Product Overview
The SOL'S Ladies Perfect Long Sleeve Piqué Polo Shirt is a sophisticated and highly functional garment designed for professionals who require a refined appearance throughout the working day. Constructed from 100% combed cotton, this standard-weight polo offers a premium feel with a focus on a feminine, fitted silhouette. The long-sleeve configuration provides additional coverage and warmth, making it an excellent choice for transitional seasons or temperature-controlled indoor environments where a professional standard must be maintained.
Key Features
- Fitted style: Specifically tailored to provide a more contoured and professional feminine fit compared to traditional boxy alternatives.
- Ribbed collar: Designed to retain its shape and structure after repeated wear and laundering, ensuring you always look presentable.
- Taped neck: Enhances the structural integrity of the garment while providing a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin.
- Three self-colour button placket: A subtle design detail that ensures a clean, cohesive look across the entire garment.
- Twin needle sleeves and hem: Reinforced stitching in these high-movement areas prevents fraying and extends the working life of the shirt.
- Tear-out label: Allows for easy rebranding or improved comfort by removing the potential for neck irritation.
Design & Performance
Performance is rooted in the quality of the fabric. By using 100% combed cotton, the shorter fibres are removed, leaving only the longest and strongest strands. This results in a piqué fabric that is remarkably smooth and durable. The piqué weave itself provides a subtle texture that allows for natural breathability, keeping the wearer comfortable even during busy shifts. It is important to note that this garment is designed with a slim fit and runs smaller than other brands; we strongly advise verifying your measurements before ordering, particularly if you intend to add custom decoration.
The garment is also backed by a suite of ethical and safety certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances. Furthermore, its PETA-Approved Vegan status and Fair Wear Foundation affiliation reflect a commitment to sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This piqué polo is an exceptional candidate for customisation. For a traditional and authoritative business look, embroidery is the preferred choice. The stable piqué knit provides an excellent foundation for high-stitch-count logos, ensuring they remain crisp and do not pull the fabric. For larger, more striking promotional designs, our print processes offer vibrant colour reproduction that stands out.
Every piece of customisation is handled by our dedicated in-house team in Telford. With a heritage stretching back to 1976, we apply decades of technical expertise to ensure your branding is executed with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
The SOL'S Ladies Perfect Long Sleeve Polo is versatile enough for various sectors. It is particularly well-suited for front-of-house hospitality, corporate events, and office environments where a smart-casual dress code is required. Its long sleeves also make it a practical option for retail staff or delivery personnel who require a professional appearance while working in cooler conditions.

Practical Advice
Given the slim-fit nature of this shirt, we recommend those who prefer a more relaxed fit or who intend to wear a base layer underneath to consider selecting a size larger than their usual choice. For businesses looking to create their own brand identity, the tear-out label is a particularly useful feature for seamless internal branding.
Caring for your product
To ensure your polo shirt continues to perform and look its best, proper maintenance is essential. We recommend a gentle wash cycle to preserve the natural combed cotton fibres and maintain the garment's fitted shape over time.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the cotton fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. Such damage can also negatively affect the appearance of your embroidered or printed logos.
When it comes to drying, air drying is preferable. High heat in a tumble dryer can lead to garment shrinkage, particularly with 100% cotton, and may cause the piqué texture to become distorted. Ironing on a moderate setting will help keep the collar and placket looking sharp, but take care to iron around any printed elements to avoid heat damage.
