Product Overview
The Tee Jays Fashion Sof T-Shirt is a refined take on a workplace staple, engineered for those who require a more tailored appearance without sacrificing the robustness of traditional workwear. Crafted from 100% ringspun combed cotton, this heavy-weight garment offers a smooth, high-quality surface that feels substantial and premium to the touch. The fitted silhouette provides a contemporary aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to project a sharp, modern image while ensuring their team remains comfortable throughout the working day.
Key Features
Fitted Style: The slim-fit design ensures a professional and modern look that contours to the body, providing a more polished profile than standard, boxy T-shirts.
Ribbed Collar with Elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the collar allows it to retain its shape and elasticity even after repeated wear, preventing the neckline from stretching or sagging over time.
Taped Neck and Shoulders: Internal taping reinforces these high-stress areas, improving the garment's structural integrity and ensuring it maintains its shape after many washes.
Side Seams: Unlike tubular knits, side seams ensure the T-shirt maintains its tailored shape and does not twist or distort during laundering.
Twin Needle Sleeves and Hem: Double-stitched finishing provides a clean, professional appearance and adds essential durability to the areas most prone to wear and tear.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt is rooted in its superior material composition. By using 100% ringspun combed cotton, Tee Jays has created a fabric that is significantly softer and stronger than standard carded cotton. The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a cleaner yarn that produces a superior finish. As a heavy-weight fabric, it offers excellent opacity and a drape that suggests quality, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily professional use while remaining breathable.
Furthermore, this garment carries prestigious certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring it is free from harmful substances, and is produced under the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). It also supports the Better Cotton initiative, making it a responsible choice for the environmentally conscious business.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is exceptionally versatile when it comes to branding. For those seeking a classic, long-lasting finish, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names. The heavy-weight nature of the fabric provides a stable base that supports dense thread counts without puckering, ensuring your branding looks sharp and professional.
Alternatively, the smooth, tight weave of the combed cotton is perfect for screen printing or heat transfers. This is particularly effective for larger back designs or bold promotional graphics where clarity and colour vibrancy are paramount. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
Given its fitted silhouette and premium fabric, the Tee Jays Sof T-shirt is best suited for customer-facing roles, retail environments, or corporate events where presentation is key. It also serves as an excellent premium option for promotional merchandise or as a high-quality base layer for hospitality uniforms where a more fashionable cut is desired.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, we suggest reviewing the size guide carefully; if you prefer a more relaxed fit for your team, you may wish to consider sizing up. The heavy-weight fabric makes it an excellent choice for solo wear in warmer months or as a reliable, substantial base layer under a sweatshirt or jacket when the British weather turns.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your garment, we recommend a machine wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove most workplace soiling while preserving the strength of the cotton fibres.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh oxidizing agents will break down the natural cotton yarns and cause premature wear and fading. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment. If you must use a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent excessive shrinkage. Ironing should be done on a medium heat; however, ensure you do not iron directly over any printed customisation to avoid damaging the design.
