Product Overview
The Tee Jays Polo Knit (6002) represents a sophisticated evolution of the classic polo shirt, merging the refined aesthetic of a sweater with the familiar structure of a collared shirt. Crafted from a signature blend of premium Italian merino wool and durable polyacrylic fibres, this garment is designed for the modern professional who requires versatility without compromising on elegance. Whether it serves as a standalone piece or a layering element under a tailored jacket, its presence provides an immediate lift to any corporate ensemble.
Key Features
- Tailored Fit: The design follows the natural contours of the body, providing a sharp, professional silhouette that avoids the bulkiness often associated with traditional knitwear.
- Fully Fashioned Construction: By knitting the garment to shape rather than cutting panels from a roll of fabric, the structural integrity is significantly enhanced, ensuring the polo retains its form wash after wash.
- Flat Knit Collar: This feature maintains its shape over time, preventing the collar from curling and ensuring you remain presentable throughout the working day.
- Knitted Rib at Hem and Cuffs: These elements provide a secure yet flexible fit at the waist and wrists, preventing sleeves from sagging and helping to maintain the garment's crisp lines.
Design & Performance
The performance of this polo knit is rooted in its expert material composition. By combining natural merino wool with polyacrylic, Tee Jays has created a fabric that offers the thermal regulation and softness of wool alongside the resilience and ease of care provided by synthetic fibres. This fine-gauge knit is substantial enough to offer warmth while remaining light enough to layer comfortably.
The Italian-sourced yarn is selected for its superior handle and durability. Unlike standard cotton shirts, this wool-blend knit provides a more formal appearance and a drape that suggests a higher level of quality, making it an ideal choice for customer-facing roles or office environments where a standard t-shirt is insufficient.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo knit is an excellent candidate for customisation, particularly for businesses seeking a premium brand image. We highly recommend embroidery for this garment; our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or individual names with precision, creating a sophisticated, textured finish that complements the Italian yarn perfectly.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant branding, modern print techniques can also be applied. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined the art of applying bespoke designs to technical fabrics, ensuring your company identity is represented with clarity and longevity. Our in-house experts manage every stage of the process to ensure the highest standards are met.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for professionals in management, sales, or corporate hospitality. It bridges the gap between a formal shirt and a casual polo, making it suitable for client meetings, trade events, or everyday office wear. It pairs exceptionally well with chinos for a smart-business look or under a suit for a modern twist on formal attire.

Practical Advice
The tailored fit of this polo means it sits closer to the body. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to layer it over a collared shirt, you may wish to consider sizing up. The broad size range from Small to 3XL ensures a fit for every member of your team. We recommend consulting our sizing guide to ensure the best possible match for your measurements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the luxurious feel and technical performance of the Italian merino blend, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. You should use a dedicated wool programme at 30°C. Standard high-temperature cycles can cause natural wool fibres to shrink and lose their softness, potentially altering the fit of your garment.
We advise using a specialist wool detergent to protect the delicate fibres. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can break down the polyacrylic structure and cause the colours to fade prematurely. Always wash with similar colours to prevent any dye transfer that might dull the appearance of the knit.
After washing, the garment should be dried flat. Hanging wet knitwear can cause it to stretch out of shape due to the weight of the water. Do not tumble dry this item, as the intense heat will damage the wool and lead to significant shrinkage. Do not soak the garment, as prolonged exposure to water can weaken the yarn fibres. Proper care ensures your investment in quality workwear remains professional for years to come.
