Product Overview
The Tee Jays Pima cotton long-sleeve polo is a superior garment designed for those who require a more refined professional appearance without sacrificing the practicality of a polo shirt. Crafted from exceptionally high-quality Pima cotton, this piece bridges the gap between casual workwear and formal corporate attire. It is particularly suited for client-facing roles where first impressions are paramount and comfort is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Long-fibre Pima cotton: The use of long-fibre cotton results in a smoother, stronger fabric that resists pilling and maintains its shape over time, ensuring your team looks professional for longer.
- Tailored fit: A modern, sleek silhouette ensures a sharp appearance that complements the wearer’s build without being restrictive during the workday.
- Reinforced shoulders: Strategically strengthened seams prevent the garment from stretching out of shape, even after repeated wear and industrial laundering cycles.
- Double preshrunk and enzyme-washed: These processes ensure the garment maintains its size after washing and offers a remarkably soft handle from the very first wear.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this polo is the 100% ringspun combed Pima cotton. This is a premium material known for its durability and silk-like texture. Because the fabric is double preshrunk, you can be confident that the fit you choose today will be the fit you have in six months' time. The enzyme wash adds a further layer of refinement, removing stray fibres to create a clean, crisp surface that feels comfortable against the skin throughout a long shift.
The design includes a self-fabric collar and a stylish three-button placket, which provides a more structured and sophisticated look than standard rib collars. Soft rib cuffs at the end of the long sleeves ensure a secure fit at the wrist, providing a neat finish and preventing the sleeves from interfering with manual tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, though the premium nature of the fabric particularly lends itself to high-quality embroidery. A well-placed embroidered logo on the chest or sleeve provides a textured, professional finish that reflects the quality of your brand and withstands the rigours of daily wear.
For larger promotional requirements or more modern branding designs, our Telford-based team can also apply high-definition prints. Whether you opt for the classic, traditional look of embroidery or the bold clarity of print, all customisation is handled in-house by our experts, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve polo is ideal for sales teams, hospitality management, or any professional environment where a standard t-shirt is too informal but a full suit is unnecessary. It provides an extra layer of warmth during the cooler months while remaining breathable for indoor office use. It is a staple for businesses looking to elevate their corporate identity.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please consider that this item features a tailored fit; if you prefer a more relaxed or traditional feel, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The long sleeves make this an ideal middle layer under a gilet or jacket during transitional seasons, providing versatility across different working environments.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of this premium cotton garment and maintain the integrity of your custom branding, proper care is essential. We recommend washing with similar colours to prevent any dye transfer that could dull the fabric's appearance over time.
You should avoid tumble drying this polo. High heat can damage the natural Pima cotton fibres and cause unnecessary shrinkage, even in preshrunk garments. Air drying is the best method to help maintain the garment's shape and soft texture.
Bleaching agents must be avoided, as they will break down the cotton fibres and destroy the vibrancy of the dye and any embroidered logos. Finally, if your garment features a print, do not iron directly over the design; the heat will likely cause the print to melt or peel, compromising the professional look of your uniform.
