Product Overview
The Tee Jays Heavy Polo is a cornerstone of professional attire, engineered for those who require a garment that balances a refined aesthetic with substantial durability. Crafted from high-quality long-fibre cotton, this polo shirt offers a firm, crisp texture that maintains its shape throughout the working day. Its slightly slimmer fit and tailored sleeve shape provide a contemporary silhouette without sacrificing the comfort necessary for active roles. As a flagship item in the Tee Jays corporate collection, it represents a commitment to quality and longevity in workwear.
Key Features
- Double Pre-shrunk Fabric: This ensures the garment retains its size and fit even after multiple high-temperature washes, preventing the frustration of shrinking workwear.
- Taped Shoulders: Reinforced shoulder seams prevent stretching and sagging, ensuring the polo keeps its professional structure over time.
- Clean Finished Placket: Provides a sharp, polished appearance at the neckline, suitable for client-facing environments where first impressions matter.
- Long-fibre Organic Cotton: The use of superior long-fibre cotton results in a smoother surface and increased longevity compared to standard short-staple alternatives.
- Double Stitched Seams: Critical areas are reinforced to prevent fraying and seam failure, making it ideal for rigorous daily use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% ringspun combed organic cotton piqué, this heavyweight polo is designed to withstand the demands of a busy workplace. The piqué knit provides a breathable yet substantial feel, offering excellent insulation in cooler environments while allowing for airflow. The organic certification ensures that the fabric is produced with environmental responsibility in mind, while the Amfori BSCI and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 accreditations guarantee ethical production and the absence of harmful substances. The substantial weight of the fabric provides a tactile sense of quality that is immediately apparent to the wearer and ensures the garment hangs correctly on the body.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The firm, crisp weave of this Tee Jays polo makes it an exceptional canvas for customisation. For a traditional and authoritative business appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford uses precision machinery to apply logos and staff names, creating a three-dimensional finish that is both durable and sophisticated. Alternatively, the smooth surface of the long-fibre cotton is perfectly suited for high-quality printing, which is ideal for larger, more vibrant branding or promotional messaging. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has the expertise to ensure your branding is applied with the highest level of detail and care.
Use Cases
This polo is versatile enough for a variety of sectors. It is particularly well-suited for corporate environments where a smart-casual uniform is required, as well as for hospitality staff who need a garment that can handle frequent, high-temperature washing. The broad size range, reaching up to 5XL, makes it an inclusive choice for entire workforces, ensuring every team member looks uniform and professional, regardless of their role.

Practical Advice
Given the slightly slimmer fit of this garment, we recommend reviewing the size guide carefully, especially if layering over a base layer. The substantial fabric weight means it provides more warmth than a standard t-shirt, making it a reliable choice for year-round wear in temperature-controlled environments or as a sturdy mid-layer in colder conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your polo, it is essential to follow the recommended care routine. This garment is safe for a machine wash at 60°C, which is particularly beneficial for removing stubborn stains and maintaining hygiene in demanding work environments. Washing at this temperature ensures deep cleaning without compromising the fabric's integrity.
We advise washing the polo with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer, which could dull the vibrancy of the fabric and any white embroidery. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the organic cotton fibres and weaken the structural integrity of the garment over time.
The polo should not be tumble dried. Natural drying is preferred to prevent unnecessary wear on the seams and to ensure the garment does not experience heat-related distortion. Finally, if your garment features a printed design, do not iron directly over the print, as the high heat will damage the application. Ironing on the reverse will keep the fabric smooth and professional without risking the branding.
