Mercer+Mettle Stretch Pique Polo MM1004
Custom Embroidered Mercer+Mettle Stretch Pique Polo (MM1004)
The Mercer+Mettle Stretch Pique Polo (MM1004) is a 5.5-ounce 55/40/5 cotton/poly/spandex diamond pique polo with a flat knit anti-curl collar, a three-button placket with satin-finish rimmed buttons, side vents and a straight drop tail hem. It is the volume choice for company stores, new-hire kits and large staff rollouts. All decoration is done in-house at our Houston, TX facility, decorating apparel since 1979.
Diamond pique at 5.5 ounces is one of the better embroidery surfaces in a knit polo — enough body to support a dense stitch count without needing heavy backing. Left chest is standard; sleeve, back yoke and nape placements are all available. We also offer DTF print for artwork with gradients, with no minimum order.

Why Buyers Pick It
Price per piece is what puts this on the list. At the lowest cost in this group with an eight-color range and sizes from XS to 4XL, it is the polo that makes a 200-person rollout or an always-on company store financially sensible. The anti-curl collar also means it still looks tidy after the wash cycles a mass-issued shirt actually goes through.
Sizing
XS through 4XL — the widest run in this group, covering 2XL, 3XL and 4XL extended sizes plus an XS at the bottom end. That range alone solves most roster problems. Mix every size in one order — DTF print has no minimum, so a single piece is orderable; embroidery needs at least 6 pieces total, mixable across sizes and colors. The women's counterpart is the Mercer+Mettle Women's Stretch Pique Polo MM1005; see also men's polos and women's polos.
How to Order
Ordering is straightforward. Tell us the sizes and colors you need, send artwork, and we return a free digital mockup for approval before a needle or a printer touches fabric. DTF print has no minimum, so a single piece is a legitimate order; embroidery requires a 6-piece minimum, and mixed sizes cost nothing extra either way. Once you sign off on the proof, plan on 7-10 business days in production; ask about rush if your date is tight. Free ground shipping covers most orders, and everything is decorated in-house in Houston.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a diamond pique polo?
Pique is a textured knit; diamond pique uses a diamond-pattern structure, here in a 5.5-ounce 55/40/5 cotton/poly/spandex blend. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery decorates it with your logo at our Houston, TX facility. We are a decorator, not a blank-goods wholesaler, and have been in business since 1979.
Is there a minimum order on this polo?
It depends on the method. DTF print has no minimum, so a single piece is a valid order and so is a shipment of five hundred. Embroidery requires a 6-piece minimum, mixable across sizes and colors. Embroidered caps are a separate exception in our catalog: headwear runs start at 12 pieces per order.
What is the full size run?
XS through 4XL, so 2XL, 3XL and 4XL extended sizes are all available alongside an XS. The women's version, MM1005, runs the same XS-4XL range, which makes fitting a mixed team straightforward.
Is the collar going to curl after washing?
It is a flat knit anti-curl collar specifically built to resist that, which is the main reason buyers choose this style for shirts that get washed constantly. Embroidery on the 5.5-ounce pique holds its shape through the same cycles.
Do I pay setup again on a repeat order?
No. The digitized file from your first order is archived here and reused, so reorders skip setup. Tell us the style, size run and colors and we go straight to production against the artwork we already have on file.
Can I put the same logo on other styles?
Yes, and most buyers do. One digitized file runs across polos, quarter-zips, jackets and bags, so a mixed order looks consistent head to toe. You can add embroidered caps to the same order too — just note that headwear is ordered in 12-piece units, DTF-printed pieces on this polo have no minimum, and embroidered pieces need at least 6.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 7-10 business days from the moment you approve the digital mockup, and the mockup itself usually comes back within a business day. Rush service is available on request — tell us your in-hands date when you order and we will confirm what is workable.
Ready to move? Send your logo and your size breakdown and we will have a free digital mockup back to you, usually within a business day. DTF print starts at one piece, embroidery starts at 6.
