Product Overview
The Uneek UC507 Contrast Hooded Sweatshirt is a substantial, heavyweight garment designed for those who require both visual impact and functional warmth. This unisex sweatshirt is engineered from a balanced blend of polyester and cotton, offering a soft-touch feel without compromising on the structural resilience required for demanding work environments. The contrast design—featuring a secondary colour on the inner hood and lace cord—provides a modern aesthetic that helps your team stand out while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- Double Fabric Hood with Contrast Lace: The hood is constructed with two layers of fabric to provide superior insulation and maintain its shape over time, while the coloured lace cord adds a distinctive professional touch.
- Taped Neck and Twin Needle Stitching: The internal neck seam is taped for enhanced comfort against the skin, while twin needle stitching throughout the garment ensures seams remain intact under physical stress.
- Lycra Ribbed Cuffs and Welt: The addition of Lycra to the ribbing ensures the sleeves and hem retain their elasticity, preventing the sagging often seen in inferior workwear after repeated use.
- Integrated Earbud Cord Feed: A discreet aperture within the front pouch pocket allows for the tidy routing of headphone or communication cables, keeping them secure and out of the way during active tasks.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the UC507. The fabric has been reactive dyed, a technical process that ensures deep colour penetration and superior fastness, meaning the contrast colours remain vibrant even after multiple industrial wash cycles. The interior of the sweatshirt features a brushed effect, which not only provides a high level of comfort but also traps air to improve thermal insulation.
The 50% polyester and 50% cotton composition is a deliberate choice for the workplace. The polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, while the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable and comfortable during extended shifts. It is a well-engineered piece of equipment that balances the need for a professional look with the realities of manual or active labour.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC507 is an excellent candidate for customisation, providing a stable and flat surface for various branding techniques. Embroidery is highly recommended for chest-mounted company logos or staff names; the substantial weight of the fabric supports high-stitch-count designs without puckering, resulting in a superior, textured finish.
For larger branding, such as back prints or promotional messaging, our precision printing techniques work exceptionally well. The smooth finish of the outer fabric allows for crisp, clean lines that complement the contrast elements of the hoodie. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented accurately.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for a variety of sectors, including delivery and logistics, construction, and events management. Its robust construction makes it a reliable choice for outdoor work in cooler temperatures, while the stylish contrast design makes it equally appropriate for customer-facing roles where a smart-casual uniform is required.

Practical Advice
Due to its heavyweight nature and brushed inner, this sweatshirt offers significant warmth. For those working in fluctuating temperatures, we recommend wearing it over a moisture-wicking base layer. The unisex fit is generous, allowing for comfortable movement, though we suggest reviewing our size guide to ensure the best fit for your entire team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of this sweatshirt, it should be washed at 60°C. This temperature is high enough to effectively remove oils, grease, and dirt common in trade environments, ensuring the garment remains hygienic and presentable.
We advise against the use of bleach, as this will degrade the reactive dyes and compromise the contrast colours that make this garment unique. When drying, avoid excessive heat to preserve the Lycra elements in the cuffs and welt, ensuring the sweatshirt maintains its professional silhouette for as long as possible.
