In this episode, Bernard De Coninck explains what makes a good Stanley/Stella polo shirt: pique knit, finer yarns, consistent cut and stable colours. We also look at the best customisation options (embroidery, DTF, DTG), the quality tests carried out at each stage and the traceability of the cotton. A practical look at responsible premium polo.
This episode looks at what makes the Stanley/Stella polo so special: a pique knit with finer, tighter yarns for a softer feel and sharper markings.
Bernard De Coninck details the differences in cut (unisex vs gender fitted…), the place of the polo shirt in B2B and B2C, and the options for customisable polo shirts, with a preference for embroidery on polo shirts, while remaining DTF/DTG compatible thanks to the fineness of the knit.
The exchange also focuses on the traceability of cotton, the selection of varieties and tests (colour, resistance, pilling) carried out on an ongoing basis, as well as the stability of textile colours ensured by strict measurements and tolerances.
