Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Long Sleeve Interlock T-Shirt is a superior example of a heavy-weight base layer, designed for professionals who value both comfort and garment longevity. Unlike standard lightweight shirts, this garment is constructed using an interlock knit, which provides a thicker, more stable fabric that feels substantial to the touch. The use of 100% organic ringspun combed cotton ensures that the material is not only sustainable but also exceptionally smooth against the skin, making it a reliable choice for long shifts in demanding environments.
Key Features
Enzyme and silicone washed: This specific treatment process softens the cotton fibres, resulting in a smooth finish that reduces friction and ensures the garment feels broken-in from the very first wear.
Fitted style with side seams: The slim-fit design is enhanced by side seams, which provide structural integrity and prevent the T-shirt from twisting or losing its shape after repeated laundering.
Narrow ribbed collar with elastane: The addition of elastane to the collar allows it to stretch for comfort while ensuring it snaps back to its original shape, preventing the collar from sagging over time.
Twin needle sleeves and hem: This double-stitched finishing provides essential reinforcement at the garment's edges, ensuring the seams do not unravel under the stresses of daily wear.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of this Tee Jays design. The interlock construction is a double-knit technique that creates a denser fabric than traditional jersey, offering better insulation and a more professional drape. By using ringspun combed cotton, the shorter, weaker fibres are removed, leaving only the long, strong strands that are tightly twisted together. This results in a fabric that is highly resistant to pilling and provides a flat, clean surface for customisation. With its 60°C wash rating, this T-shirt is engineered for high-temperature cleaning, which is vital for maintaining hygiene in various professional settings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavy-weight T-shirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery. The density of the interlock fabric makes it particularly well-suited for embroidery, as it provides a stable foundation that can support complex, high-stitch-count logos without puckering. For businesses requiring large, bold branding, the smooth, combed surface ensures that screen printing and heat transfers adhere perfectly, resulting in sharp lines and durable finishes. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your professional appearance is never compromised.
Use Cases
Given its refined fit and substantial feel, this long-sleeve T-shirt is perfect for front-of-house roles, retail environments, or as a smart-casual uniform for corporate events. Its durability also makes it a practical choice for staff in the beauty and healthcare sectors where frequent, high-temperature washing is required. It works exceptionally well as a standalone piece in the autumn or as a thermal layer beneath a jacket during winter months.

Practical Advice
This garment is a slim-fit style, designed to sit closer to the body for a modern silhouette. If you are between sizes or prefer a more generous fit for manual tasks that involve a lot of movement, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual measurement. The long-sleeve design provides excellent coverage, making it a versatile addition to any year-round workwear wardrobe.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment continues to perform at its best, we recommend taking advantage of its 60°C wash capability. This higher temperature is effective at removing deep-seated dirt and bacteria, ensuring your uniform remains hygienic and fresh.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will break down the organic cotton fibres and damage any custom print or embroidery. When drying, it is best to reshape the T-shirt while damp to maintain the integrity of the side seams and the fitted silhouette. Following these steps will help prevent premature wear and keep your branding looking sharp for as long as possible.
