Product Overview
The SOL'S Phoenix Piqué Polo Shirt represents a modern evolution of the traditional work polo, specifically engineered for those who require a sharper, more contemporary silhouette. This fitted garment moves away from the boxy shapes of standard workwear, offering a sleek profile that remains professional throughout a demanding shift. Constructed from a premium blend of ringspun combed cotton and elastane, it provides a superior tactile experience while ensuring the garment holds its shape. The label-free design makes it an ideal choice for businesses looking to re-brand or provide a cleaner, distraction-free experience for their staff.
Key Features
- Fitted Style: Provides a modern, tailored appearance that enhances a professional corporate image without being restrictive.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: These structured elements are designed to resist curling and stretching, maintaining the garment's crisp lines after repeated laundering.
- Taped Neck: A reinforced seam at the neck increases durability and prevents irritation, ensuring comfort during long hours of wear.
- Three Self-Colour Button Placket: Offers a cohesive, understated look that focuses attention on your brand rather than the fastenings.
- Side Vents: These allow for a greater range of motion and improved airflow, which is essential for active roles in varied environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Phoenix polo is rooted in its substantial, heavyweight fabric. By utilising ringspun combed cotton, the material is exceptionally smooth, which is not only comfortable against the skin but also provides an ideal surface for high-quality customisation. The addition of elastane is a critical technical choice; it grants the fabric a degree of stretch that allows it to snap back into place, preventing the 'bagging' often seen in lower-quality cotton polos.
This garment is built to last. The pique weave is tight and consistent, providing a sturdy texture that can withstand the rigours of a professional workplace. Furthermore, the garment carries a suite of certifications, including OEKO-TEX and Fair Wear Foundation, ensuring that your company's uniform meets high standards for both chemical safety and ethical manufacturing practices.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The substantial weight and smooth finish of the SOL'S Phoenix make it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles every customisation with precision.
For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The fabric's weave supports dense stitching beautifully, making it perfect for company logos or staff names. If you require large, vibrant graphics for promotional events or a bold brand statement, our high-quality printing processes integrate seamlessly with the cotton fibres to ensure a durable and striking result.
Use Cases
This polo is perfectly suited for customer-facing environments where a smart-casual appearance is required. It is an ideal choice for hospitality staff, high-end retail teams, and corporate representatives at trade shows. Because of its fitted nature and heavyweight construction, it also serves well as a premium uniform for technical consultants who need to look professional while remaining mobile.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, we recommend reviewing your measurements carefully; if you or your team prefer a more relaxed fit, it may be prudent to select one size larger than your usual measurement. This polo layers exceptionally well under knitwear or a softshell jacket without creating unnecessary bulk, making it a versatile choice for year-round use.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the cotton and elastane blend is essential for ensuring your uniform remains professional. We suggest washing this garment at a moderate temperature to prevent the elastane fibres from degrading, which can lead to a loss of shape and elasticity over time.
When drying, it is best to avoid high heat. Natural air drying is preferable to maintain the vibrancy of the piqué weave and the sharpness of your embroidered or printed logo. If ironing is necessary, do so on a medium setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the customisation.
