Product overview
The Uneek UC101 Classic Poloshirt is a cornerstone of professional workwear, engineered for long-term durability in demanding environments. Balancing comfort with industrial-strength resilience, this 220 GSM garment is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. It is an essential choice for teams requiring a uniform that performs as hard as they do.
Customisation: Professional Branding Solutions
The 50/50 poly-cotton blend of the UC101 provides an exceptionally stable canvas for both embroidery and print. For embroidery, the 220 GSM fabric weight is substantial enough to support high-stitch-density logos without puckering, ensuring a premium, tactile finish on the chest or sleeve. When opting for print, the smooth knit surface allows for excellent ink adhesion. However, due to the polyester content, our production team utilises specialised inks to ensure vibrant, multi-colour designs remain sharp and resistant to cracking. At MyWorkwear, our in-house experts review every design to ensure the chosen method aligns with the fabric's technical properties.

Design, performance and durability
Designed for the gritty reality of trade work, the UC101 utilises a reactive dye process. This ensures that the Bottle Green shade remains deep and consistent even after repeated high-temperature washing. The poly-cotton blend is the industry standard for a reason: the polyester provides the structural integrity needed to prevent shrinking and stretching in the warehouse, while the cotton ensures breathability during physical exertion on-site. The taped neck prevents the sagging often seen in lower-quality garments, maintaining a professional silhouette throughout the working day.
Measured performance
At 220 GSM, this polo sits in the mid-to-heavy category, offering more warmth and longevity than standard retail shirts. With a gross weight of approximately 0.31kg per unit, it provides a reassuringly substantial feel without restricting movement. The unisex fit is designed for versatile use, allowing for layering over base layers during colder morning shifts or worn alone in warmer conditions.
Pros and cons
Pros:- High fabric weight ensures excellent durability and body.
- Exceptional substrate for dense, high-quality embroidery.
- Can be industrially laundered at 60 degrees to remove heavy trade soil.
Cons:- Polyester content requires expert handling for digital printing to avoid dye migration.
- Heavier weight may be less suitable for high-intensity indoor roles in peak summer heat.
Use cases and industry recommendations
The UC101 is highly recommended for construction, logistics, and engineering sectors. Its ability to be washed at 60 degrees makes it particularly suitable for environments where grease, oil, or dust are prevalent. It is the go-to garment for corporate workwear packages where a uniform look across a large workforce is required, providing a professional edge from the workshop to the client meeting.

Our UK-based team, operating from our specialist facility, ensures that logo placement is precise and that every stitch or print layer meets our technical standards. Since 1976, we have refined our processes to ensure that your branding lasts as long as the garment itself.
