Why Choose the K500?
The K540 is about getting the features that matter most at an approachable price point.
Its lightweight performance fabric helps manage moisture and provides easy-care convenience, making it particularly well suited for employees who are active, work outdoors, or spend long days in their branded apparel.
Where our other polos begin adding more traditional fabrics, athletic styling, or premium construction, the K540 concentrates on the essentials:
Professional appearance. Performance. Durability. Value.

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.
