Product Overview
The SOL'S Unisex Odyssey Recycled T-Shirt is a well-engineered garment designed for businesses seeking a balance between environmental responsibility and professional presentation. Constructed from a blend of recycled cotton and recycled polyester, this standard-weight t-shirt offers a sustainable alternative to traditional workwear without compromising on the structural integrity required for daily use. Its classic fit and unisex design make it a versatile staple for diverse workforces, while the lack of external branding allows your own company identity to take centre stage.
Key Features
- Ribbed Collar: The integration of a ribbed collar ensures the neckline retains its shape and elasticity, preventing the garment from looking worn after repeated use.
- Taped Neck: Internal neck taping provides a smooth finish against the skin, reducing friction and enhancing the overall durability of the shoulder seams.
- Side Seams: Unlike tubular garments, side seams provide a more structured, tailored fit that follows the contours of the body, ensuring a professional appearance.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching on the hems and sleeves significantly increases the garment's resistance to fraying and mechanical stress.
- Unbranded Size Label: The absence of a manufacturer's brand label at the neckline facilitates seamless rebranding, making it an ideal choice for bespoke uniform projects.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 55% recycled cotton and 45% recycled polyester is a deliberate choice for performance. The recycled cotton provides the natural breathability and soft hand-feel essential for comfort throughout a shift, while the recycled polyester adds necessary tensile strength and colour retention. This combination results in a standard-weight fabric that is resilient enough for active work environments while remaining comfortable for indoor roles.
This garment meets several rigorous international standards, including GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and PETA-Approved Vegan status. These certifications confirm that the materials are sourced responsibly and the production processes adhere to high ethical and environmental benchmarks, providing peace of mind for socially conscious organisations.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Odyssey T-Shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Given the stable cotton-polyester blend, embroidery is a superior choice for smaller, intricate company logos or individual names, providing a textured, high-end finish that withstands industrial cleaning. For larger, more vibrant promotional graphics, our technical print processes bond effectively with the recycled fibres, ensuring a crisp finish that remains flexible and resistant to cracking.
Our expert team in Telford, with decades of experience since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards of precision and quality control.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for retail environments, promotional events, or as a base layer for logistics and delivery personnel. Its eco-friendly credentials make it particularly appropriate for organisations within the green energy, non-profit, or sustainability sectors looking to align their uniform choices with their corporate values.

Practical Advice
As a classic-fit unisex garment, the Odyssey offers a generous cut. If your team members prefer a more fitted look, we suggest reviewing the size guide carefully. For those working in variable temperatures, this standard-weight t-shirt layers effectively under sweatshirts or softshell jackets without adding excessive bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of your customised garment, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper maintenance ensures that the recycled fibres do not degrade prematurely and that your embroidered or printed logo remains sharp and professional.
We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect the branded surface from abrasion during the cycle. Avoiding the use of harsh bleaching agents is critical, as these can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause the colours to fade. When drying, air drying is preferable to maintain the garment's shape and prevent any potential shrinkage associated with high-heat mechanical drying.
