Product Overview
The Tee Jays Knitted Polo Shirt (T6002) is a sophisticated alternative to standard workwear, designed for professionals who require a polished appearance without sacrificing comfort. This garment is meticulously crafted from a premium blend of 50% merino wool and 50% polyacrylic, offering a refined balance of natural warmth and synthetic resilience. The fully fashioned knit construction means each piece is shaped specifically during the knitting process, resulting in a superior fit and a garment that maintains its structural integrity over time.
Key Features
- The tailored fit provides a contemporary, sharp silhouette that enhances a professional image while allowing for comfortable movement throughout the working day.
- Constructed as a fully fashioned knit, this polo offers a level of quality and durability often missing from standard cut-and-sew garments.
- A classic three-button placket featuring self-colour buttons ensures a clean, cohesive look suitable for formal or smart-casual environments.
- Knitted ribbed cuffs and hem provide a secure fit that prevents the garment from losing its shape, ensuring you look just as professional at the end of your shift as at the start.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of this polo shirt stems from its intelligent material composition. The inclusion of merino wool provides exceptional breathability and temperature regulation, keeping the wearer comfortable in various indoor and outdoor conditions. By blending this with polyacrylic, Tee Jays has ensured the fabric remains durable and easier to maintain than pure wool garments, making it a practical choice for daily professional use.
The fine-gauge knit results in a smooth, high-density fabric that feels lightweight yet provides essential insulation. This makes it a versatile piece for year-round wear. Furthermore, the garment is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, ensuring it has been tested for harmful substances, and produced under BSCI-compliant conditions, reflecting a commitment to ethical manufacturing standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a garment of this quality and texture, we strongly recommend embroidery to showcase your company logo. Embroidery provides a textured, high-end finish that complements the fine-knit fabric, ensuring your branding looks prestigious and remains durable through regular laundering. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, uses precision technology to ensure every stitch is perfect.
While embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional corporate look, print can be utilised for specific branding requirements. However, the tactile nature of the merino-blend knit is best suited to the depth and quality of embroidered logos. Our in-house specialists are on hand to ensure your customisation meets the highest standards of our heritage-led service.
Use Cases
This knitted polo is an ideal solution for management teams, security professionals, or front-of-house staff where a standard polo shirt may appear too casual. Its refined aesthetic makes it perfect for corporate environments, trade shows, or any role where making a strong first impression is critical. It provides the warmth of knitwear with the professional structure of a collared shirt.

Practical Advice
The T6002 features a tailored fit, which is designed to be more form-fitting than a traditional loose polo. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to wear an additional layer beneath the polo, we suggest considering a size larger than your standard measurement. This garment layers exceptionally well under a professional blazer or a formal work jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your merino-blend polo, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidance on the care label. Proper maintenance ensures the wool fibres remain soft and the polyacrylic blend continues to provide the necessary durability for daily wear.
Avoid using bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners, as these can damage the delicate merino fibres and cause the colours—and your custom branding—to fade prematurely. When drying, it is advisable to lay the garment flat to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the knit, ensuring the tailored silhouette remains intact for the life of the shirt.
