Men's short-sleeve piqué polo shirt: the uniform that needs no ironing
100% polyester piqué, 160 g/m². Compared with a cotton polo, this one comes out of the washing machine ready to wear: it doesn't shrink, doesn't crease and dries in hours. For a team that washes its uniform every night, that makes all the difference.
✅ Features
100% polyester: dimensional stability, meaning the size you buy is the size you still have after fifty washes.
Piqué fabric: the textured knit of the classic polo, which breathes better than a plain knit.
Ribbed collar and sleeve cuffs: keep their shape and don't stretch out.
Buttoned front closure with placket.
Side vents: the polo doesn't ride up when you bend down.
Reinforcement tape covering the collar seam: prevents chafing on the back of the neck and supports the shoulder.
👷 Suitable for
Dining room, terrace and bar in a casual style
Institutional catering, canteens and catering
Retail, warehouse and delivery
Events, trade fairs and teams with embroidered logos

🧺 Care
Machine washable and quick-drying. Practically never needs ironing.
No bleach: on polyester it turns white yellow instead of whitening it.
Iron on a low setting and only if needed: polyester can't tolerate a very hot iron.
💡 Tip: 100% polyester is the best base for embroidering your venue's logo: it doesn't shrink, so the embroidery doesn't pucker after the first washes, which is what usually ruins customised cotton polos.
