Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Active Long Sleeve Stretch Shirt represents a modern evolution in professional attire, merging the sharp aesthetic of a traditional office shirt with the performance characteristics of high-end athletic wear. Engineered for professionals who require both a polished appearance and unrestricted movement, this shirt is crafted from a sophisticated single jersey knit that prioritises comfort throughout the longest shifts.
Key Features
- Four-way stretch fabric: The inclusion of high-quality elastane allows the garment to move with the wearer, ensuring a comfortable fit that doesn't restrict motion during active tasks.
- Moisture-wicking technology: Designed to pull moisture away from the skin, this fabric keeps the wearer dry and comfortable in fast-paced environments like hospitality or busy offices.
- Quick-drying properties: The technical nature of the knit ensures that the garment dries rapidly after washing or during wear, maintaining a fresh appearance.
- Pre-shrunk finish: This treatment ensures the shirt retains its tailored shape and size wash after wash, providing long-term value for your uniform investment.
- Easy care fabric: Developed to resist excessive creasing, this material simplifies the laundering process and reduces the time spent at the ironing board.
Design & Performance
The T4031 is meticulously constructed from a blend of 91% cotton and 9% elastane. This high elastane content is significantly higher than standard stretch shirts, providing a true four-way stretch that maintains its recovery and shape over time. The single jersey knit offers a smoother, softer feel against the skin compared to traditional woven fabrics, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or those working in warmer climates.
The design details elevate the shirt's professional profile. It features a wide spread collar that sits perfectly whether worn open or with accessories, while the pearlised buttons add a subtle touch of elegance. The shaped fit, complemented by a back yoke and a curved hem, provides a tailored silhouette that looks professional when tucked in or worn out. The modern shaped cuffs with a button on the cuff gauntlet ensure a clean, tapered finish at the wrist.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its lightweight and stretchy nature, the stable jersey knit of this Tee Jays shirt is an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional corporate identity, we recommend embroidery. A finely detailed logo on the chest or collar provides a durable, high-quality finish that stands up to regular laundering.
For businesses requiring larger, more vibrant branding, heat-transfer printing is an effective option. This method allows for bold designs that integrate well with the stretch of the fabric. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring the same level of precision we have delivered since 1976.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically designed for 'active' professionals. It is the ideal choice for hospitality staff who need to remain agile while looking sophisticated, or for corporate teams who travel frequently and require a shirt that remains comfortable and presentable throughout the day. Its athletic properties also make it a superior choice for healthcare administration and retail management.

Practical Advice
As this is a 'Shaped Fit' garment with significant stretch, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a traditional blouse. If you prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, you may wish to consider one size larger than your usual measurement. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it an exceptional base layer under corporate knitwear or blazers without adding bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the elastane and ensure the moisture-wicking properties remain effective, we recommend following the care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance will extend the life of the garment and keep your branding looking sharp.
Wash the garment at the recommended temperature to prevent the breakdown of the stretch fibres. Avoid the use of fabric softeners where possible, as these can coat the technical fibres and reduce the moisture-wicking performance of the shirt.
When ironing, use a medium setting. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic elastane components, leading to a loss of shape. By treating the 'easy care' fabric with consideration, you will find it requires minimal effort to maintain its professional aesthetic.
