Since 1995 PoloGear has made its own polo team shirts and jerseys in house at the PoloGear TeamShop™ in Florida. We handle each stage of the creation and manufacturing in our own facilities attending to each and every detail of design and production with the concern only an owner can understand. Your shirts are created, designed, manufactured, quality controlled, inspected and shipped all by our USA based in house staff who is genuinely concerned that your finished product exceeds your expectations. Each PoloGear team shirt and team jersey comes to you with decades of refined workmanship and skill and with our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Team shirts and team jerseys can be screen printed, embroidered, heat transferred or sublimated. We do all these processes in house, at the PoloGear Authentic Polo Outfitter facilities in Florida.

Today the most popular process for the making of team shirts today is sublimation. Here we create your design in the computer using graphics software and then transfer it to a full-scale graphics template. From there the design is sent to the rip software where it is printed on to special sublimation paper in full size templates. Then the paper is sublimated to our special proprietary KwikDri™ fabric in a large press that requires extreme temperature and pressure. Each piece of the shirt is printed separately. From there the pieces are carefully hand cut and bundled and sent to sewing where each shirt is assembled and sewn by our expert seamstress and each requiring four different sewing machines and processes. After production each shirt undergoes a rigorous inspection and quality control, folding, bagging and shipping.

The amazing thing about sublimation is that anything we can create on the computer we can reproduce in a jersey; 1 Million different colors, half tones, bleeds, shading, geometrics, photos, you name it. Anything you can imagine we can create on a quality, durable, comfortable garment that looks great and facilitates athletic performance. The other remarkable thing is that the sublimation process is not like printing or a transfer process where ink or a substrate is applied to the shirt. With sublimation we have an actual chemical change, where the molecules of the fabric change and the change color and physical properties. So, sublimation team shirts will not fade in the sun or wear off, even in extreme use. That makes them perfect of the demands of polo that require constant weekly washings and rugged use conditions. We have team shirts that have been in service for years with no visible signs of wear. They don’t pill, fade, shrink or wear out. Our KwikDri™ fabric has a 48 UV protection, is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, wicks moisture better than any other fabric we have seen or tested, feels like silk, wares like iron, is extremely lightweight and stretches to allow you to perform any athletic movement required. It is truly the dream fabric and is available only From PoloGear. In addition, only KwikDri has an illuminescent sheen that makes the colors really pop on it. Admired by all, copied by many, but equaled by none, KwikDri™ is the state of the art, best in class for real polo jerseys and team shirts. Available only at PoloGear and made proudly in the United States of America. Call our PoloGear® Graphics Team to order yours today.

Polo Jersey and Polo Shirt Features

First in importance for PoloGear products has always been performance. Our perspective has always been from that of the player. How can we provide products that are of superior design and/or performance? PG has always managed to press the envelop in performance by providing features that allow the horse, the player and/or the team to excel and play with more ease, safely and comfort. How can a polo team shirt increase overall performance in the sport?

KwikDri™ space age performance fabric is used exclusively on all PoloGear performance jerseys. KwikDri™ is a proprietary product used only by PoloGear. It was designed and is manufactured exclusively for us to our proprietary formula. In 2008 PG announced the creation of KwikDri™ a new fabric that has superior performance properties when used for polo team jerseys, riding apparel or for any athletic endeavor. The development of KwikDri™ marks the start of a new generation in performance fabrics that have markedly improved the performance for athletic performance applications. Ten years latter KwikDri™ is still the standard by which the equestrian and athletic industry fabric performance is measured. Despite the introduction of many performance fabrics and our constant vigil as to how to improve our fabric, nothing we have seen, tested or heard of can compare to KwikDri™. When you seek the absolute best in performance the only choice is KwikDri™ fabric, exclusively from PoloGear.

Imagine a fabric that was extremely lightweight (only 145 grams/meter2 or 5.11 oz/meter2), that was so smooth and comfortable to the touch that it fells like the finest silk gliding over your skin. A fabric that is woven on a very fine gauge weave that makes it very soft, comfortable and luxurious yet tough and durable. It has a unique hard finish that glistens and reflects the light shimmering in the sun. A finish that makes the color shine and the durability remarkable. Created from a special high twist spun yarn that accelerates wicking and creates a higher degree of gumption and elasticity, that has wonderful stretch characteristics inherent in the weave not achieved from added rubber Lycra® spandex which may stretch, wear, react to chemicals and distort over time. Stretch that allows our athletes to preform without restriction or loss in comfort and that accommodates a large range of motion. Stretch that allows complete freedom of movement yet retains it original shape with amazing consistency even over many years of hard use.

In addition to the moisture wicking capacities of the weave™ KwikDri™ is also chemically treated to create more accelerated wicking properties. The combination of the two makes it vastly superior to normal polyester moisture wicking material. You can take your PoloGear™ KwikDri™ garment from the washing machine and it will hang dry in minutes. On the field it cools you when it’s hot and warms you when it’s cool, and makes an ideal layering garment. It is ideal for both very warm and very cool playing environments and everything in between. Ask your PoloGear salesman for the layering garments offered. By cooling the player during hot temperatures KwikDri™ also improves performance.

Our fabric is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, 40 UV protected and will not fade, discolor, peal. It is not uncommon for PoloGear KwikDri™ team shirts to last for a decade or more. Some of our top teams use then for years, playing year round with multiple games and washings per week. They still maintain their color, shape, functionality and vibrancy of their designs even under these extreme wear conditions. While other manufactures team shirts may fade or peal our sublimated shirts will not because the color is transferred into the fabric with the sublimation process with the fabric actually changing the colors of the molecules. Sublimation is unlike the screen-printing or heat transfer applications many of our competitors use. In addition our fabric is treated for color fastness and odor from sweat, sun, chlorine, washing and seawater. In addition KwikDri™ has solar protection with UPF 30-50.

A talented designer can do remarkable things with our sublimation process. Basically any thing we can imagine we can create in a team jersey. Because we create our designs with modern computer graphics any design we can create on the screen we can transfer to the garment. There are no limits to your creativity and no limits to our designs. That allows us to use all the creativity the universe allows a modern graphic artist; millions of colors, pantone matching, ½ tones, fading, shading, all kinds of unique expressionism. PoloGear owners have always been the design inspiration behind the brand and continue to this day. We have a talented in house design team that can take your ideas and easily, quickly translate them to graphics for you to approve and then for us to make.
