Product Overview
The SOL'S Prime Poly/Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt is a versatile and hard-wearing garment designed to meet the rigorous demands of various professional environments. Constructed from a balanced blend of 65% polyester and 35% ringspun cotton, this polo shirt offers the durability required for daily workwear while maintaining the soft feel of cotton against the skin. Whether you are outfitting a university society, a sports team, or a corporate workforce, its classic fit ensures a professional silhouette that suits all builds.
Key Features
- 1x1 Ribbed Knit Collar and Cuffs: These components are designed to retain their shape over time, preventing the sagging or curling that often affects lesser-quality garments.
- Taped Neck: An internal tape covers the neck seam, providing enhanced comfort and preventing irritation during extended periods of wear.
- Three Self-Colour Button Placket: The matching buttons provide a clean, cohesive appearance that maintains a formal standard even in casual settings.
- Reinforced Shoulder Seams: This structural reinforcement ensures the garment can withstand the stresses of physical activity without tearing.
- Twin Needle Hem: The double-stitched hem provides a neat finish and prevents unravelling, extending the operational life of the polo shirt.
Design & Performance
The piqué weave of the fabric provides the traditional texture associated with high-quality polo shirts, allowing for natural breathability. This medium-to-heavyweight fabric is substantial enough to feel sturdy and protective, yet the inclusion of ringspun cotton ensures it remains comfortable throughout a shift. The 65/35 poly-cotton composition is a deliberate choice for performance; the polyester provides excellent colour retention and crease resistance, while the cotton allows the skin to breathe.
Furthermore, this garment is produced under stringent ethical standards. With certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100, REACH, and Fair Wear Foundation, you can be confident that your workwear meets global safety and social compliance requirements. It is also PETA-Approved Vegan, ensuring no animal products were used in its manufacture.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The SOL'S Prime is an ideal canvas for customisation, and our Telford-based team, established in 1976, has the expertise to ensure your brand is represented perfectly. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for logos and staff names; the dense piqué weave supports complex stitching exceptionally well. If you require larger, high-impact branding across the back of the garment, our high-quality print processes provide a bold and vibrant result that stands out. All customisation is handled in-house to ensure the highest quality control.
Use Cases
Given its robust construction and smart appearance, this polo shirt is perfectly suited for college and university uniforms, outdoor leisure activities, and sports such as darts or equestrian events. It is equally at home in a warehouse or office environment where a balance of comfort and a professional image is required.

Practical Advice
As this is a classic fit garment, it offers a more relaxed silhouette. If you are layering this under a sweatshirt or jacket, we suggest ensuring your outer layers have a similar generous cut to maintain comfort. For those between sizes, the classic fit usually provides enough room for ease of movement.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your workwear is essential for longevity. This garment is designed for a domestic wash at up to 60°C. This higher temperature capability is excellent for ensuring hygiene and effectively removing stubborn oils or dirt that can accumulate in a work environment.
To preserve the fabric's strength and the vibrancy of your custom print or embroidery, we recommend avoiding the use of bleach, as this can break down the fibres and cause discolouration. When ironing, ensure the garment is turned inside out if it has been printed to protect the design from direct heat damage.
