Port Authority® K500 Silk Touch™ Polo -Youth
$26.99
The Classic Polo. Refined for Business.
The Port Authority K500 is our classic professional polo, combining a traditional piqué texture
with a soft, comfortable feel and polished business-casual appearance.
Made from a 65/35 polyester-cotton blend, the K500 has a more substantial, traditional feel than
our lightweight K540 performance polo. It is an excellent choice for businesses and
organizations that want embroidered apparel to look less athletic and more like traditional
professional attire.
For offices, sales teams, customer-facing employees, restaurants, organizations, and everyday
business wear, the K500 provides an excellent balance of comfort, structure, professionalism,
and value.

Why Choose the K500?
The K500 is for customers who want their embroidered apparel to look and feel like a traditional professional polo.
Its poly/cotton piqué construction gives the garment more texture and substance than an all-polyester performance polo while maintaining the easy-care characteristics needed for regular business use.
Where the K540 focuses on lightweight moisture-wicking performance, the K500 places greater emphasis on traditional styling, fabric feel, and professional presentation.
If your employees regularly interact with customers or you simply prefer the classic look of a traditional polo, the K500 is an excellent everyday choice.

The T & T Difference
Choosing custom apparel shouldn't require you to become an expert on fabrics, embroidery, or garment construction.
That's why we've intentionally selected a limited collection of polos at different price and quality levels instead of overwhelming you with hundreds of nearly identical options.
Choose the polo that fits your needs, select your color and sizes, upload your logo or artwork, and we'll handle the production details needed to create a polished, professional finished product.
Embroidery digitization: New logos or designs require a one-time $15 digitization fee to convert your artwork into an embroidery-ready stitch file. Once your design has been digitized by T & T Ink Lab, this fee will not be charged again when reordering the same design. Significant changes to existing artwork may require re-digitization.
