Product Overview
The Tee Jays Active Stretch Long Sleeve Shirt represents a significant shift in corporate attire, blending the sharp aesthetics of a formal shirt with the exceptional comfort of performance sportswear. Unlike traditional woven shirts that can feel restrictive during a long shift, this garment is constructed from a high-quality single jersey knit. This choice of fabric ensures a natural drape and superior softness against the skin, making it an ideal choice for professionals who demand both style and mobility throughout a demanding working day.
Key Features
- The four-way stretch fabric allows for a full range of motion without the garment losing its shape or pulling at the seams, providing all-day comfort.
- Advanced moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties efficiently draw perspiration away from the body, ensuring the wearer remains cool and composed in high-pressure environments.
- An easy-care finish simplifies maintenance, significantly reducing ironing time and keeping the shirt looking crisp with minimal effort.
- The shaped fit, enhanced by back darts, creates a modern, tailored silhouette that provides a professional appearance without the bulk of traditional shirts.
- Refined details, including a wide spread collar and pearlised buttons, offer a sophisticated finish suitable for any high-level business setting.
Design & Performance
Engineered with a blend of 91% cotton and 9% elastane, the performance of this fabric is central to the shirt's appeal. The high elastane content provides significant elasticity, which, combined with the modern shaped cuffs and curved hem, allows the garment to move in unison with the wearer. The lightweight fabric is pre-shrunk during manufacturing, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the fit and ensuring the shirt does not warp or decrease in size after the first wash. Every element, from the two-button adjustable cuffs to the button gauntlet, has been designed for those who require their workwear to perform as hard as they do.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine, smooth surface of the single jersey knit makes the Tee Jays Active Stretch Shirt an excellent canvas for customisation. For a traditional and authoritative business look, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, uses precision machinery to ensure your company logo is rendered with clarity and durability. If your branding requires larger, more vibrant designs, the stable fabric construction also accommodates high-quality printing beautifully. Regardless of the method chosen, our in-house experts ensure your branding is applied with the technical care it deserves.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for modern corporate environments where a professional yet approachable image is required. It is an excellent choice for front-of-house hospitality staff who need to remain agile while maintaining a polished appearance. Furthermore, it is a favoured option for professionals in active roles—such as surveyors or site managers—who must transition from travel to office meetings without compromising on comfort or style.
Why MyWorkwear
At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting the art of professional clothing since 1976. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we combine decades of technical knowledge with the latest customisation techniques. We understand that your uniform is a direct reflection of your business standards, which is why every Tee Jays garment we process undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets our exacting requirements.
Practical Advice
As this shirt features a tailored, shaped fit, we recommend reviewing our sizing guides carefully to achieve the desired silhouette. The lightweight nature of the jersey makes it an excellent layering piece under a blazer or V-neck jumper during colder months, though it possesses enough structural integrity to be worn as a standalone statement piece in warmer weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Active Stretch shirt, it is vital to adhere to the specified care guidelines. Proper maintenance ensures the elastane fibres remain resilient and the moisture-wicking properties stay effective over the life of the garment.
We advise following the easy-care instructions closely to prevent unnecessary wear on the knit. Avoiding harsh chemicals and ensuring the garment is washed at the recommended temperature will help prevent the pre-shrunk cotton from becoming distorted, ensuring your professional appearance remains consistent wash after wash.
