Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Pacific Long Sleeve Piqué Polo Shirt represents a sophisticated evolution of the traditional work polo, designed to offer a professional silhouette while providing the additional coverage of long sleeves. This garment is constructed from 100% ringspun combed cotton, ensuring a surface that is both exceptionally smooth and resilient enough for daily professional use. With its classic piqué weave, it strikes a balance between traditional aesthetics and modern performance, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to maintain a consistent corporate identity across changing seasons.
Key Features
- Ribbed collar and cuffs: These elements are engineered to retain their shape after repeated wear, ensuring you maintain a sharp, professional appearance throughout the working day.
- Taped neck: This reinforcement provides added comfort and prevents the neckline from stretching or losing its form, even during physical activity.
- Two-button placket with pearlised buttons: The reinforced placket offers a classic look with added durability, preventing tearing at the base of the opening.
- Reinforced side vents: These allow for a greater range of movement and ensure the polo sits neatly over the hips whether tucked in or worn out.
- Twin needle hem: This double-stitched finish provides superior strength at the garment's edge, preventing fraying and ensuring longevity.
- Tag-free design: The absence of a branded label in the neck makes this garment perfect for re-branding or for those who find traditional labels irritating.
Design & Performance
The use of ringspun combed cotton is a deliberate choice for performance. The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a yarn that is significantly stronger and softer than standard cotton. This makes the fabric less prone to pilling and ensures it feels comfortable against the skin for the duration of a shift. As a standard weight garment, it provides a substantial feel without being overly heavy, making it an excellent piece for temperature regulation in indoor environments or for layering during colder months.
The construction includes side seams, which help the garment maintain its structural integrity and prevent twisting in the wash—a common issue with lower-quality circular-knit alternatives. This ensures your team looks as professional on their hundredth shift as they did on their first.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This long-sleeve polo is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Given the stable piqué weave of the ringspun cotton, embroidery is particularly effective here; the fabric provides a solid foundation for high-stitch-count logos, resulting in a crisp, professional finish that won't pucker. This is the preferred route for corporate branding and employee names.
Alternatively, for larger promotional designs or bold back prints, our Telford-based team can apply high-quality printing. Since we have been perfecting our craft since 1976, we ensure that every application—whether thread or ink—is executed with precision to reflect your brand's standards.
Use Cases
This unisex garment is highly versatile and fits seamlessly into various professional environments. It is particularly well-suited for retail staff who require a smart-casual appearance, site managers who need to transition from the office to the field, or delivery personnel who benefit from the added arm protection and warmth of long sleeves. Its classic fit ensures it is comfortable for all body types, making it a reliable standard for a diverse workforce.

Practical Advice
The classic fit of the SOL'S Pacific provides a comfortable amount of room without being baggy. If you are planning to wear this polo as a base layer under a heavy jacket, you may find your regular size is perfect. However, if you prefer a more tailored look, consider the dimensions of a classic fit versus a slim-fit alternative. The long sleeves make this an ideal bridge garment for the spring and autumn months when a short-sleeve polo is insufficient but a fleece is too warm.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of your polo, it is essential to follow standard cotton care procedures. Washing the garment at moderate temperatures prevents the natural cotton fibres from shrinking or becoming brittle, which ensures the polo remains soft and comfortable for longer.
When drying, we recommend avoiding high heat. Excessive heat can damage both the ringspun cotton fibres and any customisation, particularly printed logos, which may crack or peel if subjected to intense mechanical drying. Instead, air drying or a low-temperature cycle will help preserve the professional finish of your branding.
If ironing is required, avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas. Ironing on the reverse of the customisation ensures the heat does not degrade the adhesives in prints or flatten the intricate stitching of an embroidery, keeping your company logo looking sharp.
