Cotton high-visibility short-sleeve polo shirt class 2
Velilla 305522 high-visibility polo shirt: RS segmented tape range

🧺 Care
Machine wash; because of the cotton it shrinks slightly more than a polyester polo.
Heat-sealed tape cannot be ironed directly: it peels off. Always iron inside out and avoid the tape.
No chlorine bleach.
Use little fabric softener, so as not to coat the retroreflective material.
Withdraw the garment if the tape starts to lift or the fluorescent colour fades.
💡 Tip: don't confuse the two acronyms in this family. RS is the segmented reflective tape range (a finish); GRS is the Global Recycled Standard certificate for recycled fabric. This 305522 is RS but not GRS: the tape is segmented and the fabric is virgin cotton-polyester. If you are looking for recycled fabric, the reference is 305532.
