- Pros: The fabric and reinforced seams are genuinely tough and stand up to daily wear.
- Cons: Its classic cut might feel a bit generous for those preferring a modern slim fit.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tearoom in York needed to upgrade their team's uniform. Their previous polos were fading quickly and looked tired, which didn't reflect the high standard of their service.
"We were tired of uniforms that lost their shape and colour after a few months. These Portwest polos still look crisp and professional, which makes a huge difference to how our customers see us. They're just brilliant."
Robert Green – Manager
The team now has a consistent, smart appearance, and the business has reduced its annual uniform replacement costs by over 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Wear & Care
- We recommend washing the polo once before its first use to soften the fabric.
- If you're planning on adding embroidery, it's best to do this before its first wash.
- Check the fit on team members to ensure everyone has full, comfortable movement.
Keeping It Looking Smart
- Always wash with similar dark colours to maintain that deep navy blue.
- This polo is tough enough for commercial laundering, but a standard 40°C wash is fine for most uses.
- Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry to best preserve the polo's shape and size.
- If you need to iron it, use a medium setting and be sure to iron around any logos.

Explore more from PortwestMore Than Just Fabric: The Polycotton Advantage
Ever wondered why so many work uniforms use a polycotton blend? It's all about getting the best of both worlds. Think of it like a perfect partnership: the cotton part brings the softness and breathability, keeping your team comfortable during a long, busy shift. Meanwhile, the polyester partner brings the muscle – it adds strength, durability, and resistance to shrinking and creasing. This means the shirt not only feels good to wear but also stands up to repeated, heavy-duty washing without looking tired and worn out. It's the secret to workwear that lasts.
