JBs Wear C of C long sleeve non-cuff tee

The 1LSNC is a long sleeve work tee from JBs Wear, built around a heavy 190gsm ring spun jersey knit. It is the kind of plain, hard-wearing top that gets pulled on under hi-vis, worn on a cooler morning, or run through a uniform pool where you want every shirt to look and wash the same.

The cut is a classic fit, so it sits with a bit of room rather than hugging the body. Two details set it apart from a basic tee: a rib crew neck with self fabric tape taped into the neck and shoulders to keep the shape stable, and a non-cuff sleeve finish, meaning the sleeve ends in a plain hem rather than a ribbed cuff. The marle colour is an 87% cotton, 13% viscose blend, while the solid colours are 100% cotton.

For outdoor crews, the useful point is the compliance with AS/NZS 4399:2017 for UPF protection, so long sleeves here are doing sun-protection work as well as covering arms. If you want to put one in the cart, you can view the JBs C of C long sleeve tee here.

Choosing the right colour and fit

Start with the colour, because it changes the fabric. The marle is an 87% cotton, 13% viscose blend, while the solid colours are 100% cotton. If you want the most natural-fibre feel, go solid; if you like the heathered marle look, you are getting a touch of viscose through it. Fit is classic, so it runs with a bit of room. If your crew is used to a closer cut, size with that in mind.

Getting the most from the UPF rating

The compliance with AS/NZS 4399:2017 for UPF protection is the standout reason to put a long sleeve like this on outdoor workers. To get the benefit you want it covering the skin properly, so the classic fit and full-length non-cuff sleeve both help here. Treat it as one part of a sun plan alongside a hat and the usual site controls rather than the whole answer.

Washing and keeping it in service

The tee is a cotton-based jersey, so expect normal cotton care: wash with like colours and avoid anything that bashes the fibres around more than needed. The twin needle double stitched seams and the self fabric tape at the neck and shoulders are there to help it hold shape through repeated washing, which matters most in a shared uniform pool. For exact wash temperatures and drying advice, check the care label on the garment or the product page, since the listing covers construction rather than full care instructions.

These are like-for-like, same-type work tees from the Done Right Safety range, so the comparison below is a genuine alternative-to-alternative look rather than adjacent options. The JB's Bobbin Tee is the closest same-brand work tee with a stated UPF standard, which makes it a natural reference point even though it runs lighter and in a closer cut.

If your main driver is sun cover on outdoor workers, the 1LSNC and the JB's Bobbin Tee are the two with a stated UPF standard. The 1LSNC is the long sleeve at a heavier 190gsm in a classic fit. The Bobbin Tee is lighter at 160gsm and runs a closer urban fit, so it suits someone who prefers a trimmer cut. For sleeve length and other details on the Bobbin Tee, check its product page.

For a closer-to-the-body long sleeve, the Biz Care performance tee is the pick, with its added stretch and antibacterial treatment for wear under scrubs or on its own. The GOODMATES long sleeve sits between the two: a cotton long sleeve at 185gsm with a ribbed crew neck and a set-in sleeve, where the 1LSNC keeps a plain non-cuff hem. Standards are not listed for the Biz Care or GOODMATES tees, so confirm any rating you need on their product pages.

As a plain workhorse long sleeve, the 1LSNC earns its place. The 190gsm ring spun jersey is a genuine mid-to-heavy weight, the twin needle double stitched seams and self fabric neck tape are the construction details that decide whether a uniform tee survives a year of washing, and the AS/NZS 4399:2017 UPF compliance is a real, listed benefit for anyone working outdoors.

What is confirmed on the listing: the fabric weight, the cotton and cotton/viscose blends by colour, the rib crew neck, the non-cuff sleeve, the classic fit, and the UPF standard. What the listing does not spell out is the full colour range, the size range, and detailed wash instructions, so check those on the product page or the garment label before committing a whole crew to it.

Bottom line: if you want a durable, sun-rated long sleeve work tee in a roomy classic fit and you are happy to verify colours and sizing, this is a sound, straightforward choice.
