Product Overview
The Tee Jays Pima Cotton Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a sophisticated choice for professionals seeking a refined aesthetic combined with the exceptional comfort of high-grade materials. Constructed from 100% ringspun combed Pima cotton, this polo offers a superior hand-feel and a smoother finish than standard cotton alternatives. The long-sleeve design and tailored slim fit provide a polished silhouette that bridges the gap between casual workwear and formal attire, making it an essential piece for those in client-facing or management roles.
Key Features
- Enzyme washing treatment gives the fabric a remarkably soft touch and helps prevent pilling, ensuring the garment remains smooth even after frequent use.
- The double pre-shrunk process provides excellent dimensional stability, meaning your polo will maintain its tailored shape and size after repeated laundering.
- Reinforced shoulders are specifically designed to prevent the seams from stretching, ensuring the garment retains its professional profile throughout the working day.
- A three-button placket and self-fabric collar deliver a clean, cohesive look that aligns with corporate dress standards.
- Twin needle stitching on the sleeves and hem provides extra durability at high-stress points, preventing the seams from fraying or failing under tension.
Design & Performance
Performance in a professional environment relies on both appearance and durability. The Tee Jays T1442 is engineered using extra-long staple Pima cotton fibers, which are ringspun and combed to remove impurities and shorter strands. This results in a fabric of standard weight that is significantly stronger and more lustrous than conventional cotton. The tailored slim fit is designed to follow the natural contours of the body, providing a modern, professional appearance without restricting movement. Every detail, from the reinforced shoulders to the precise twin-needle finish, is intended to ensure this garment withstands the rigours of daily professional wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This premium Pima cotton fabric serves as an ideal base for custom branding. To match the high-quality nature of this polo, we recommend embroidery for logos and staff names. This technique provides a textured, professional finish that is exceptionally durable. For larger, more complex graphic designs, our high-quality printing services offer a vibrant and sharp alternative. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility. Having been established in 1976, we possess the technical knowledge required to ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This long-sleeve polo is particularly well-suited for the hospitality sector, including front-of-house and concierge staff who require a smart, unified appearance. It is also an excellent choice for corporate office environments, trade show uniforms, or any professional setting where a standard short-sleeve polo might feel too casual.

Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your Pima cotton polo, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the garment label. Proper care ensures the high-quality fibers remain intact and the customisation stays looking its best for the duration of the garment's life.
Adhering to the recommended washing temperature is vital; failure to do so may degrade the enzyme-washed finish and lead to the fabric losing its signature softness. Maintaining correct laundry practices also protects the integrity of the double pre-shrunk treatment, preventing any unwanted distortion of the tailored fit.
Avoiding the use of harsh chemicals or bleach is necessary to preserve the strength of the combed cotton fibers and the vibrancy of the fabric colour. Furthermore, following the correct drying and ironing procedures will ensure the reinforced shoulders and self-fabric collar remain crisp and professional in appearance.
