The CoolDry Alliance Polo That Keeps Your Team Comfortable and Professional All Day

Q: What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery , we can operate with any file. For Printing , we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF . Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

Q: What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo . Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Q: What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets. Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

Q: How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements , which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles. This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Q: Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit . Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

Q: How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months . Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

The Winning Spirit PS61 CoolDry Alliance Polo is engineered for Australian workplaces where staff need to look sharp and stay comfortable through long, active shifts.

Built from 100% polyester CoolDry® Mini Waffle fabric at 160gsm, this polo actively moves perspiration away from the skin — keeping staff dry, cool, and professional whether they're on the floor, behind the counter, or out in the field.

Contrast side panels, flat-knitted collar with contrast piping, and a 3-button placket give this polo a modern, athletic silhouette that elevates team presentation beyond standard uniform basics.

Available in 18 colour combinations across sizes XS to 5XL, with embroidery and screen print decoration available from our Australian warehouse.

Why Australian Organisations Choose the PS61 Alliance Polo

CoolDry® Moisture-Wicking Technology: The Mini Waffle fabric structure creates microscopic channels that transport perspiration from skin to fabric surface, where it evaporates rapidly — keeping staff dry and comfortable during busy service periods, physical tasks, and warm conditions.

Modern Contrast Design: Strategic contrast side panels and sleeve details create a flattering, athletic silhouette that suits diverse body types while maintaining the professional appearance required for customer-facing roles in hospitality, retail, and corporate environments.

Flat-Knitted Collar with Contrast Piping: Maintains crisp, professional shape throughout the day and after repeated washing — avoiding the curling and distortion common with standard knitted collars.

100% Polyester Construction: Resists shrinking, fading, and shape distortion through repeated commercial laundering. Wrinkle-resistant properties eliminate ironing requirements and maintain professional appearance straight from the dryer.

Inclusive Size Range: Available from XS through 5XL, ensuring consistent team presentation across all body types without the need for separate plus-size ordering.

Decoration-Ready: The Mini Waffle fabric structure provides excellent embroidery stability, preventing puckering and thread pull-through common with lightweight performance fabrics. Left chest accommodates logos up to 100mm x 80mm; back up to 300mm x 300mm.

Buyer's Guide — Choosing the Right Performance Polo for Your Team

When to Choose Moisture-Wicking Over Cotton:

CoolDry® performance fabric is the right choice when staff work in warm environments, engage in physical activity, interact with customers for extended periods, or experience discomfort with traditional cotton polos that retain moisture against the skin.

The 160gsm fabric weight provides the optimal balance between durability and breathability for year-round Australian conditions — substantial enough to feel professional, light enough to stay comfortable through a full shift.

Colour Selection:

The PS61 is available in 18 colour combinations including Navy/Aqua/Blue, Black/Aqua/Blue, Black/Red, Black/White, Navy/Gold, Navy/Red, Navy/White, Maroon/White, Royal/White, Sky/Navy, White/Navy, White/Red, White/Royal, Red/Black, Black/Ash, Black/Orange, Bottle/White, and Bottle/Gold.

Contrast panel combinations allow brand colour alignment while the modern design appeals to staff across age groups, improving uniform acceptance and compliance.

Decoration Options:

Embroidery is recommended for the PS61 — setup is $85 per position (one-time), with running costs from $5.50 per polo for simple logos under 7,000 stitches. Screen print setup is $75 per colour/position, with running costs from $3.50 per polo.

Turnaround for embroidered orders is 12–15 business days from artwork approval for quantities under 250 units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CoolDry® moisture-wicking technology work?

CoolDry® uses engineered polyester fibres with a Mini Waffle structure that creates capillary action — actively transporting perspiration from skin to fabric surface where it evaporates rapidly.

Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture and holds it against the skin, CoolDry® moves moisture away from the body — keeping staff dry and comfortable during physical activity and warm conditions.

Do you offer embroidery and logo decoration for bulk orders?

Yes. We provide logo digitisation, thread colour matching, placement consultation, and production management for orders from 6 to 5,000+ polos.

Setup is $85 per embroidery position (one-time), with running costs from $5.50 per polo. Digital mockups are provided for approval before production begins.

What makes the contrast panel design more professional than a basic polo?

Contrast side panels and sleeve details create a modern, athletic silhouette that flatters diverse body types and elevates team presentation beyond standard uniform basics.

The contrast piping on the collar and placket adds refined detail that communicates quality and brand investment — particularly effective in hospitality, retail, and corporate environments.

What are the delivery timeframes for Australian orders?

Popular colour combinations ship within 2–3 business days from our Australian warehouse, arriving in metro areas in 5–7 business days total.

Standard metro delivery is $22 flat rate for orders under $400, with free shipping on orders over $400. Express delivery (2–3 business days) is available for an additional $45.

Can I order samples before committing to a bulk order?

Yes. Sample polos are available at the standard unit price plus shipping, with the cost credited toward your first bulk order of 25+ units.

Samples ship within 2–3 business days for in-stock colours. We recommend ordering 2–3 sizes for fit testing across your team.

How should CoolDry® polos be laundered to maximise lifespan?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C maximum) using mild detergent, turning inside-out to protect embroidery and contrast panels.

Tumble dry on low heat or air dry on hangers. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these degrade moisture-wicking properties over time.

With proper care, CoolDry® polos maintain appearance and performance through repeated commercial wash cycles.

What is the return policy?

Undecorated polos in original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for full refund or exchange. Custom-embroidered polos cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturing defect or decoration error on our part.

Manufacturing defects are covered under our 12-month warranty, with replacement polos dispatched within 3–5 business days of defect verification.

Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

How many uniforms should each staff member have?

We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.
