Product Overview
The Tee Jays Luxury stripe stretch polo represents a refined take on a workspace staple, merging the comfort of high-quality organic materials with a contemporary tailored silhouette. Crafted from a blend of long-fibre ringspun cotton and elastane, this garment offers a sophisticated mini piqué texture that feels substantial yet flexible. The inclusion of striped detailing on the collar and cuffs provides a subtle aesthetic departure from traditional plain polo shirts, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking a modern, professional appearance without compromising on comfort.
Key Features
- Tailored fit: Ensures a modern, sleek appearance that complements the wearer's frame while remaining professional for corporate environments.
- Double pre-shrunk fabric: This process ensures the garment maintains its original shape and size after washing, providing long-term reliability for your team's uniform.
- Silicone treatment and enzyme wash: These finishing processes result in an exceptionally smooth hand-feel and a clean, lint-free surface that looks superior to standard cotton.
- Herringbone neck tape: Reinforces the collar area, preventing stretching and ensuring the neckline maintains its structure over time.
- Clean finished placket: Provides a crisp, high-end finish that is suitable for premium corporate environments and client-facing roles.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo shirt is rooted in its material composition. By using 95% ringspun combed organic cotton, the fabric achieves a level of softness and durability that standard cotton cannot match. The addition of 5% elastane provides necessary stretch, allowing the garment to move with the wearer—a critical feature for active professionals who need to maintain a sharp appearance throughout a busy day. The mini piqué weave is specifically chosen for its tight, refined texture, which offers a more polished look than the coarser knits often found in budget alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, and choosing the right method depends on your brand's specific requirements. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names; it provides a raised, high-quality finish that aligns perfectly with the luxury designation of this garment. The tight knit of the mini piqué fabric ensures that even intricate needlework remains crisp and secure.

Practical Advice
Due to the tailored fit and the inclusion of elastane, this polo shirt provides a closer fit to the body than a traditional work polo. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, you may wish to consider moving up one size. It functions exceptionally well as a standalone piece in warmer months or as a breathable base layer under a smart jumper or softshell jacket when the temperature drops.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of this premium polo shirt requires adherence to a few specific care steps. We recommend a machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without causing unnecessary stress to the organic cotton fibres or the elastane content.
To preserve the life of the garment, avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can break down the natural cotton fibres and cause the colours to fade prematurely. Similarly, do not tumble dry this item; air drying is essential to prevent heat-induced shrinkage and to protect the elasticity of the fabric.
If you have chosen a printed design, take care not to iron directly over the customisation. High heat from an iron can damage the print bond, leading to peeling or cracking. By following these guidelines, you ensure your professional uniform remains in peak condition for as long as possible.
