Product Overview
The Tee Jays Luxury Stretch Piqué Polo Shirt represents a sophisticated advancement in professional attire. Designed for those who demand both a sharp aesthetic and the flexibility required for a busy workday, this polo shirt balances a modern fitted style with high-quality materials. It is crafted with a focus on sustainability and comfort, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to project a premium image while prioritising the well-being of their staff.
Key Features
- Mini Piqué Weave: The fine weave of the fabric provides a smoother, more refined texture than standard piqué, resulting in a more professional appearance and a superior surface for branding.
- Organic Ringspun Combed Cotton: This premium cotton choice offers a softer hand-feel and ensures the garment is comfortable for all-day wear, while also meeting Organic Content Standards.
- Elastane Integration: The inclusion of elastane allows the garment to stretch and recover, ensuring it maintains its fitted silhouette regardless of your movements.
- Flat Knit Collar and Cuffs: Reinforced with elastane, the collar and cuffs are designed to hold their shape and resist the curling often associated with lower-quality garments.
- Taped Neck: This structural detail provides additional comfort against the skin and prevents the neckline from stretching out over time.
- Side Vents and Twin Needle Hem: Side vents offer increased mobility, while the twin needle stitching on the hem ensures the garment is robust enough to withstand the rigours of daily work.
Design & Performance
This is a substantial, heavy-weight garment that feels significantly more durable than a standard polo shirt. The blend of 95% organic ringspun combed cotton and 5% elastane creates a fabric that is both breathable and resilient. The fitted style is modern and flattering, catering to a professional environment where first impressions matter.
Performance is further enhanced by the OCS 100 certification, which confirms that the garment contains at least 95% organic material. This commitment to quality extends to the finishing details, such as the self-colour branded buttons on the three-button placket, which provide a cohesive and well-engineered look.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Luxury Stretch Piqué Polo Shirt is an ideal canvas for customisation. Because the mini piqué weave is tighter and smoother than traditional alternatives, it allows for exceptionally clear and detailed embroidery. A high-stitch-count logo will sit flat and look sharp, providing a superior finish that reflects your brand's quality.
For those requiring larger designs, the fabric's stability also makes it suitable for various printing techniques. Our in-house team in Telford has been handling professional customisation since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision and care it deserves. Whether you choose embroidery for a classic look or print for a bold statement, this polo shirt handles both with ease.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is perfectly suited for hospitality environments, premium retail settings, or corporate events where a step up from standard uniform is required. Its fitted design also makes it a popular choice for client-facing professionals in the trade industries who want to maintain a smart, approachable appearance while on-site.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted style, those who prefer a more relaxed or traditional fit may wish to consider ordering a size larger than usual. The heavy-weight nature of the fabric makes it an excellent layering piece; it sits comfortably under a blazer or a work jacket without adding unnecessary bulk, while the elastane ensures it won't feel restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this garment, it is vital to adhere to the care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper care ensures the organic cotton remains soft and the elastane continues to provide shape retention.
We recommend a standard domestic wash, as excessive temperatures can damage the elastane fibres and lead to a loss of elasticity, particularly in the collar and cuffs. Avoiding high heat during the washing process will keep your polo shirt looking fitted and sharp for longer.
When it comes to drying, air drying is preferred to preserve the integrity of the organic fibres and the custom branding. Using a tumble dryer on high heat can cause shrinkage and may impact the longevity of any print or embroidery applied to the garment.
If ironing is required, do so on a medium heat and avoid ironing directly over any printed areas. This prevents the heat from compromising the bond of the print to the fabric, ensuring your logo remains vibrant and intact throughout the life of the shirt.
