🧺 Care
65/35 blend: suitable for domestic machine washing on a normal cycle.
Hang it up straight after the spin cycle. The majority polyester content means it comes out almost smooth and barely needs ironing.
Iron at medium temperature. No bleach on sky blue or black.
Wash the white separately from colours for the first few washes.
💡 Tip: at 114 g/m² the fabric is thin and, in white, somewhat translucent under dining-room lights. If the uniform is white, wear a skin-coloured undershirt: a white one shows through and a black one is visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a fitted shirt?
No. The 405009 is the men's cut, straight and with a back yoke. The fitted women's version with darts is reference 405011.
Is it see-through in white?
At 114 g/m² the fabric is thin. In white, a skin-coloured undershirt is advisable, not white or black.
Can it be ironed?
Yes, at medium temperature. If it is hung up straight after the spin cycle, the 65% polyester means it comes out almost smooth.
Is it suitable for industrial laundry?
The manufacturer does not declare industrial washing certification for this reference. For demanding external laundry services, a heavier weight is advisable.
Which size should I choose?
Sizes range from S to 3XL. If you are between two sizes and wear an apron or waistcoat over it, choose the larger one.

The men's short-sleeved version is another reference in the same family; this 405009 is long-sleeved only.
