SOL'S Perfect Long Sleeve Piqué Polo Shirt

Product Overview

The SOL'S Perfect Long Sleeve Piqué Polo Shirt is a sophisticated evolution of the traditional short-sleeve silhouette, designed for those who require a professional appearance with additional coverage. Constructed from 100% combed cotton, this garment offers a refined texture and exceptional comfort, making it a staple for any corporate or trade uniform. Its classic fit ensures a timeless profile that suits a wide variety of body types, while the long sleeves provide versatility across the seasons, bridging the gap between casual and formal work attire.

Key Features

• The ribbed collar and cuffs are engineered to maintain their shape over time, ensuring the garment looks crisp even after repeated laundering and long shifts.
• A taped neck provides a smooth internal finish, which reduces friction against the skin and prevents the neckline from stretching out of shape.
• The two-button placket features self-colour buttons for a subtle, understated aesthetic that complements a wide range of company branding.
• Twin needle stitching at the hem enhances the overall structural integrity of the polo shirt, preventing the seams from fraying under tension.
• A tear-out label allows for easy rebranding or provides extra comfort for those with sensitive skin who find traditional labels irritating.

Design & Performance

Crafted from a high-quality piqué weave, this polo shirt balances breathability with a substantial, standard-weight feel. The use of combed cotton is a mark of quality; by removing shorter fibres and impurities during the spinning process, the resulting fabric is smoother, stronger, and less prone to pilling. This makes the garment particularly well-suited to active work environments where durability is just as important as appearance.

The classic fit is designed to provide ample room for movement without appearing oversized. The breathable nature of the cotton piqué ensures that the wearer remains comfortable throughout the day, whether working indoors or in a temperature-controlled environment. Furthermore, the garment carries several certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and PETA-Approved Vegan status, reflecting a commitment to both human health and ethical production standards.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

This long-sleeve polo shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery customisation. For a professional finish that lasts the life of the garment, we recommend embroidery for company logos or individual names. The textured piqué weave provides a stable foundation for intricate needlework, ensuring your branding remains sharp and clear.

For larger, more graphic designs or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing processes offer a vibrant and cost-effective solution. Our expert team in Telford, who have been specialising in garment decoration since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure that your business image is presented with the highest level of precision.

Use Cases

This garment is ideal for staff in the hospitality industry, technical sales roles, or site management where a formal shirt may be too restrictive. It provides a professional alternative to a t-shirt while offering the warmth and protection of long sleeves, making it perfect for transition periods between seasons or for indoor environments with active air conditioning.

Practical Advice

This polo shirt is designed with a classic fit and generally runs true to size. If you are intended to wear it as a base layer under a heavier jacket or sweatshirt, we recommend choosing your standard size for a comfortable fit. For those who prefer a more contemporary, slimmer silhouette, you may wish to consider one size smaller, though the combed cotton provides enough drape to look smart on most frames.

Caring for your product

Maintaining the integrity of the combed cotton and the vibrancy of your custom branding requires consistent care. Following the correct laundering procedures will ensure that the piqué weave remains soft and the ribbed elements do not lose their elasticity over time.

We recommend washing the garment according to the temperature specified on the internal care label. Failing to adhere to these temperature settings can lead to fabric shrinkage and may cause the fibres to break down prematurely, affecting the overall fit of the polo shirt.

When drying, it is best to avoid high heat. Excessive tumble drying can damage the cotton fibres and cause any printed customisation to crack or peel. Instead, air drying or using a low-heat setting will preserve the garment's shape and the quality of the embroidery.

If ironing is required, avoid direct heat on any printed or embroidered areas. High temperatures from an iron can melt print adhesives or distort the polyester threads used in embroidery, which will detract from the professional appearance of your uniform.
