Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Pulse Twin Piqué Polo Shirt represents a sophisticated approach to standard-weight workwear. Constructed from 100% ringspun combed cotton, this garment offers a superior level of softness and a refined texture that distinguishes it from basic alternatives. Designed with a classic fit that accommodates all team members, it provides a consistent, professional appearance across your entire workforce. The absence of a branded neck label makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to create a bespoke, private-label feel for their uniform.
Key Features
- Ribbed collar: This feature ensures the neckline maintains its shape even after repeated wear and laundering, preventing the 'curled' look often seen in lower-quality garments.
- Taped neck: Internal taping provides a smooth finish against the skin and reinforces the shoulder seams, which are frequent points of stress.
- Reinforced two-button placket: The added reinforcement at the base of the placket ensures the opening remains secure and resistant to tearing during daily activity.
- Twin needle sleeves and hem: This double-stitched finish provides a clean, professional edge and significantly reduces the risk of unraveling or fraying.
- Side seams: Unlike tubular garments, side seams ensure the polo shirt retains its tailored shape and prevents twisting during movement.
Design & Performance
The use of ringspun combed cotton is a deliberate choice for performance. By combing the cotton, shorter fibres and impurities are removed, leaving only the longest, strongest strands to be spun into yarn. This results in a fabric that is not only exceptionally soft against the skin but also remarkably durable. The piqué weave enhances breathability, allowing for better airflow—a critical factor for staff working in active environments or hospitality settings.
As a standard-weight garment, the Pulse Twin offers the right balance of substance and lightness. It is heavy enough to hang correctly and provide adequate coverage, yet light enough to ensure comfort during long shifts. The garment also carries several prestigious certifications, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Better Cotton, ensuring your workwear meets high ethical and environmental standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is a versatile canvas for your branding requirements. For a formal and prestigious aesthetic, embroidery is highly recommended. The stable piqué weave supports high-density stitch counts, ensuring your company logo remains crisp and professional through industrial use.
Alternatively, for large-scale branding or promotional events, our print options offer vibrant colour reproduction and clarity. Whether you choose embroidery for staff names or bold printing for a back logo, our in-house team in Telford—with expertise dating back to 1976—will ensure a superior finish that reflects the quality of your own business.
Use Cases
The unisex design and classic fit make this polo shirt a staple for diverse industries. It is particularly well-suited for front-of-house hospitality teams, retail environments, and corporate events where a polished appearance is paramount. Its durability also makes it a reliable choice for lighter trade work where a professional alternative to a t-shirt is required.

Practical Advice
This polo shirt is designed with a classic fit, providing ample room for movement without appearing oversized. For those who prefer a more tailored look, we suggest reviewing the measurements to ensure the best fit. Due to the high cotton content, it layers exceptionally well under sweatshirts or softshell jackets during the colder months without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of your 100% cotton polo shirt is essential for long-term value. We recommend following the manufacturer's instructions found on the care label to prevent the natural fibres from breaking down prematurely. Neglecting proper care can lead to a loss of the garment's characteristic softness and may cause the piqué weave to lose its crisp texture.
When washing, it is advisable to turn the garment inside out. This simple step protects any custom embroidery or print from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, ensuring your branding remains vibrant and intact. Avoid excessive heat during drying, as high temperatures can cause cotton fibres to contract, potentially resulting in minor shrinkage or distortion of the side seams.
