Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Palermo Polo Shirt represents a sophisticated approach to the traditional workwear silhouette. Designed with a meticulous eye for detail, this garment distinguishes itself through contrast tipping on the collar and cuffs, providing a refined aesthetic that elevates a standard uniform into a professional statement. Its classic fit ensures comfort for a wide range of body types, making it an ideal choice for teams requiring a unified, polished appearance without compromising on ease of movement.
Key Features
- 100% Ringspun Combed Cotton: The use of combed cotton ensures a smoother, stronger fabric that feels soft against the skin and provides a superior surface for branding.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs with Contrast Tipping: This design detail adds a touch of distinction, ensuring your team stands out with a professional and modern edge.
- Reinforced Side Vents: By strengthening the side openings, the garment offers better durability and allows for a more comfortable fit around the hips.
- Shoulder-to-Shoulder Taping: This construction technique prevents the garment from stretching out of shape, ensuring it maintains its professional silhouette after repeated wear.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Applied to the sleeves and hem, this double-stitch finish provides extra strength and prevents fraying in high-stress areas.
- Tear-Out Label: Allows for easy rebranding or increased wearer comfort by removing potential irritation at the neckline.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a standard-weight piqué knit, the Palermo Polo is engineered for both longevity and breathability. The ringspun combed cotton creates a dense, stable fabric that resists the pilling and thinning often associated with inferior materials. The inclusion of side seams ensures the shirt retains its structural integrity, preventing the 'twisting' effect that can occur with tubular knit garments over time.
Furthermore, this polo shirt is backed by significant ethical and safety certifications, including REACH compliance and Fair Wear Foundation membership. These credentials demonstrate a commitment to responsible manufacturing and chemical safety, providing peace of mind for businesses concerned with their supply chain impact.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The piqué knit of the Palermo is particularly well-suited for high-density embroidery. A firm, stable weave provides an excellent foundation for intricate logos and text, allowing our Telford-based team to achieve a crisp, professional finish that will not pull or distort the fabric. Embroidery is highly recommended for those seeking a premium, long-lasting branding solution.
For larger, more graphic-heavy designs, our technical print processes offer a bold alternative. Whether you require a company name across the back or a specific promotional message, our in-house experts—operating since 1976—ensure that every customisation is applied with precision, maintaining the garment's professional appearance through rigorous daily use.
Use Cases
Given its refined aesthetic, this polo shirt is an exceptional choice for the equestrian sector, hospitality environments, or front-of-house roles where a step up from a basic polo is required. It is equally at home in corporate settings or as part of a high-quality uniform for tradespeople who interact directly with clients and wish to project an image of expertise and reliability.

Practical Advice
This garment features a classic fit, providing a standard silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose. For staff who work in active roles, we recommend selecting their usual size to allow for full range of motion. For those working in cooler environments, the standard-weight cotton layers effectively under a jumper or softshell jacket without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your custom-branded polo, it is essential to follow proper care procedures. Proper maintenance ensures the cotton fibres remain strong and the contrast tipping stays vibrant.
We recommend washing the garment inside out. This simple step protects the embroidery or print from abrasive contact with other items in the wash, preventing premature wear of your company logo. Avoiding the use of bleach is critical, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and cause the colours to fade or bleed.
When drying, air drying is preferable to maintain the garment's shape. High heat from tumble dryers can lead to shrinkage and may damage the adhesive bonds in printed designs. If ironing is necessary, do so on a medium heat and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to ensure the longevity of the customisation.
