Product Overview
The Tee Jays Stretch T-Shirt is a refined choice for professionals who require a garment that combines a modern, tailored silhouette with the flexibility needed for an active workday. Crafted from a blend of ringspun combed cotton and elastane, this T-shirt offers a superior handle and a fit that moves with the wearer. The fabric has undergone a specialised enzyme and silicone wash, which results in a remarkably smooth surface and a soft feel from the very first wear. This process not only enhances comfort but also provides an excellent surface for high-quality customisation.
Key Features
- Enzyme and silicone wash: These finishes provide a smooth, premium texture and ensure the fabric feels comfortable against the skin throughout the day.
- Double pre-shrunk fabric: By shrinking the material twice during production, Tee Jays ensures that the garment maintains its size and slim-fit shape even after multiple launderings.
- Slim fit construction: The tailored cut provides a contemporary, professional appearance that avoids the bulkiness of traditional T-shirts.
- Narrow ribbed collar with elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the collar helps it retain its shape and prevents sagging, ensuring you look sharp over long periods of use.
- Taped neck and shoulders: This internal reinforcement helps the garment maintain its structure and prevents the seams from stretching out under tension.
- Twin needle stitching: Used on the hems and sleeves, this robust stitching method increases the garment's longevity and resistance to wear and tear.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt lies in its material composition. Using 90% ringspun combed cotton ensures that only the longest and strongest fibres are used, resulting in a durable fabric that resists pilling. The 10% elastane content is integrated into the weave to provide essential stretch and recovery, allowing the T-shirt to retain its slim profile without becoming baggy. The inclusion of side seams is a mark of quality construction, ensuring the T-shirt does not twist or lose its alignment after washing, which is a common issue with lower-quality circular-knit garments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This standard weight T-shirt is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery. For a formal corporate look, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, as the dense weave of the combed cotton supports the stitching beautifully. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, the enzyme-washed surface provides an exceptionally smooth foundation for printing, ensuring sharp lines and consistent colour application. Our expert team in Telford, with experience dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure your professional appearance is maintained to the highest standard.
Use Cases
Given its sleek design and high-quality finish, this T-shirt is perfectly suited for customer-facing environments such as retail, modern hospitality, or corporate events. It serves as an excellent high-end base layer for technical teams or as a stand-alone piece for outdoor leisure and promotional activities where a standard-fit T-shirt would look too casual.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment, it is designed to sit closer to the body. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed feel, you may wish to consider sizing up. Because of the elastane content, it is an excellent choice for layering under sweatshirts or jackets, as it will not bunch up or create bulk under your outer layers.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the elastane and the smooth silicone finish, it is important to follow the laundering instructions on the internal label carefully. Failure to do so can lead to a breakdown of the stretch fibres, which would cause the garment to lose its tailored shape.
We recommend avoiding the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners. These substances can strip the silicone wash from the cotton and weaken the ringspun fibres, leading to premature wear and a loss of colour vibrancy in your custom branding.
When drying, it is best to avoid high heat settings. Excessive heat can damage the elastane, leading to a loss of elasticity and potentially causing the T-shirt to over-stretch. Air drying or using a low-temperature cycle will ensure the garment remains a core part of your professional wardrobe for much longer.
