Product Overview
The Stella Nova vintage t-shirt from Stanley/Stella is a well-engineered garment designed specifically for a professional yet relaxed female silhouette. Unlike standard mass-produced shirts, this t-shirt undergoes a specialised garment-dyeing process. This results in a subtle, lived-in aesthetic that adds character to your company uniform without sacrificing a professional appearance. It is a sophisticated choice for those who require a uniform that feels as good as it looks.
Key Features
100% Cotton Construction: The use of pure cotton ensures maximum breathability and a soft touch against the skin, keeping the wearer comfortable throughout a busy working day.
Garment-Dyed Finish: This process creates a unique vintage appearance in shades such as Blue Stone and Blush, ensuring your team stands out with a premium, non-uniform look.
Female-Specific Fit: This t-shirt is tailored to provide a flattering and comfortable shape, avoiding the boxy fit often associated with generic workwear.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a medium-weight cotton, the Stella Nova offers a substantial feel while remaining breathable. The fabric's natural fibres allow for excellent air circulation, which is essential for staff working in active environments. The garment-dyeing technique not only provides a beautiful depth of colour but also means the shirt has already undergone a level of pre-treatment, leading to a more stable fit over time. Reinforced stitching ensures that the garment maintains its structural integrity, even after frequent use in a demanding professional setting.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance — ideal for logos and names — and stands up to repeated washing without fading, ensuring your branding remains sharp for the long term. Alternatively, print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, making it a versatile choice for high-impact visual branding. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation in Telford, ensuring that decades of expertise go into every garment we produce.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is an excellent choice for boutique retail environments, front-of-house hospitality roles, or creative agencies looking for a high-quality, branded uniform that avoids the stiff feel of traditional corporate wear. It is equally suited for trade shows and promotional events where a relaxed yet superior finish is required.

Practical Advice
With a size range from XS to 2XL, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team. The vintage aesthetic of this t-shirt makes it a perfect base layer under a smart jacket for a business-casual look, or as a standalone piece during the warmer months. The garment-dyed nature means each piece may have slight variations in shade, which only adds to the unique, high-end feel of the uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of this 100% cotton garment, it is essential to follow the specific instructions on the care label to the letter. This ensures the fabric remains soft and the garment retains its tailored shape over time.
Washing at the recommended temperature prevents the natural cotton fibres from shrinking. If this instruction is ignored, you may find the garment becomes too tight and loses its intended fit.
Using bleach or harsh chemicals should be avoided, as these will strip the unique garment-dyed colour and weaken the cotton threads, leading to premature wear and a faded appearance.
When drying, we suggest following the label's guidance regarding heat. Excessive heat in a tumble dryer can damage the integrity of both the fabric and your custom embroidery or print, potentially causing the branding to crack or peel.
Ironing should be performed with care, particularly around customised areas. Applying direct heat to a print can cause it to melt or distort, which would immediately undermine the professional appearance of your team.
