Product Overview
The Tee Jays Urban tee is a refined take on the classic wardrobe staple, designed specifically for those who value a clean, contemporary aesthetic without compromising on ethical standards. This regular-fit garment is crafted from ringspun combed organic cotton, providing a smooth surface that feels exceptionally soft against the skin. Its focus on an urban lifestyle means it transitions seamlessly from a professional setting to a casual environment, making it a versatile choice for modern workforces who need to look sharp while remaining comfortable.
Key Features
- The two-layer collar with elastane ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity over time, preventing the sagging often associated with inferior lightweight t-shirts.
- Shoulder-to-shoulder neck tape in self-fabric provides extra reinforcement at high-stress points, ensuring the garment maintains its structure through repeated wear and movement.
- Set-in sleeves offer a classic, tailored silhouette that provides a professional appearance and a comfortable range of movement for daily tasks.
- A tagless design removes the irritation of physical labels, significantly enhancing wearer comfort throughout long shifts.
- Certified organic cotton construction reflects a commitment to sustainable sourcing and high-quality natural fibres, meeting Amfori BSCI and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 accreditations.
Design & Performance
This lightweight t-shirt is engineered for both durability and tactile comfort. The use of ringspun combed organic cotton creates a finer, stronger yarn, resulting in a fabric that is significantly smoother and more durable than standard cotton alternatives. The garment has undergone a double pre-shrinking process, which drastically reduces the risk of the t-shirt changing shape or size after the first wash—a common frustration for those managing staff uniforms.
Furthermore, the fabric has been enzyme-washed and treated with silicone. This combination provides a premium, soft-touch finish and enhances the drape of the garment, ensuring it sits well on the body. It is not merely a t-shirt; it is a well-engineered piece of apparel designed to look as good after multiple wash cycles as it does on the first day of issue.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, tight knit of the ringspun combed cotton makes the Urban tee an ideal canvas for customisation. For companies looking to achieve a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is recommended for chest logos and staff names. This provides a textured, professional appearance that stands the test of time and repeated laundering.
Alternatively, the fine surface of the fabric is perfectly suited for high-quality printing. Printing is an excellent choice for larger, more intricate designs or bold branding that requires high levels of detail and vibrant colour reproduction. Our expert in-house team in Telford, with heritage dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for modern office environments, creative agencies, or retail teams who require a uniform that is both comfortable and stylish. Its clean design and sustainable credentials also make it an excellent choice for promotional events where a premium feel is necessary to represent a brand effectively.

Practical Advice
The Urban tee is a regular fit and generally runs true to size. For those who prefer a more relaxed or modern oversized look, we recommend considering one size up. As a lightweight garment, it serves as an excellent breathable base layer under sweatshirts or jackets during cooler months, or as a standalone piece in warmer conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the organic cotton and the longevity of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively cleans the garment while preserving the fabric's soft finish and preventing premature wear.
Always wash the garment with similar colours. This prevents dye transfer from darker items, which can dull the appearance of the organic fibres. It is important to avoid the use of bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the natural cotton strands and cause the fabric to weaken and discolour.
This t-shirt should not be tumble dried. Allowing the garment to air dry naturally prevents excessive shrinkage and maintains the structural integrity of the collar and sleeves. If your garment has been customised with a print, do not iron directly over the design; the high heat can damage the print film and cause it to peel or crack.
