Popular Styles & Key Products
The K500 family anchors the Silk Touch polo catalog.

Women's counterparts include the Port Authority L540 Women's Silk Touch Performance Polo for complete inclusive uniform coverage across the K540 family.
Fabric, Fit & Performance
Port Authority Silk Touch polos are built for the demands of wholesale embroidery decoration programs. The K500 uses a 65/35 poly-cotton pique knit construction that resists wrinkles, holds color through repeated commercial laundering, and provides a smooth, flat surface for embroidery decoration — the defining characteristic of the Silk Touch family. The 65/35 poly-cotton blend delivers a natural hand feel with the wrinkle resistance and color retention of polyester, making it the preferred construction for corporate uniform programs where garments are worn and laundered frequently.
The K540 uses a 100% polyester moisture-wicking pique construction that delivers the same smooth Silk Touch embroidery surface as the K500 with added moisture management for active and warm-weather uniform programs. The moisture-wicking construction pulls perspiration away from the body and dries quickly, making the K540 the preferred choice for hospitality, food service, and outdoor uniform programs. For wholesale buyers building bulk Port Authority Silk Touch polo programs for embroidery decoration, both the K500 and K540 deliver consistent embroidery results across every reorder — a critical factor for large uniform programs where logo placement consistency is non-negotiable.

Healthcare facilities build staff identification uniform programs using the K500 and L500 Silk Touch polo family with embroidered department and logo placement.

Promotional product distributors building complete branded merchandise packages source Port Authority Silk Touch polos because the K500 and K540 family covers every sizing need — men's, women's, tall, and youth — from a single style family.
