Product Overview
The Tee Jays Womens Stretch Tee is a sophisticated interpretation of a wardrobe staple, specifically engineered for the professional environment. Unlike standard cotton shirts, this garment utilizes a high-quality blend of 90% ringspun combed cotton and 10% elastane to provide a slim-fitting silhouette that moves with the wearer. The result is a refined appearance that remains sharp throughout the working day, making it an ideal choice for businesses that value both style and practicality.
Key Features
- Two-Layer Collar with Elastane: The inclusion of elastane in the collar ensures it retains its shape and elasticity, preventing the sagging often seen in lesser garments after repeated wear.
- Double Pre-Shrunk Fabric: By pre-shrinking the fabric twice, Tee Jays ensures that the fit you purchase is the fit that remains, even after multiple laundering cycles.
- Double Stitched Seams: Reinforced stitching at critical points increases the garment's structural integrity, allowing it to withstand the rigours of daily professional use.
- Long-Fibre Cotton: The use of long-fibre cotton results in a smoother, stronger yarn, which reduces pilling and enhances the overall longevity of the T-shirt.
- Silicone Treatment: This finish provides an exceptionally soft hand-feel and a clean, premium surface that is perfect for branding.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight T-shirt is designed with performance in mind. The "full-feeder" elastane ensures that the stretch is consistent throughout the fabric, providing excellent recovery so the garment doesn't become baggy over time. The enzyme wash process further refines the material, removing stray fibres to create a surface that is not only comfortable against the skin but also provides a superior canvas for customisation.
The slim-fit design is tailored specifically for the female form, offering a professional look that bridges the gap between casual workwear and formal corporate attire. With accreditations like Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Better Cotton, you can be certain that this garment meets high ethical and environmental standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Tee Jays Stretch Tee is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, though the choice depends on your specific branding requirements. Embroidery is particularly effective for small, detailed logos on the chest or sleeve, providing a textured, high-end finish that complements the premium feel of the cotton blend.
For larger, more vibrant designs, our advanced printing techniques are ideal. The smooth, silicone-treated surface ensures that prints adhere cleanly and remain vivid. Our experienced team in Telford, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, will ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision to maintain the professional integrity of your uniform.
Use Cases

It also serves as an excellent base layer for staff working in climate-controlled environments who need a comfortable yet smart uniform solution.

Practical Advice
The Tee Jays Stretch Tee is a slim-fitting garment designed to sit close to the body. If you or your team prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend selecting one size larger than your usual measurement. The elastane content provides generous horizontal stretch, but the vertical fit remains true to size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical properties and aesthetic appeal of your T-shirt, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without compromising the integrity of the cotton-elastane blend. Always wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer, which can dull the vibrancy of the fabric.
It is essential to avoid bleaching this garment, as harsh chemicals will break down the elastane fibres and cause the garment to lose its shape. Similarly, do not tumble dry; the high heat can damage the elastic components and lead to unwanted shrinkage. Allow the garment to air dry naturally to preserve its fit.
When ironing, avoid direct heat on any printed areas. High temperatures can melt the print medium, causing permanent damage to both the design and your iron. Ironing on the reverse side is the safest method to keep your uniform looking crisp.
