a polished appearance. This standard-weight T-shirt is crafted from 100% semi-combed ringspun cotton, providing a superior surface for customisation while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout the working day. Its long-sleeve design offers additional coverage, making it an ideal choice for transitioning between seasons or for use in climate-controlled environments.
Key Features
- Ribbed Collar with Elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the collar ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity, preventing the garment from looking worn after repeated use.
- Taped Neck: A taped neck seam provides a smooth finish against the skin and reinforces the structure of the garment at a high-stress point.
- Tubular Body Construction: The absence of side seams ensures a consistent fit and prevents the T-shirt from twisting or distorting during movement or after laundering.
- Twin Needle Stitching: This double-stitched finish on the hems provides essential durability, ensuring the garment can withstand the rigours of a busy workplace.
- Tear-Out Label: Allows for easy rebranding or increased wearer comfort by removing the potential for neck irritation.
Design & Performance
The use of semi-combed ringspun cotton is a deliberate choice for performance; the combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a smoother, stronger yarn. This translates to a fabric that is not only softer to the touch but also more resistant to pilling. The single jersey knit provides natural stretch and breathability, which is vital for active roles.
Furthermore, this T-shirt carries an impressive array of certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances. Its PETA-Approved Vegan status and association with the Better Cotton initiative highlight a commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices that modern businesses value.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Monarch is particularly well-suited for customisation. For a professional and traditional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names. The stable, semi-combed cotton handles high-stitch-density designs exceptionally well, providing a secure foundation for our expert thread work.
For larger, more vibrant graphics—such as those required for promotional events or university societies—printing is an excellent alternative. The smooth jersey surface ensures a clean finish for various print methods. All customisation is performed by our specialist in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
Given its classic fit and professional finish, this long-sleeve T-shirt is highly recommended for school, college, and university staff or students, particularly during freshers' events. It is equally effective as part of a retail or hospitality uniform where a comfortable yet cohesive brand image is required.

Practical Advice
The Ladies Monarch features a classic, comfortable fit tailored specifically for the female form. As a standard-weight garment, it works exceptionally well as a standalone piece in temperate conditions or as a soft base layer beneath a fleece or jacket when the temperature drops. We suggest reviewing the size guide to ensure the desired silhouette is achieved.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the semi-combed cotton and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend following standard cotton care procedures. Proper laundering ensures the fibres do not break down prematurely, extending the life of your investment.
Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these can weaken the natural cotton fibres and cause the colour to fade or become patchy. When drying, air drying is preferable; high heat in a tumble dryer can cause natural shrinkage in cotton garments and may damage the adhesive bond of printed designs.
If ironing is required, we advise turning the garment inside out. This protects the face of the fabric and ensures that direct heat does not come into contact with any embroidery or print, which could cause melting or distortion of the branding.
