Product Overview
The Tee Jays Luxury Stretch Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a sophisticated choice for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing movement. This garment is part of The Premium Collection, specifically engineered to provide a tailored silhouette through its slim fit design. As Tee Jays transitions towards fully organic materials, this polo shirt incorporates high-quality cotton that meets rigorous international standards, including OCS 100 and OEKO-TEX certification. The addition of elastane to the fabric blend ensures the garment retains its shape throughout the working day, providing a crisp, polished look that lasts.
Key Features
- Tailored Fit: Designed to provide a modern, slim silhouette that looks professional in corporate or leisure environments.
- Flat Knit Collar and Cuffs: Reinforced with elastane to prevent sagging or stretching, ensuring the neckline and sleeves remain sharp after repeated wear.
- Taped Neck and Shoulders: Internal taping provides structural reinforcement, preventing the garment from losing its shape across the stress points.
- Three-Button Placket: Features self-colour branded buttons for a cohesive, high-end finish.
- Side Vents: Small openings at the hem allow for a greater range of motion and ensure the shirt sits neatly over the waistband.
- Twin Needle Hem: Provides a durable, clean finish that resists fraying and adds to the overall longevity of the garment.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a premium mini piqué fabric, this polo shirt uses 95% ringspun combed cotton and 5% elastane. The ringspun combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a smoother, stronger yarn that feels superior against the skin. The standard-weight fabric is substantial enough for year-round wear while remaining breathable.
Performance is at the heart of this design; the elastane component provides essential 'recovery,' meaning the shirt stretches with your body and then returns to its original shape. This makes it an excellent choice for active roles where maintaining a smart appearance is non-negotiable. Furthermore, the garment is produced under the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), ensuring ethical manufacturing standards are met throughout the supply chain.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The mini piqué weave of this Tee Jays polo shirt provides an exceptionally stable surface for customisation. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, uses high-quality threads to recreate company logos and names with precision. Embroidery is particularly suited to the reinforced collar and chest area of this luxury garment.
For larger, more vibrant branding, this fabric also accepts high-quality print techniques. Whether you require a bold logo on the back or subtle branding on the sleeve, our in-house experts ensure the application respects the stretch properties of the elastane blend, preventing cracking or distortion of your design.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve polo shirt is a versatile addition to any professional wardrobe. It is highly suitable for the golf course, where the stretch fabric allows for an unhindered swing, or as a premium alternative to a standard shirt in corporate settings. It is also an ideal choice for front-of-house staff or technical representatives who require a garment that is more formal than a t-shirt but more flexible than a traditional button-down shirt.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored, slim-fit garment, you may wish to consider your layering requirements. It fits closely to the body for a modern look; if you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to wear a thermal layer underneath during colder months, you might find moving up one size provides the desired comfort. The long sleeves make it an excellent standalone piece for transitional weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical performance of the elastane blend, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided. Failure to do so may result in the loss of the garment's stretch recovery or damage to any custom embroidery or print.
We recommend washing this garment at moderate temperatures without the use of harsh bleaching agents. Bleach will break down the organic cotton fibres and cause the elastane to become brittle, which eventually leads to the garment losing its tailored shape. Always wash similar colours together to prevent dye transfer and preserve the vibrancy of the fabric.
