Product Overview
The SOL'S Miles Striped T-Shirt represents a sophisticated departure from the standard monochrome uniform. This classic nautical-inspired garment combines a timeless striped aesthetic with a contemporary fitted silhouette, making it an ideal choice for brands looking to achieve a distinct, maritime-inspired professional appearance. Constructed from high-quality ringspun combed cotton, it offers a superior surface for customisation, ensuring that your company identity is presented on a fabric that feels as good as it looks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The 100% ringspun combed cotton composition of this t-shirt provides a stable and exceptionally smooth canvas for both print and embroidery. For businesses seeking a traditional and premium finish, embroidery is highly recommended for chest-positioned logos. The dense weave of the combed cotton supports the weight of the stitching without puckering, maintaining the garment's shape over time.
Alternatively, the striped pattern provides a unique background for bold screen printing or digital transfers. Printing is particularly effective for larger promotional graphics where impact is the primary goal. Every customisation project is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on MyWorkwear's heritage in technical garment decoration since 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Key Features
- Ringspun Combed Cotton: The combing process removes short fibres and impurities, resulting in a stronger, smoother yarn that offers a superior feel against the skin and improved longevity.
- Fitted Style: The modern, tailored cut provides a more professional and streamlined appearance than traditional boxy t-shirts.
- Taped Neck: A fabric tape is applied over the neck seam to prevent irritation and ensure the neckline retains its shape, even after repeated laundering.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching on the hems and sleeves ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily wear without fraying.
- Unbranded Size Label: The absence of a prominent brand label at the neckline makes this an excellent choice for businesses wishing to rebrand the garment as their own.
Design & Performance
The Miles Striped T-Shirt is engineered for both visual appeal and durability. The choice of 100% ringspun combed cotton is a deliberate technical specification; by twisting the cotton fibres into fine strands, the resulting fabric is more resilient than standard open-end cotton. This standard-weight fabric provides a perfect balance of breathability and substance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor work environments.
The self-fabric neckline and meticulous twin-needle finishing speak to the garment's quality. This is not a disposable promotional item, but a well-constructed piece of workwear designed to maintain its structural integrity through the demands of a busy working week.

Why MyWorkwear
At MyWorkwear, we have been refining our craft since 1976. Operating from our specialized facility in Telford, we combine decades of technical expertise with modern machinery to deliver workwear that stands the test of time. We understand that your uniform is a reflection of your brand's standards, which is why we approach every stitch and print with professional rigour.
Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, we recommend reviewing our size guide carefully to ensure a comfortable fit for all team members. If your staff are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed feel, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The lightweight to standard nature of the fabric makes it an excellent layering piece; it sits comfortably under a blazer or cardigan for a more formal ensemble.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your branded garment, proper care is essential. Following the specific instructions on the internal care label will prevent premature wear and ensure the fabric remains vibrant.
When washing, we recommend turning the garment inside out. This simple step protects the fibres and any custom print or embroidery from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, extending the life of your logo.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners. These substances can break down the cotton fibres and cause the contrast stripes to bleed or fade, compromising the sharp look of the uniform.
For drying, air drying is the preferred method to prevent shrinkage. If you must iron the garment, ensure you iron on the reverse side of any printed or embroidered areas to avoid damaging the customisation with direct heat.
