Product Overview
The Tee Jays Long Sleeve Sof T-Shirt is a refined take on a workwear staple, engineered for those who require a professional silhouette without compromising on the comfort required for a full day's labour. Crafted from premium ringspun combed cotton, this long-sleeved garment offers a smoother, stronger finish than standard cotton alternatives, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to elevate their corporate identity.
Key Features
- Double pre-shrunk fabric ensures that the garment maintains its intended shape and size after repeated washing, preventing the common issue of shrinkage that plagues inferior workwear.
- The slim fit design provides a contemporary, tailored appearance that looks sharp in customer-facing environments or as a streamlined base layer.
- A narrow ribbed collar and cuffs featuring elastane help the garment retain its structure, ensuring that the neck and sleeves do not sag or lose their shape over time.
- Taped neck and shoulders reinforce these high-stress areas, providing the structural integrity needed to withstand the rigours of daily movement.
- Twin needle stitching throughout offers a superior finish and robust seams that are far less likely to fray or fail under pressure.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt is rooted in its material composition. By using 100% ringspun combed cotton, Tee Jays ensures that the shorter, weaker fibres are removed during the spinning process. This leaves only the longest, strongest fibres, resulting in a standard weight fabric that is exceptionally soft yet surprisingly durable. The double pre-shrinking process is a mark of quality, ensuring that the fit you buy is the fit you keep.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment serves as a superior canvas for your company branding. For a traditional and authoritative professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. The dense weave of the combed cotton provides a stable foundation for intricate logos and text, ensuring a high-quality finish that lasts. If you require large, high-impact designs, our printing techniques offer vibrant and durable results. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on our heritage that dates back to 1976.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved T-shirt is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is an excellent choice for retail or hospitality staff who require a smart-casual uniform, and it functions perfectly as a reliable base layer for tradespeople working in cooler conditions. Its refined fit also makes it a popular choice for promotional events where a professional image is paramount.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a slim fit, we recommend consulting our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team. If your staff prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to wear multiple layers underneath, you may wish to consider ordering a size up. For those working outdoors, this T-shirt pairs excellently with a softshell jacket or gilet for a professional, layered look.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-quality finish and ensure the longevity of your custom branding, proper care is essential. Following the correct laundering procedures will keep the cotton fibres strong and the colours vibrant.
This garment is designed to be washed at 60°C. This higher temperature is particularly effective for removing the oils and dirt often encountered in a work environment, ensuring the garment remains hygienic and professional. Failure to wash at the correct temperature may lead to the buildup of residues that can eventually degrade the fabric.
We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing. This simple step protects the face of the fabric and any custom print or embroidery from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the natural cotton fibres and cause your branding to fade prematurely.
