Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shirt designed for women?

Yes, it features a tailored ladies’ fit for comfort, movement, and professional appearance.

Does it provide UV protection?

Yes, it is certified UPF 50+ to block harmful UV rays, making it ideal for outdoor worksites.

Is it suitable for hot weather?

Yes, underarm gussets and back yoke ventilation panels ensure breathability in warm conditions.

Can I customise it with my company logo?

Yes, we offer embroidery and DTF printing services to add branding to your workwear.

What is the benefit of underarm or back vents?
Vent panels improve airflow and reduce body heat while working. This feature helps workers stay comfortable during physical tasks or in hot environments.
Do long sleeve work shirts help with sun protection?
Yes. Long sleeves provide extra coverage for the arms, which helps reduce sun exposure. Many cotton shirts also offer natural UV resistance, making them suitable for outdoor jobs.
Why choose a work shirt instead of a polo?
Work shirts offer a collared, professional style with extra pockets for storage. They are better for tradies and site teams who need durability, more coverage, and a tidier uniform look.
Can all Big Bee workwear products be customised with digital print and embroidery?
Yes. All Big Bee workwear garments are designed with logo-ready panels that suit both digital print and embroidery. Whether it’s polos, shirts, hoodies or jackets, our fabrics and layouts ensure your branding applies cleanly and lasts through repeat wear and washing.
