Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Luxury Stretch Long Sleeve Polo Shirt (T146) is a sophisticated choice for professionals who require a step up from the standard workwear polo. Designed with a tailored, slim fit that specifically caters to the female form, this garment balances an elegant silhouette with the practical benefits of long sleeves. As part of 'The Premium Collection', this polo is constructed from high-quality organic materials, making it a superior choice for businesses that value both style and sustainability.
Key Features
- The five-button placket with self-colour buttons creates a refined, classic neckline that is more stylish than the standard three-button alternative.
- Double pre-shrunk fabric ensures the garment maintains its original dimensions and fit after washing, reducing the risk of the shirt becoming too short or tight over time.
- A flat knit collar and self-fabric cuffs, both containing elastane, ensure the garment retains its shape at the pressure points, preventing the collar from curling and the sleeves from sagging.
- Discreet side vents provide extra room around the hips, allowing the garment to drape naturally and move with the wearer without pulling.
- The twin needle hem provides a secure, reinforced finish that prevents unravelling and ensures the shirt can withstand the rigours of daily wear.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its material composition: a blend of 95% organic ringspun combed cotton and 5% elastane in a mini piqué weave. The ringspun combed cotton provides a smooth, soft texture that feels comfortable against the skin, while the removal of shorter fibres during the combing process increases the strength and durability of the yarn. The addition of elastane is critical; it provides a 'luxury stretch' that allows the shirt to move with the wearer while always returning to its original shape.
This is a standard-weight garment that offers a substantial feel without being heavy, making it suitable for year-round use in indoor environments. Furthermore, its certifications—including OEKO-TEX Standard 100, OCS 100, and BSCI—provide peace of mind that the garment has been produced under strict environmental and social standards, ensuring it is as ethical as it is well-engineered.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The high-density mini piqué fabric of the T146 makes it an exceptional surface for customisation. For those seeking a professional and authoritative appearance, embroidery is the recommended method. The tight weave of the organic cotton supports intricate logos and text, providing a durable, high-end finish that complements the 'Luxury' nature of the Tee Jays brand.
If your branding requires larger, more colourful graphics, our printing processes offer a crisp and vibrant alternative. Whether you choose embroidery for your company logo or print for a promotional event, our in-house team in Telford—who have been perfecting their craft since 1976—will ensure your branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved polo is ideal for front-of-house staff, corporate environments, and the higher education sector, such as college or university uniforms. It is particularly well-suited for professional roles where a standard short-sleeved polo may feel too casual, but a full formal shirt is not practical. Its organic credentials also make it a primary choice for eco-conscious organisations.

Practical Advice
This garment features a tailored, slim fit. If you prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit, we suggest considering one size larger than your usual choice. The long sleeves and standard-weight fabric make it an excellent layering piece; it sits comfortably under a blazer for a smart look or a softshell jacket for more active duties.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of the organic cotton and the elasticity of the fabric is key to ensuring your polo shirt remains in professional condition for as long as possible. We recommend washing the garment inside out; this simple step protects the surface of the fabric and your custom embroidery or print from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum.
Avoid the use of bleach or strong chemical additives, as these can break down the organic fibres and damage the elastane, which will eventually lead to the garment losing its shape. We also advise against high-heat tumble drying; air drying or using a low-heat setting will prevent the fabric from becoming brittle and help keep the colours vibrant for longer. Always iron on the reverse side to avoid direct heat contact with any applied branding.
