What are our thoughts on Polycotton Garments?

Chris Ackroyd • 22 Apr 2025, 5:12 p.m.

Polycotton garments (a blend of polyester and cotton) are actually a solid all-rounder, making them a very popular choice for workwear. They balance the best of both fabrics, which makes them super practical. Here's a quick breakdown:

Benefits of Polycotton Garments

🔹 Best of Both Worlds

  • Cotton adds softness and breathability.
  • Polyester brings strength and durability.
    Together? You get comfort and performance.

🔹 Increased Durability

More hardwearing than 100% cotton. Polycotton resists tears, stretching, and shrinking-great for daily uniforms.

🔹 Better Shape Retention

Polycotton keeps its shape even after frequent washes. No bagginess or sagging.

🔹 Easier Care

Wrinkle-resistant, fast-drying, and lower maintenance. Looks good with minimal ironing.

🔹 Cost-Effective

Generally more affordable than 100% cotton, while offering more comfort than 100% polyester. Win-win.

🔹 Good for Branding

Takes embroidery well and certain print types (like transfer or DTF) depending on the blend ratio.

🛠️ Ideal For:

  • Construction
  • Trades
  • Maintenance teams
  • Hospitality staff
  • Retail uniforms
  • Schools
