Lightweight Cotton Twill Workwear with an Exceptional Size and Colour Range – Outback Men's Closed Front Shirt
Finding one work shirt that suits a large workforce can be challenging, particularly when employees need different sizes and departments want different colours. The Outback Men's Closed Front Long Sleeve Shirt offers an extensive XS–9XL size range and 26 colour options, making it a practical choice for trades, agriculture, transport and outdoor workwear programs.
Made from 155 GSM 100% cotton twill, the shirt combines lightweight construction with reinforced stitching, a mercerised finish and prewashed fabric for everyday workwear comfort.
What Makes the Outback Different?
The Outback combines three important characteristics: lightweight natural-fibre fabric, reinforced garment construction and unusually broad colour and size availability.
-
Mercerised cotton twill: Provides the specified premium fabric finish.
-
Double pre-shrunk: Designed to minimise dimensional changes during laundering.
-
Silicon wash: Prewashed for a softer fabric feel.
-
Twin-needle stitching and bar tacks: Reinforce seams and high-stress construction points.
-
Two button-down chest pockets: Practical storage with a pen division in the left pocket.
-
Two-button adjustable cuffs: Allow adjustment at the wrist.
Sun Protection: An Important Colour Exception
The shirt is specified as meeting AS 4399:2020 for UPF 50+ sun protection, excluding Stone.
This distinction matters when ordering outdoor uniforms. If UPF 50+ is a workplace requirement, do not assume the Stone colour provides the same rating as the other listed colours.
When We'd Recommend This Shirt
We'd choose the Pilbara for businesses needing a lightweight long sleeve work shirt with traditional cotton feel, practical chest pockets and a broad range of colours for different teams.
It is particularly worth considering for agriculture, trades, landscaping, maintenance, transport and general outdoor work.
For workplaces requiring hi vis certification, flame resistance or specialist protective performance, choose garments with those specific compliance requirements confirmed.
