Design & Performance
The performance of this t-shirt lies in its technical construction. The waffle piqué weave is specifically chosen for its moisture-wicking properties and superior airflow, which helps regulate body temperature during physical labour. The lightweight nature of the recycled polyester makes it an ideal choice for high-activity roles. Durability is further enhanced by twin-needle stitching, which provides structural integrity at the seams, ensuring the garment withstands the daily stresses of a busy workplace.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is perfectly suited for custom branding, accommodating both print and embroidery. Embroidery is particularly effective on the waffle piqué fabric, providing a high-quality, professional finish for company logos on the chest. For larger, more vibrant graphics or departmental labelling, our heat-applied print process offers excellent clarity and durability. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting workwear branding since 1976, ensuring your corporate identity is represented with precision.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is the ideal choice for site supervisors, warehouse managers, and delivery drivers who need to remain visible while maintaining a smart, client-ready appearance. Its compliance with rail standards makes it a versatile option for infrastructure projects, while the breathable fabric is perfect for any high-temperature environment where safety is paramount.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt is designed with a relaxed fit to allow for natural movement and ventilation. When selecting your size, please note that the range extends from Small up to 6XL to accommodate all team members. If you are layering this garment over a base layer, we recommend sticking to your usual size; however, the split hem design provides extra room around the hips for those who require a greater range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and structural integrity of the fabric, this garment should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a normal cycle. Exceeding this temperature may damage the heat-sealed reflective trims and lead to a loss of visibility over time.
Bleaching agents must be avoided as they will degrade the fluorescent dyes and compromise the safety certification of the t-shirt. Do not iron this garment, as the direct heat can melt the synthetic polyester fibres and the reflective tapes, rendering the safety features ineffective.
The product should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned; air drying is the best method to preserve the garment's shape and the quality of any custom embroidery or print. Please be aware that this item has a maximum certified life of 25 wash cycles to ensure it continues to meet safety standards.
