Product Overview
The Uneek UC504 Adults Classic Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt is a versatile and durable staple, engineered to meet the demands of a modern working environment. This heavyweight garment combines the utility of a jacket with the comfort of a traditional sweatshirt, featuring a full-length self-coloured zip for easy layering. It is designed for those who require a dependable layer that maintains its shape and colour after repeated use, making it an excellent choice for consistent branding across a workforce.
Key Features
- Reactive dyed fabric ensures that the deep colour pigments are locked into the fibres, preventing premature fading even after industrial laundering.
- The taped neck and twin needle stitching throughout provide reinforced structural integrity, ensuring the garment doesn't fray or lose its form under physical stress.
- A brushed effect interior offers superior comfort and heat retention, creating a soft surface against the skin or base layers.
- Lycra ribbed cuffs and welt provide a secure, comfortable fit that retains its elasticity, preventing the sleeves from sagging during manual tasks.
- The double fabric hood and self-coloured lace cord provide added protection against the elements while maintaining a cohesive, professional aesthetic.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a balanced 50% polyester and 50% cotton blend, the UC504 offers the best of both worlds: the breathable, natural comfort of cotton and the hard-wearing, shrink-resistant properties of polyester. This blend is specifically chosen for its resilience in active work settings. The brushed finish on the inside is not merely for comfort; it creates an insulating layer of air that helps regulate body temperature in cooler conditions.
The addition of twin needle stitching on all main seams is a critical design choice for longevity. It means the sweatshirt can withstand the stretching and pulling common in trade environments without seam failure. The full self-coloured zip is robustly integrated, allowing for quick ventilation or closure as the working day demands.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC504 is a superior canvas for both print and embroidery, thanks to its stable fabric blend and smooth surface finish. For a highly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery; the heavyweight fabric provides a solid foundation for dense stitching, ensuring company logos or staff names sit flat and look sharp.
If your branding requires large, high-impact designs, such as across the back of the garment, our high-quality printing process is the ideal solution. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility by our expert team, who have been perfecting workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is a versatile choice for a wide range of industries. It is particularly well-suited for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, and site managers who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor tasks. The full-zip design makes it an excellent choice for workers who need to manage their temperature throughout the day without removing their entire uniform.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what you will be wearing underneath. As a substantial heavyweight layer, the UC504 fits comfortably over a t-shirt or polo shirt. If you intend to wear it over thicker base layers, you may wish to check our sizing guide to ensure a full range of movement in the shoulders and arms.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is high enough to effectively remove grease and dirt common in trade environments while protecting the integrity of the reactive dyes.
Following this temperature guideline ensures that your embroidered or printed logos remain vibrant and do not suffer from thermal damage or lifting. Regular washing at the specified temperature will help keep the brushed interior soft and the outer fabric looking professional for the duration of the garment's life.
