Dickies®  POLO SHIRTS

This is supposed to be the What’s New Monday where we feature new items from our website, Uniform Point. Since, I have been featuring new items through my other updates, we decided to just put a product under the spotlight today.

Today, the spotlight is on two polo shirts from one of the trusted names in workwear apparel. Though the youth may know the brand Dickies for their fashionable and trendy pants and the casual tees, they actually have a proud heritage of providing tough, quality clothing to American workers for more than 87 years.Dickies® has an extensive range of innovative and durable work apparel but also ventured in meeting the needs of their customers for quality after work clothing. Their unpretentious image has transcended generations and socio-economic boundaries as you can see the workwear apparel become trendy and the Dickies product appeals to typical American workers also appeals to fashion trendsetters, from construction worker to nurses to college students, to name a few.  Customers can be thankful that Dickies continues to evolve and display innovation in their workwear design to meet the changing demands of their customers.

Polo shirts though used to be worn by tennis players earning the term tennis shirt, also gained followers in other sports and thus earned the moniker polo shirt as well as golf shirt though the polo shirt underwent some changes to adapt to the need of the sport. Compared to other apparel, the polo shirts are a little bit more formal than t-shirts but a little more casual than button-down dress shirts but still being a little dressy. Thus polo shirts are often worn in settings where t-shirts are not acceptable but formal business attire is not required. Due to its rugged casualness and style, these were worn by those who work outside of the office such as maintenance workers and groundskeepers. In the 90s it became a part of the business casual apparel as those who work in high-tech industries favored the polo shirts as workwear. Over the years, the polo shirts has become a part of the school uniforms, sports team uniforms, and favorite corporate giveaways simply because the company logo can be embroidered or screen printed on it and still look a little bit more formal than t-shirts and flexible enough to be worn with jeans and slacks.

In order for organic cotton to be “certified,” the land used to grow the cotton must be treated organically for 3 years and obtain a certificate from a governing agency.

Rayon from Bamboo & Poly from Bamboo Charcoal

Made from bamboo

One of the world’s most renewable plants and probably the most sustainable resource in the world today , bamboo grows up to a foot a day without the use of chemical pesticides. When used to develop rayon from bamboo fabric, bamboo offers a soft hand and breathable wear.

Bamboo charcoal technology uses high heat to convert bamboo into charcoal—which is then made into a soft polyester fabric that naturally wicks moisture.
