Product Overview
The Tee Jays Luxury stretch shirt is a sophisticated evolution of traditional corporate attire. Engineered for the professional who requires both a crisp aesthetic and the freedom of movement, this shirt utilizes a high-specification blend of long-fibre certified organic cotton and elastane. The result is a garment that presents the clean lines of a tailored shirt with the tactile comfort and flexibility typically found in performance wear.
Key Features
- Tailored fit: Engineered to provide a contemporary, streamlined silhouette that ensures a professional appearance without excess bulk.
- Mini piqué weave: A subtle, textured finish that offers a more refined look than standard flat-weave fabrics.
- Double preshrunk construction: This process ensures the garment maintains its original dimensions and fit, even after repeated laundering.
- Enzyme-washed fabric: Provides an exceptionally smooth surface and soft hand-feel, while reducing the risk of pilling over time.
- Self-fabric collar and buttoned cuffs: Maintains structural integrity and a formal aesthetic suitable for corporate environments.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of this shirt lies in its fabric composition. By using 95% ringspun combed organic cotton, Tee Jays has prioritised breathability and natural comfort. The 'long-fibre' nature of the cotton is a critical quality indicator; longer fibres create a stronger, smoother yarn that is significantly more durable than cheaper alternatives. The addition of 5% elastane provides the 'stretch' element, allowing the fabric to recover its shape after movement, preventing the sagging often seen in 100% cotton garments during long shifts.
The medium-weight fabric offers enough substance to hang well and provide opacity, while remaining light enough for year-round layering. The garment also carries Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Amfori BSCI accreditations, confirming that it meets rigorous ethical and environmental standards during production.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, though the choice depends on your specific branding goals. For a truly professional and long-lasting corporate identity, we recommend embroidery. The stable piqué weave and high-quality cotton fibres support intricate needlework, ensuring logos remain sharp and do not cause the fabric to pucker.
For larger, more graphic applications, printing is equally effective. The enzyme-washed finish provides a smooth surface that allows for clean ink adhesion and vibrant colour reproduction. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the finished product meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for client-facing roles where first impressions are paramount. It is a preferred choice for sales professionals, management teams, and front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector. Its stretch properties also make it a practical option for those who move between an office environment and site visits, where traditional rigid shirts might prove restrictive.

Practical Advice
As this shirt features a tailored fit, it is designed to sit closer to the frame. If you prefer a more traditional, generous cut, you may wish to consider sizing up. The elastane content does provide flexibility, so most users find their standard size offers a sharp, modern look without feeling restrictive. We recommend referring to the specific chest measurements provided in our size guide for the best results.
Caring for your product
To maintain the shirt's tailored silhouette and the integrity of the organic cotton, it should be washed with similar colours. This prevents dye transfer and ensures the fabric remains bright and professional.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Harsh chemical agents will degrade the organic cotton fibres and damage the elastane, leading to a loss of stretch and premature wear.
This shirt is not suitable for tumble drying. We advise air drying to prevent shrinkage and to preserve the smooth, enzyme-washed finish of the fabric. If the shirt has been customised with a print, do not iron directly over the design, as the heat will damage the application and compromise the aesthetic of your branding.
