Product Overview
The Tee Jays Ladies Luxury Stretch V Neck Polo Shirt is a refined interpretation of a classic workwear staple, engineered for the professional environment. As part of our Premium Collection, this garment prioritises a superior finish and a tailored aesthetic. The use of organic ringspun combed cotton blended with elastane ensures that the shirt maintains its shape and provides a comfortable range of motion throughout the day.
By utilising an open V placket rather than traditional buttons, this polo offers a clean, contemporary look that suits various corporate and active roles. The inclusion of organic materials, certified by the Organic Content Standard, reflects a commitment to responsible sourcing without sacrificing the tactile quality expected from luxury workwear.
Key Features
- Mini Piqué Weave: Provides a subtle, refined texture that is smoother than standard piqué, offering a more professional appearance.
- Double Pre-Shrunk: The fabric undergoes a rigorous pre-shrinking process twice to ensure the garment maintains its original dimensions and tailored fit after repeated laundering.
- Enzyme Washed & Silicone Treatment: This combination results in a remarkably soft hand-feel and a clean surface that is less prone to pilling and fuzzing.
- Elastane-Infused Collar: The flat knit collar includes elastane to prevent the curling and sagging often seen in lower-quality polo shirts.
- Herringbone Taped Neck: Adds structural integrity to the neckline, preventing stretching and providing a tidy internal finish.
- Twin Needle Cuffs and Hem: Double-stitched seams provide essential reinforcement at high-stress points, ensuring the garment remains intact during active use.
Design & Performance
This standard-weight polo shirt is constructed from 95% organic ringspun combed cotton and 5% elastane. The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, leaving only the strongest and longest cotton strands, which results in a more durable and smoother fabric. The addition of elastane is critical for the tailored fit; it allows the garment to contour to the body while providing the flexibility required for movement.
The performance is further enhanced by the enzyme wash, which breaks down surface fibres to create a smooth finish. This is particularly important for professionals who require their uniform to look as pristine at the end of a shift as it did at the start. The mini piqué construction offers a breathable structure, making it a reliable choice for indoor environments and warmer climates.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The high-density mini piqué surface of this Tee Jays polo is an excellent canvas for customisation. For a superior finish, we recommend embroidery. The stable weave of the combed cotton supports intricate logo designs and text, maintaining the professional appearance of your brand. Embroidery is particularly effective on the chest or sleeve for a permanent, high-quality mark.
For larger, more graphic designs, print remains a viable option. The silicone treatment provides a smooth surface that allows for clean ink adhesion. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been refining these processes since 1976 to ensure your company branding is represented accurately and durably.
Use Cases
The refined design makes this polo shirt exceptionally versatile. It is an ideal choice for the golf course, where the stretch fabric allows for an unhindered swing. It also serves as an excellent uniform for hospitality staff, corporate events, or as part of a premium retail uniform where a professional, approachable look is required. Its organic certification also makes it the preferred choice for businesses with specific environmental and ethical procurement policies.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a tailored fit, it is designed to sit closer to the body than a standard-fit polo. If you prefer a looser feel or intend to wear a base layer underneath, you may wish to consider one size larger than your usual measurement. The elastane content will accommodate movement, so the shirt will feel flexible even with a closer fit.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity and the soft finish of your Tee Jays polo requires adherence to proper laundering principles. Regular care ensures the silicone treatment and enzyme wash continue to provide that luxury feel over the life of the garment.
When washing, always follow the temperature guidelines provided on the internal label. Failure to do so can compromise the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of the shirt's 'recovery' properties and causing the tailored fit to sag over time. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the organic cotton fibres and cause premature fading of the fabric colour.
We recommend air drying where possible. Excessive heat from tumble drying can damage the flat knit collar and cause the herringbone neck tape to shrink at a different rate than the main body fabric, resulting in a distorted neckline. If ironing, use a medium setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered customisation to prevent damage to the branding.
