Choosing The Right T Shirts

When selecting work t-shirts, consider these essential factors:

Safety Standards: Determine if you require hi-vis clothing meeting EN ISO 20471 standards, flame-resistant garments to EN ISO 11612, or anti-static/ESD protection for electrical work. Always check that safety features match your workplace requirements and risk assessments.

Fabric and Comfort: Cotton offers breathability and comfort for general use, whilst polyester blends provide enhanced durability and moisture-wicking properties. Look for mesh panels or ventilation inserts if working in hot environments or undertaking physically demanding tasks.

Sleeve Length: Short sleeve t-shirts suit warmer conditions and allow greater freedom of movement, whilst long sleeve options provide additional protection from the elements, UV rays, and minor abrasions in more demanding work environments.

Fit and Sizing: Consider whether you need a slim athletic fit or a more relaxed traditional cut. Many professional ranges offer extended sizing and specific cuts designed to accommodate movement whilst maintaining a professional appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do work t-shirts meet UK safety standards for construction sites?
Yes, our hi-vis t-shirts are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or Class 3 standards as required by UK construction sites. Always verify your employer's specific PPE requirements, as some sites mandate long sleeves or specific visibility classes depending on the work environment and risk assessment.

How should I care for professional work t-shirts?
Most work t-shirts can be machine washed at 40°C, though hi-vis and flame-resistant garments require specific care to maintain their protective properties. Always follow the manufacturer's washing instructions, avoid fabric softeners on technical fabrics, and inspect hi-vis tape regularly for signs of wear that might reduce visibility.

Are anti-static t-shirts necessary for electrical work?
Anti-static and ESD t-shirts are essential when working with sensitive electronic components or in environments where static discharge could cause damage or create hazards. They're particularly important for electronics assembly, telecoms installation, and working in potentially explosive atmospheres where static spark could pose a risk.
