Contrast-Tipped Polo Shirt — Custom OEM

The Contrast-Tipped Polo Shirt is a customisable pique polo manufactured by Giborn Apparel for club kits, hospitality teams and brands that want a recognisable detail without paying for a full custom knit. The tipping — the narrow stripe knitted into the collar edge and cuff — is where the identity sits, and because it is knitted rather than printed it survives the life of the garment. Listed in our men’s polo shirts category, it is the style clients choose when a plain polo reads too generic but a jacquard is out of budget.

Customization Options

• Single, double or triple tipping in your brand colours
• Tipping applied to collar only, or collar and cuff together
• Contrast inner placket, button thread and side vent taping
• Chest embroidery, sleeve badges and rubberised placket labels
• Pique or performance base depending on whether the shirt is worn on court or front-of-house
• Buttons matched, contrasted or engraved with your mark

Why Produce With Giborn

Tipped collars are knitted to a set width, so a half-millimetre drift across a production run is visible when two garments hang side by side. Collar knitting happens on our own machines and the approved collar is retained as a physical reference for the batch. Our production process explains how those references are held.

MOQ, Sampling & Lead Time

Flexible MOQ · Sampling 5–15 days · Bulk 30–60 days. Tipped styles need the collar approved as a component before the garment sample is made, which is a short extra step at the start rather than a delay at the end. See how component approvals sit in our OEM and ODM workflow.

Send your colour codes and we will knit a collar strike-off first. Our walkthrough of the sampling process from tech pack to approval shows where that lands in the schedule.
