Description of Port Authority Y500LS / #Y500LS
School uniforms don’t take a break when it gets cold, and neither do kids who refuse to wear a jacket. The Port Authority Y500LS Youth Long Sleeve Silk Touch Polo Shirt gives them a little more coverage on those frosty walks to the bus stop, while still passing the dress code. Long sleeves, a proper collar, and none of the “I’m cold” complaints by second period. Well, fewer of them, anyway.
It’s made from Port Authority’s Silk Touch pique, a 5-ounce poly/cotton blend that’s smooth, soft and resists wrinkles. That last part is a big deal for any parent who’s ever found a uniform shirt balled up at the bottom of a backpack. The flat knit collar and cuffs keep their shape, so the sleeves stay neat at the wrist instead of stretching out. Smaller sizes get a two-button placket, larger sizes get three, and the metal buttons have plastic rims dyed to match the shirt. Double-needle stitching at the armholes and hem helps it hold up, and side vents leave room to move.
When spring rolls around, the short sleeve Y500 is the same shirt with less arm. And since Port Authority makes the Silk Touch polo in adult long sleeve too, teachers and coaches can stay matched with their students all year.
