A short sleeve polo is a summer item; a long sleeve polo extends the same design language into spring and autumn and gives corporate and hospitality buyers a year-round garment. Construction is the same high standard as our short sleeve block — fused collar, taped placket — with ribbed cuffs and a longer body for layering.

Brands often run the short sleeve and long sleeve polo as a pair, which lets the same customer buy twice a year off one design direction. We keep both on one pattern file so sizing, labels and collar construction stay consistent across the range.
FAQ
Q: Can the long sleeve and short sleeve polo share the same measurements?
A: Yes. We run both from one graded block, with the long sleeve body extended proportionally so the shirt layers properly.
Q: Is a long sleeve polo good for corporate uniforms?
A: Yes. It gives staff a year-round garment that fits the same uniform standard as the short sleeve version.
Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
A: 50 pcs per colour, 7-day sampling, 15-25 days bulk production after sample approval.
Q: Can you make an open hem instead of a ribbed cuff? A: Yes. Ribbed elastane cuffs are standard, and an open hem with a twin-needle finish is available if you prefer a cleaner line.
Q: Is the body longer than the short sleeve version?
A: Yes. The body is extended in proportion to the sleeve so the shirt layers properly and does not ride above the waistline.
Q: Which weight do you recommend for autumn?
A: 220-260gsm pique or jersey. It layers under a jacket without adding bulk, which is why autumn ranges usually sit in that range.
Q: Can you embroider on the sleeve?
A: Yes. Sleeve, chest and back-neck placements are all available; sleeve work is confirmed on the sample because the panel is narrower.
