Product Overview
The Wombat Men’s Shirt (WB500) represents a contemporary shift in professional summer attire, moving away from rigid structures towards a more breathable, relaxed aesthetic. Engineered for environments that demand both comfort and a distinct visual identity, this shirt features a classic Cuban collar and a button-front closure. Whether utilised for high-end hospitality roles or as part of a coordinated travel uniform, its lightweight construction ensures the wearer remains composed in warmer climates.
Key Features
- Relaxed Fit: The generous cut allows for increased airflow and ease of movement, which is essential for active staff during long shifts.
- Cuban Collar: This open, flat collar provides a modern, stylish alternative to traditional button-downs, keeping the neck area cool.
- Short Sleeves: Designed for maximum ventilation, making it the ideal choice for outdoor events or summer branding.
- Tagless Design: By removing the interior neck label, we have eliminated a common source of skin irritation, ensuring day-long comfort for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of this garment is rooted in its specific fabric composition of 65% cotton and 35% viscose. The cotton provides a soft, natural hand-feel and structural integrity, while the viscose adds a slight sheen and superior drape. This combination results in a lightweight fabric that is exceptionally breathable and moisture-absorbent, making it highly effective for staff working in direct sunlight or busy indoor environments.
Despite its lightweight nature, the fabric is durable enough to withstand the rigours of frequent wear. The relaxed silhouette ensures it does not cling to the body, maintaining a professional appearance even after hours of activity. The button-front closure is secure and reliable, ensuring the shirt stays in place throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a uniform is only as good as the branding it carries. This Wombat shirt is highly versatile for customisation. We recommend embroidery for chest-placed logos or staff names; it provides a raised, high-quality finish that looks exceptionally professional and withstands the life of the garment. For larger, more complex graphics or promotional messaging, our high-definition print processes are an excellent alternative.
All customisation is carried out at our dedicated facility in Telford. Having been in operation since 1976, our team has the technical expertise to ensure that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the fabric's integrity while making your business stand out.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically tailored for the hospitality and travel industries. It is an excellent choice for front-of-house staff at summer venues, resort teams, or event organisers. Beyond hospitality, it serves as a sophisticated option for corporate retreats or as branded merchandise for travel-related businesses.

Practical Advice
The WB500 is designed with a relaxed fit, so we recommend selecting your usual size for a breezy, comfortable feel. If you prefer a more tailored look, you might consider sizing down, though keep in mind the chest measurements provided. For a coordinated team appearance, this shirt layers perfectly over a simple tank top or can be paired with matching shorts to create a cohesive brand image.
Caring for your product
To maintain the visual appeal and structural longevity of your shirt, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without causing excessive wear to the cotton and viscose fibers or your custom branding.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will aggressively break down the fabric's composition and cause significant fading of the dyes. When it comes to drying, do not tumble dry; the heat and mechanical action can lead to shrinkage and may damage any printed elements. Instead, air dry the garment to keep it in its original shape.
For a crisp finish, use a medium iron. This will remove any creases typical of viscose blends without the risk of scorching the fabric. Finally, we advise against dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved are unnecessary for this fabric type and could potentially degrade your embroidered or printed logos.
