Product Overview
The Tee Jays Heavy Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt is a sophisticated choice for those requiring a garment that blends professional aesthetics with industrial-grade resilience. Constructed from 100% combed ringspun cotton, this polo shirt offers a significantly more refined texture and higher level of comfort than standard alternatives. The substantial, heavyweight fabric provides a structured look that holds its shape throughout the working day, making it an ideal choice for teams that need to maintain a sharp, authoritative appearance.
Key Features
- Fitted Style: The tailored cut provides a modern, professional silhouette that remains comfortable during active use.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: These elements are designed to retain their shape and prevent stretching, ensuring the garment looks pristine even after repeated wear.
- Taped Neck and Shoulders: Internal reinforcement along the seams increases the structural integrity of the shirt, preventing sagging and extending the product's lifespan.
- Side Vents: Small openings at the hem allow for a greater range of motion and improved breathability, particularly useful when moving between different tasks.
- Twin Needle Hem: Double-stitched finishing at the base provides extra strength, reducing the risk of fraying in high-wear areas.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its material composition. By using combed ringspun cotton, the shorter, weaker fibres are removed, leaving only the longest and strongest strands. This results in a fabric that is exceptionally smooth to the touch and remarkably durable. The piqué weave creates a classic micro-texture that allows for better air circulation, keeping the wearer comfortable in varied climates.
Ethical considerations are also at the forefront of this garment's design. It is certified under the OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning every component has been tested for harmful substances. Additionally, the involvement with the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and the Better Cotton™ programme ensures that your workwear supports responsible global supply chains and sustainable farming practices.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, making it a versatile choice for company branding. For a truly professional and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery. The substantial weight of the piqué fabric provides a stable base for dense stitching, ensuring your company logo remains crisp and well-defined over time.
For larger, high-impact designs, our precision printing techniques offer a vibrant finish that integrates seamlessly with the fabric. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages every aspect of the customisation process to ensure your branding meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
Due to its premium finish and fitted cut, this polo shirt is excellently suited for front-of-house staff, corporate environments, and management roles. It is also robust enough for skilled tradespeople who require a smart, unified appearance when visiting clients or attending site meetings. It bridges the gap between casual workwear and formal office attire with ease.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted garment, we suggest reviewing our size guide carefully to ensure the best fit. If you prefer a more traditional, looser cut, you may find that selecting one size larger than usual provides the desired silhouette. This polo shirt layers effectively under fleeces or softshell jackets without creating excessive bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-quality finish and structural integrity of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the effective removal of oils and grime common in the workplace while sanitising the fabric.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the cotton fibres and cause premature fading of the colour and any custom branding. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment; if you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low setting to prevent shrinkage and preserve the lifespan of the combed cotton.
