Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Heavy Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt is a sophisticated garment engineered for professionals who require a blend of durability and a refined aesthetic. Crafted from premium ringspun combed cotton, this heavyweight polo offers a more substantial feel than standard alternatives, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily wear while maintaining its shape. The fitted silhouette provides a modern, tailored appearance that bridges the gap between casual workwear and formal corporate attire.
Key Features
- Fitted Style: Designed specifically for the female form, providing a professional and flattering silhouette that avoids the boxy look of unisex garments.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: These reinforced elements are built to retain their shape over time, preventing the 'rolling' often seen in lower-quality alternatives.
- Taped Neck and Shoulders: Internal taping covers the raw seams, increasing wearer comfort and providing structural reinforcement to high-stress areas.
- Four-Button Placket: Features self-colour branded buttons for a subtle, high-end finish that allows for adjustable ventilation and style.
- Side Vents: Small openings at the hem ensure the garment moves with the wearer, preventing bunching when seated or active.
- Twin Needle Hem: Double stitching at the hem provides extra strength, ensuring the garment doesn't fray or unravel at the base.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its material choice. By using 100% ringspun combed cotton, the fabric is significantly smoother and stronger than standard cotton. The combing process removes shorter, weaker fibres, resulting in a cleaner surface that feels softer against the skin. The piqué weave provides that classic textured finish which not only looks professional but also aids in breathability, making it comfortable for long shifts. As a heavyweight garment, it offers excellent opacity and a drape that conveys quality, ensuring your team looks consistently sharp.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo is an ideal canvas for customisation. The substantial piqué fabric is particularly well-suited for embroidery; the density of the weave supports intricate needlework, ensuring your company logo sits flat without puckering the surrounding material. This provides a traditional, 'proper' professional appearance. For larger, high-impact branding, the smooth combed surface also accommodates high-quality printing. Our in-house team in Telford, drawing on expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
Given its robust construction and polished appearance, this polo is perfectly suited for hospitality environments, high-end retail uniforms, or corporate event wear. It is an excellent choice for businesses looking to unify their team with a premium look that can withstand frequent laundering and demanding workdays.

Practical Advice
This is a 'fitted' style garment, which offers a more contoured shape. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit, you may wish to consider selecting a size larger than your usual measurement. The heavyweight nature of the fabric makes it an excellent layering piece; it pairs seamlessly under a softshell jacket or jumper for outdoor or seasonal work.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your professional wardrobe is essential for long-term value. This garment is suitable for a 60°C wash, which is particularly beneficial for hygiene and the removal of stubborn stains that can occur in active work environments. Following this temperature guide ensures the cotton fibres are thoroughly cleaned without compromising the garment's structure.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton fibres and cause the colour to fade prematurely. We recommend air drying where possible; if tumble drying, use a low heat setting to prevent excessive shrinkage. Ironing on a medium heat will restore the crisp finish of the piqué weave, but please take care to iron around any printed or embroidered logos to avoid damaging the customisation.
