Kingsmill Polycotton is a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend described as having superior colour retention and non-shrinking properties. The fibre mix resists visible fading through repeated wash cycles when cared for as instructed.

Vibrant uniforms keep a smart appearance for longer, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Colour stability helps maintain a consistent team look across many shifts.

Organised storage and quick access - with a concealed stud front and three pockets

A concealed stud front keeps the front neat while allowing easy opening and closing during busy changes. Three pockets, including a chest pocket, provide designated space for pens, small tools and notes.

Carry essentials without adding bulk and keep them within easy reach during rounds or practical tasks. A tidy front reduces snagging and maintains a professional look.

Comfort for long shifts - with a practical 65/35 polycotton blend

The 65% polyester component gives strength and resilience, while 35% cotton adds breathability and comfort for extended wear. The fabric is described as non-shrinking when laundered according to care instructions.
