Engineered for Performance

The Gildan Hammer Pique Sport Shirt is the definitive choice for businesses aiming to project a sharp, professional corporate identity through their workforce. This garment distinguishes itself with its premium fabric construction: 100% combed ringspun cotton woven into a double piqu knit. The 'combing' process removes short, impurity-laden fibres, leaving only the longest and strongest strands, which are then tightly spun. This results in a fabric that is exceptionally smooth and resistant to fraying. The double piqu weave adds a level of structural density (214gsm) that allows the shirt to hold its shape impeccably throughout the day, resisting the sagging often seen in lighter Polo Shirts. Furthermore, the rolled-forward topstitched shoulder construction is an ergonomic feature that aligns with the natural posture of the wearer, enhancing the garment's drape and reducing visual bunching around the collarbone.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed with the modern professional in mind, this polo features a 'Euro fit', which offers a slightly trimmer, more tailored cut than traditional boxy American styles. This ensures your team looks cohesive and smart, whether they are in a client meeting or manning a front desk. Despite the structured fit, comfort is maintained through the inclusion of side vents, which allow for ease of movement at the hips—crucial for staff who are frequently sitting and standing. The contoured welt collar and cuffs maintain their crisp appearance without curling, a common issue in lower-grade polos. The clean-finished placket with a reinforced bottom box and three colour-matched buttons provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing closure system. This is a garment that employees will appreciate for its substantial feel and breathable comfort, reinforcing a positive association with your company brand.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Corporate office casual wear and management uniforms.
• High-end retail and showroom staff.
• Event management and hospitality supervision.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The dense double piqu knit is the gold standard for embroidery, providing a stable base that prevents puckering around complex logos. To complete a professional winter uniform, you can complete the uniform with Knitwear for a layered, executive look.
