Port Authority K500 Silk Touch polo with embroidered logo

The K500 is the polo most company uniform programs end up on. It is inexpensive, comes in a deep color range, runs XS to 6XL, and has a matching women's cut (L500). Battle Born Clothing embroiders it in-house.

Why the K500 works for uniform programs
Reorders are easy because the K500 has been in the SanMar line for years and colors stay consistent. The pique surface holds a left-chest logo cleanly, and the flat knit collar keeps its shape through commercial washing. For the all-in price per polo at every quantity tier, see the pricing page; the K500 is the hero product every tier there is computed from.
