Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Bistro in Harrogate needed to smarten up its team's appearance. Their old uniforms were a mix-and-match affair, looking tired and unprofessional after months of wear.
"We wanted a simple, smart look for the whole team that didn't cost a fortune and was easy to care for. These Portwest polos were the perfect solution, and they've held up incredibly well."
David Chen – Owner
Switching to the Portwest polos immediately unified the team's appearance, improving customer perceptions of professionalism and making staff feel part of a cohesive unit.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Personalisation
- Always give the polo a wash before its first wear to ensure maximum comfort and hygiene.
- The smooth polycotton fabric provides an excellent surface for embroidery or screen printing your logo.
- Check sizing with a few team members before ordering a full batch to guarantee a comfortable fit for everyone.
Keeping It Going
- This garment is suitable for commercial laundering; always follow the care label for exact temperature guidance.
- Wash whites separately from colours to maintain the crisp, clean finish.
- Try to avoid using too much fabric softener, as it can reduce the fabric's natural breathability over time.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to best preserve the polo's shape and size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is polycotton?
A: It’s a fabric blend of polyester and cotton. It cleverly combines the softness and breathability of cotton with the strength, durability, and crease-resistance of polyester.
Q: Is this polo shirt suitable for a hot kitchen environment?
A: Yes, absolutely. Its breathable fabric and durable, easy-to-clean nature make this **chef polo shirt white large** a great choice for kitchen staff.
Q: Can I get my company logo put on this?
A: Definitely. The plain white design and smooth polycotton material provide an ideal base for both embroidery and screen printing.
Q: Is the 'Large' size a standard UK fit?
A: Yes, this A734-L unisex polo shirt follows standard UK unisex sizing for a comfortable and predictable fit.
Q: How well does the white colour hold up after repeated washing?
A: Very well. By washing with other white items and following the care instructions on the label, the crisp white colour is maintained beautifully.

A: It means the collar and neckline are cut for a closer, neater fit than a standard polo. This gives it a smarter, more formal appearance.

A: Not at all. It's a lightweight garment, weighing only around 0.3kg, designed specifically for comfort during an active working day.

Explore more from PortwestWhy a Polycotton Blend is a Smart Choice for Workwear
Ever wondered what makes a polo shirt suitable for work rather than just the weekend? It often comes down to the fabric. Think of it like this: cotton on its own is soft and breathable, but it can wrinkle easily and take ages to dry. Polyester, on the other hand, is super durable and holds its shape, but isn't always as comfortable on the skin. A polycotton blend, as used in this top, gives you the best of both worlds. You get the comfort and breathability of cotton, combined with the strength, crease-resistance, and quick-drying properties of polyester. It's the perfect partnership for a uniform that needs to look great and stand up to a commercial laundry, day in and day out.
