Description
The Gildan Hammer Piqué Polo Shirt is a dependable choice for branded uniforms, staff wear, club clothing and promotional use. Its modern classic fit and substantial cotton piqué fabric give it a smart, structured look that works well across customer-facing roles, hospitality, trade teams and everyday business wear.
Details such as the ribbed collar and cuffs, self colour button placket and side vents help create a polished finish that feels equally suited to on-site work and more presentable front-of-house settings. The tear out label is also useful if you are creating merchandise or rebranded clothing with a cleaner internal finish.
This polo is particularly well suited to embroidery, making it a strong option for company logos, team names and personalised branding. Oakdene Merch decorates garments in-house and can add your design in a range of sizes and placements, including multiple positions on the same garment where needed.
If you are choosing for a larger uniform rollout or need a close brand colour match, you can also use our Shop by Colour tool to search by HEX code or RGB reference and find the nearest garment shades.

The Printing Process
What is DTF Printing?
DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a modern technique that allows us to print your design with incredible detail, colour, and durability onto garments.
Your artwork is printed onto a specialist film, then heat-pressed onto the fabric. This creates a soft, flexible finish that sits neatly on the garment without cracking or fading.
Why we use DTF
Sharp, vibrant results
DTF captures fine detail, gradients, and bold colours far better than many traditional methods. perfect for logos, illustrations, and multi-colour designs.
Works on almost any fabric
Cotton, polyester, blends, DTF handles them all. No need to worry about fabric type limiting your design.
No minimums
Because there’s no setup like screen printing, we can produce one-off items or small runs cost-effectively.
Durable and long-lasting
The print is designed to stretch with the fabric and hold up wash after wash without cracking or peeling.
What does DTF look and feel like?
DTF prints have a smooth, matte finish. They’re soft enough for everyday wear, while still giving your design strong opacity, even on darker garments.
When is DTF the best choice?
DTF is ideal if you:
- Have a detailed or full-colour logo
