⭐ Chris Recommends
Personally tested and trusted for over 10 years.

If you asked me to recommend just one embroidered work polo for your business, this would be it. I've worn the Russell J566M Stretch Polo as part of my own branded uniform for over 10 years, and my original polo is still in my wardrobe today. During that time it's been washed hundreds of times, embroidered with the ColorCoded Workwear logo and worn almost every working day. I recommend this polo because it has consistently delivered everything I've ever wanted from a premium work polo. It looks professional, feels comfortable all day, embroiders beautifully and, most importantly, lasts. In my experience, it offers genuine long-term value rather than simply being the cheapest option available. Without hesitation, I would choose this polo over many of the better-known international fashion and sportswear brands. It's a product I'm proud to wear myself, and equally proud to recommend to our customers.

The Stretch Polo (J566M) has a fantastic cut and a myriad of stylish little details — the official Lycra fibre ensures a permanent, proper fit for a polo that genuinely looks and feels premium.

Made from 95% cotton and 5% Lycra (205gsm in white, 210gsm in colours), it has a slim fit, short leaf collar, contrast buttons, and shorter side vents with herringbone tape. Stocked in 9 colours from S to 3XL.

What Sets the J566M Apart

A Genuine Slim, Contemporary Fit

The Lycra content gives a permanent, proper fit that holds its shape, rather than a standard polo that loosens with wear.

Considered Styling Details

A short leaf collar, contrast buttons, and a strip of self-colour fabric along the shoulder seam all add genuine visual interest beyond a standard corporate polo.

Herringbone Tape Detailing

Shorter side vents finished with herringbone tape give a more refined, considered look at the hem.

BSCI Certified

Manufactured under BSCI certified standards.

Ideal For

Premium corporate uniforms
Retail and hospitality staff
Client-facing roles
Fashion-forward branded merchandise
Bulk embroidered polo orders

Logo positioning will be applied as close as possible to your chosen location within garment and embroidery constraints.

Approved artwork and placement selections are produced as confirmed and cannot be changed once in production.
