Product Overview
The Tee Jays Long Sleeve Interlock T-Shirt is a premium addition to any professional wardrobe, offering a refined alternative to standard workwear basics. This garment is constructed from heavyweight, 100% ringspun combed organic cotton, providing a substantial feel that signals quality without sacrificing comfort. Its uniquely tailored, shaped design ensures a sharp silhouette, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to project a sophisticated image through their staff uniforms while maintaining the practicality of a long-sleeved garment.
Key Features
- Double-stitched seams provide essential structural integrity, ensuring the t-shirt withstands the rigours of daily wear and repeated laundering without fraying.
- Double pre-shrunk fabric ensures the garment maintains its dimensions and fit over time, protecting your investment from the common issue of post-wash shrinkage.
- Long-fibre cotton construction creates a smoother surface and increased durability compared to standard short-fibre alternatives.
- Enzyme-washed and silicone-treated for an exceptionally soft hand-feel and a polished, lint-free finish that remains comfortable throughout the day.
- Certified organic cotton credentials support corporate social responsibility goals while providing a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious businesses.
Design & Performance
The interlock knit of this t-shirt is what truly sets it apart from standard single-jersey alternatives. This technical construction results in a fabric that is thicker, more stable, and offers excellent opacity. The use of ringspun combed organic cotton means the shorter fibres have been meticulously removed, leaving only the long, strong strands that resist pilling and look superior for longer. The enzyme wash and silicone treatment are not merely for luxury; they ensure the fabric remains smooth against the skin and resists the typical fuzziness that can plague lower-quality workwear over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This heavyweight long-sleeve t-shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, thanks to its high-density interlock weave. For companies seeking a traditional, high-end professional appearance, embroidery is highly recommended. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch logos or staff names onto the chest or sleeves, creating a durable and prestigious finish that stands up to industrial laundering.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the silicone-treated cotton is perfect for screen printing or heat transfers. This is the preferred route for larger, more vibrant designs where bold brand visibility is the priority. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques in-house, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
The TJ007 is versatile enough for a variety of professional sectors. It is particularly well-suited for corporate environments where a polo shirt might be too casual, but a formal shirt is unnecessary. It also serves as a robust base layer or standalone piece for tradespeople working in customer-facing roles, such as surveyors, site managers, or premium installers, who require a balance of durability and professional presentation.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this garment features a shaped fit designed to sit closer to the body. If you prefer a more relaxed or traditional loose feel, you may wish to consider sizing up. The long-sleeve design makes it an excellent layering piece; it fits comfortably under a gilet or jacket without adding excessive bulk, while the heavyweight fabric provides enough warmth to be worn alone during transitional seasons.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of this garment, we recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This higher temperature capability is particularly beneficial for workwear, as it ensures more effective removal of bacteria and stubborn stains acquired during the working day.
It is important to wash this t-shirt with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer. Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the organic cotton fibres and compromise the structural integrity of the fabric over time.
We advise against tumble drying this product. Air drying is the safest method to prevent unnecessary heat stress, which can lead to shrinkage and premature wear of any applied customisation. Finally, if you have opted for a printed design, do not iron directly over the print, as the heat will damage the transfer and ruin the professional finish of your branding.
