Start with the fabric, not just the polo name
RX101 lists 50% polyester and 50% cotton at 220 gsm. RX105 lists 100% polyester at 200 gsm, with a spun-polyester piqué knit and a soft cotton feel. Cotton feel describes the RX105 surface; it does not mean it contains cotton. These different specifications make a useful pair to sample for a uniform brief.
Check the cut and size guide for each style
RX105 explicitly lists a modern fit. Both list a ribbed collar, taped neck, three self-colour buttons and twin needle stitching. Do not infer an identical cut from those shared details: use each product’s own size guide and compare a physical sample against the wearer’s reference polo. RX101F is a separate ladies style with its own size guide, two-button placket and side vents.
Approve the embroidery on the actual fabric
Piqué texture, stretch and logo density can affect the finished stitch-out. Match digitising, backing, needle and hooping to the selected garment and design, following the equipment and material instructions. Inspect puckering, coverage, reverse-side feel and placement on the sample. Neither GSM nor cotton content alone establishes the better embroidery result.
Plan the care of the finished uniform
Both blank garments list a 60°C wash in the catalogue. The decorated polo also needs to suit the thread, backing, transfer or ink care instructions. Approve a decorated wash test before giving the customer finished-item care advice. This comparison records supplier specifications; Wholesale Clothing UK has not claimed physical wash or embroidery test results.
Record a sample order you can repeat
Choose the intended style code, exact colour and core sizes, then check their individual price and stock status. Both styles can be ordered from one garment without a trade account. Keep the approved sample and a record of its measurements, logo placement, decoration process and washing result before ordering the full size mix.
