CLIFTON Hawthorne Custom Trimmed Polo

The Hawthorne Custom Trimmed Polo takes the familiar piqué polo and gives it a sharper, more distinctive finish through contrast tipping at the collar and cuffs. Made for clubs, hospitality teams, businesses, schools, events, and brands, it works particularly well when you want a uniform or group polo with a little more personality than a plain classic. Every shirt is made to order around your colors, fit, branding, and trim details.

Why Choose the Hawthorne?

• Distinctive contrast tipping: Striped collar and cuff details add a polished retro influence without making the shirt feel overly formal.
• Classic polo structure: Piqué cotton gives the shirt a breathable, textured finish that holds its shape well.
• Made from scratch: Your colors, trims, fit, logos, and finishing details are built into the garment rather than added to a stock blank.
• Easy to coordinate: Match the tipping to club colors, company branding, event palettes, or existing uniforms.
• Flexible group sizing: Mix men’s, women’s, and children’s fits and sizes within the same order.
• Free design support: Start with a logo, color palette, existing uniform, reference image, or rough idea.

Fabric and Feel

The Hawthorne is available in fabrics that create either a traditional polo finish or a smoother base for all-over printed designs.

• Piqué Cotton: a breathable 100% cotton fabric with the lightly raised texture associated with a classic polo shirt. It feels substantial without being heavy, keeps a neat shape, and gives the contrast tipping a crisp, traditional finish. Our top recommendation for the classic Hawthorne look.
• Lightweight Poly-Cotton Jersey: a softer, smoother fabric with an easier drape and less structure than piqué. It is well suited to lighter all-over printed designs and more casual group wear.
• Mediumweight Poly-Cotton Jersey: a heavier jersey option with more body and durability. It offers a smoother surface than piqué while creating a more substantial finished polo.

Which Fabric Should You Choose?

Choose Piqué Cotton for the most traditional appearance, with clear texture, stronger structure, and neatly defined collar tipping.

Choose Lightweight Poly-Cotton Jersey for a softer, lighter polo with a more relaxed feel and better suitability for all-over printed artwork.

Choose Mediumweight Poly-Cotton Jersey when you want a smoother printed finish with more weight and substance than the lightweight option.

Fit and Trim Options

The Hawthorne is available in men’s, women’s, and children’s fits, with different fits and sizes mixed within the same group order.

Its overall shape is that of a classic polo, but the collar and cuff tipping give it a more styled and intentional finish. The contrast can be subtle and tonal or bold enough to echo team, club, or brand colors.

Available garment options include:

• Contrast-tipped ribbed collar
• Matching or coordinated tipped sleeve cuffs
• Custom placket styles
• Optional ribbed cuffs
• Short or long sleeve options
• Custom buttons, labels, trims, and finishing details
• Mixed fits and sizes within the same order

Make the Trim Part of the Design

The Hawthorne works best when the collar and cuff details are treated as part of the wider visual identity rather than an afterthought.

You can customize:

• Base colors and contrast shades
• Single, double, or multi-stripe tipping
• Collar, cuff, placket, and side-panel colors
• Embroidered logos, text, and individual names
• Printed graphics, patterns, and branding
• Custom buttons, labels, and trims
• Personalization across individual polos within the same order

Because each polo is made from scratch, the tipping can be matched precisely to the rest of your design rather than chosen from a limited stock range.

Best Suited To

The Hawthorne is particularly well suited to clubs, schools, universities, hospitality teams, event staff, corporate uniforms, lifestyle brands, and groups that want a classic polo with a more distinctive, coordinated finish.

Consider Another Option If...
