Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing Childrens Classic Poloshirt is a robust and dependable garment designed specifically for the rigours of school life and junior team activities. Engineered with a balanced polycotton blend, this poloshirt offers the softness required for all-day comfort alongside the structural integrity needed to withstand frequent laundering. The inclusion of technical finishes, such as enzyme washing and reactive dyeing, ensures that the garment maintains both its shape and its depth of colour, making it an essential component of any youth uniform program.
Key Features
- 50% Polyester, 50% Cotton Blend: This composition provides the breathable comfort of natural cotton with the crease-resistance and durability of polyester, ensuring the shirt looks smart throughout the day.
- Enzyme Washed: This process treats the fabric to create a significantly smoother surface, reducing the likelihood of pilling and providing a softer feel against sensitive skin.
- Reactive Dyed: The use of reactive dyes ensures the pigment bonds permanently with the fibres, preventing the colour from fading even after repeated high-temperature washing.
- Taped Neck: The internal neck seam is reinforced with tape to provide extra comfort and to prevent the neckline from stretching out of shape over time.
- Integrated Name Tag: A practical inclusion on the neck label allows for easy identification, a vital feature for school and group environments.
- Knitted Collar and Hemmed Sleeves: These design elements provide a structured, professional appearance while ensuring the garment remains comfortable during physical activity.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight poloshirt is designed for longevity. The 50/50 fabric split is a deliberate choice for childrenswear; it manages moisture effectively during play while offering superior resistance to the typical wear and tear experienced in a playground environment. The enzyme washing not only enhances the hand-feel but also provides a stable surface for customisation, ensuring that any added logos sit flush against the fabric.
The three self-coloured button placket provides a clean, uniform look that is suitable for formal school requirements or casual club wear. Performance-wise, the garment is built to hold its dimensions, resisting the shrinking or twisting often associated with lower-quality alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Childrens Classic Poloshirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For school crests or club emblems, we recommend embroidery to achieve a refined finish that stands up to the heavy-duty use children put their clothes through. The stable knit of the fabric ensures that even intricate logos remain crisp and clear.
For larger, more vibrant designs—such as for event wear or tour shirts—our printing services offer a bold and effective solution. Our in-house team, established in 1976 and based in Telford, oversees every stage of the process to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for children, we recommend considering the layering of the garment over a thermal base layer during colder months. Due to the polycotton blend, the shirt offers a consistent fit, but if a child is between sizes, opting for the larger size is often advisable to allow for growth and ease of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of this poloshirt, it can be washed at temperatures up to 60°C. This higher temperature capability is essential for ensuring hygiene and effective stain removal in children's clothing. Failure to follow this temperature guidance may result in persistent staining or the build-up of bacteria within the fibres.
We advise avoiding the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the reactive dyes to break down, leading to premature fading. When drying, it is best to tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry to preserve the elasticity of the knitted collar and ensure the garment retains its original shape for as long as possible.
