Port Authority L562 Women's Silk Touch 3/4-Sleeve Polo | Wholesale Blank

Port Authority L562 | Women's Silk Touch 3/4-Sleeve Polo | Wholesale Blank Women's Polo for Decoration, Uniforms & Corporate Apparel

The Port Authority L562 Women's Silk Touch 3/4-Sleeve Polo is the women's polo built for uniform programs, corporate apparel buyers, and decorators who need the classic Silk Touch hand feel in a 3/4-sleeve silhouette that bridges the gap between short-sleeve and long-sleeve coverage. Constructed from 5-ounce 65/35 poly/cotton pique with Port Authority's signature Silk Touch finish, the L562 delivers the smooth, refined surface and easy-care durability that wholesale polo programs demand — in a sleeve length that provides additional arm coverage without the full warmth of a long-sleeve polo. The 3/4-sleeve design makes the L562 particularly well-suited for customer-facing staff uniforms in hospitality, retail, and healthcare environments where a polished, professional appearance is required across a range of temperatures and settings. Available in women's XS through 4XL (plus XXL) across 4 core colors — Black, Navy, Red, and Royal — the L562 provides the size inclusivity and color variety needed for full team outfitting. For the standard short-sleeve women's Silk Touch polo, the L500 Women's Silk Touch Polo is the direct companion. For the women's long-sleeve version, the L500LS Women's Silk Touch Long Sleeve Polo completes the sleeve-length family.

Fabric, Fit & Construction

The L562 is built on the same 5-ounce 65/35 poly/cotton pique with Silk Touch finish that defines the Port Authority L500 family — a smooth, refined fabric construction that delivers the professional appearance of a dress shirt with the comfort and easy-care properties of a performance knit. The 65% polyester content provides wrinkle resistance, shape retention, and quick-dry properties, while the 35% cotton content adds breathability, softness, and a natural hand feel that pure polyester polos cannot match. The Silk Touch finish elevates the fabric's surface smoothness beyond standard pique, creating a refined hand feel that reads as premium in customer-facing uniform contexts while remaining comfortable and breathable for all-day wear.

The 3/4-sleeve construction is the L562's defining feature — providing arm coverage that extends past the elbow without the full length of a traditional long-sleeve polo. This sleeve length is particularly valued in uniform programs for hospitality, healthcare, and retail environments where staff need additional arm coverage for professional appearance or hygiene reasons, but where a full long-sleeve polo would be too warm for the working environment. The flat knit collar provides a structured, professional neckline that holds its shape through laundering, and the 4-button placket with metal buttons and dyed-to-match plastic rims delivers a refined, coordinated finish that elevates the L562 above standard polo construction. Side vents add mobility and comfort for wearers who need to move freely through their workday. Buyers sourcing Port Authority women's 3/4-sleeve polos wholesale will find the L562 consistently available across all 4 colors in the full women's size run.

Decoration Compatibility — L562 Embroidery & Screen Print

The Port Authority L562 accepts all major decoration methods used in the wholesale apparel industry. The smooth 65/35 Silk Touch pique surface is fully compatible with embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer, and direct-to-film transfers. The flat knit collar provides a stable, structured base for left-chest embroidery without puckering, and the smooth pique front panel provides ample space for center-chest or full-front decoration programs. Embroidery shops running bulk embroidery women's polos for corporate uniform programs will find the L562's Silk Touch pique surface provides excellent stabilizer adhesion and consistent stitch quality across the full size run from XS through 4XL.

Screen printers working with the L562 benefit from the smooth, even pique surface that accepts plastisol and water-based inks cleanly without the texture interference that heavier pique constructions can introduce. The 65/35 poly/cotton blend is compatible with standard plastisol inks without requiring special low-cure systems, making the L562 straightforward to run on standard screen printing equipment. Heat transfer and DTF programs will find the smooth Silk Touch surface provides excellent adhesion and color vibrancy. The L562's 4-color palette — Black, Navy, Red, and Royal — covers the most common corporate and team color systems, and the consistent color quality across the women's size run ensures that XS and 4XL garments match perfectly in the same uniform program. For a women's performance polo with PosiCharge moisture-wicking technology, the L540 Women's Silk Touch Performance Polo is the natural upgrade.

Wholesale & Program Buying Advantages

Uniform program coordinators, corporate apparel buyers, and decorators sourcing Port Authority women's wholesale polos choose the L562 because the 3/4-sleeve design fills a specific gap in women's uniform programs that neither short-sleeve nor long-sleeve polos can address. The L562's sleeve length provides the additional coverage that many women prefer in professional settings — particularly in customer-facing roles where appearance standards require more coverage than a short-sleeve polo provides — while remaining comfortable enough for active workday wear in climate-controlled environments.

The women's size run from XS through 4XL (plus XXL) ensures that programs can outfit their full female team in a single consistent style without requiring supplemental styles for different size ranges. The L562 coordinates directly with the short-sleeve L500 Women's Silk Touch Polo and the long-sleeve L500LS Women's Silk Touch Long Sleeve Polo in matching colors, allowing uniform programs to offer multiple sleeve-length options within the same Silk Touch style family for a consistent, coordinated appearance across the entire team. Joe's USA offers volume pricing tiers and fast shipping from multiple warehouse locations to support program rollouts and ongoing replenishment orders. No minimum order quantities means programs can order exactly the quantities needed without overstocking.
