Product Overview
The SOL'S Pasadena Tipped Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt represents a sophisticated step up from the standard uniform staple. Designed with a modern, fitted silhouette, this polo shirt bridges the gap between casual comfort and professional polish. The standout feature is the contrast double stripe tipping on the ribbed collar and cuffs, which adds a refined aesthetic detail suitable for premium service environments or sporting pursuits. Crafted from pure ringspun cotton, it offers a soft hand-feel that belies its durable construction, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your wardrobe through repeated wear.

Design & Performance
The performance of the Pasadena polo is rooted in its 100% ringspun cotton piqué construction. By using ringspun yarns, the fabric achieves a smoother, tighter weave than standard cotton, resulting in a garment that is both softer against the skin and more resistant to pilling. The piqué knit itself provides a subtle texture that promotes breathability, making it an excellent choice for active environments. Despite its soft feel, the fabric is a substantial, medium-to-heavy weight, providing the structure required for a garment that needs to look as good at the end of a shift as it did at the start.
Furthermore, this garment is produced under stringent ethical standards. It carries certifications from the Fair Wear Foundation and the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, alongside being PETA-Approved Vegan. This ensures that while the shirt performs for you, it has also met high benchmarks for social and environmental responsibility during its manufacture in Bangladesh.
Why No Customisation?
This specific product listing is provided as a non-customised, ready-to-wear item. We offer these garments 'as-is' to facilitate faster dispatch times for businesses or individuals who require high-quality, professional attire immediately without the lead times associated with embroidery or printing. While the fabric is perfectly suited for customisation, this particular SKU is reserved for those needing immediate stock of a premium, plain polo shirt.
Use Cases
The Pasadena is exceptionally versatile. Its refined tipping and fitted cut make it a preferred choice for equestrian teams and racquet sports clubs who demand a classic sporting look. In the professional sphere, it is ideally suited for hospitality and leisure uniforms, particularly in front-of-house roles where a polished, smart-casual appearance is vital for brand representation.

Practical Advice
As this is a 'fitted' style, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a standard-fit polo shirt. If you prefer a more relaxed or generous fit, we recommend considering one size larger than your usual measurement. The 100% cotton construction means the garment will breathe well, making it a perfect base layer under a jumper or softshell jacket during cooler months without causing overheating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of your polo shirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes everyday grime and perspiration without putting undue stress on the cotton fibres or the contrast tipping on the collar.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will aggressively break down the natural cotton fibres and cause the contrast stripes to bleed or fade prematurely. For drying, we advise air drying where possible. While the ringspun cotton is sturdy, frequent high-heat tumble drying can lead to minor shrinkage and may cause the ribbed collar to lose its crisp edge over time.
When ironing, use a medium heat setting and avoid direct contact with the buttons. Ironing the shirt while slightly damp can help achieve a professionally pressed finish, ensuring the piqué texture remains soft and the collar sits correctly.
