Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing Eco Poloshirt is a well-engineered garment designed for the modern business that prioritises both environmental responsibility and professional presentation. It is constructed using a sophisticated blend of recycled and organic materials, ensuring that your team's uniform makes a statement about your values without sacrificing the durability required in a demanding work environment.
Key Features
- Reactive Dyed Fabric: This ensures that the deep colours remain vibrant and resistant to fading, even after repeated industrial-strength laundering.
- Knitted Collar and Taped Neck: These design elements provide superior structural integrity, preventing the neckline from stretching or losing its shape during daily wear.
- Three Self-Coloured Button Placket: Offers a clean, uniform aesthetic that maintains a professional appearance in client-facing roles.
- Hemmed Sleeves and Bottom: Reinforced finishing on the edges prevents fraying and ensures the garment withstands the rigours of the workplace.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight poloshirt is crafted from a balanced composition of 50% recycled polyester, 30% recycled cotton, and 20% organic cotton. This specific blend is chosen for its unique performance characteristics; the recycled polyester provides essential strength and crease resistance, while the organic and recycled cotton components offer breathability and a soft hand-feel for all-day comfort.
The garment is reactive dyed, a process that bonds the pigment directly to the fibres. This is particularly important for darker shades like Bottle Green, as it ensures the garment looks as professional after six months as it did on day one. The unisex fit is generous enough for ease of movement while remaining smart enough for corporate environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Eco Poloshirt is an excellent candidate for customisation, and its fabric weight provides a stable foundation for both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards are met.
For a refined professional finish, we recommend embroidery. The tight knit of the organic and recycled cotton blend allows for intricate logo work and text to be rendered with precision. If you require large, bold branding for events or high-visibility team identification, our printing processes offer a vibrant and durable solution that integrates perfectly with the fabric.
Use Cases
This poloshirt is highly versatile, making it suitable for retail staff, delivery personnel, and office teams alike. It is particularly effective for businesses looking to enhance their sustainability credentials through their procurement choices. Its robust construction also makes it a sensible choice for tradespeople who require a smart appearance but need a garment that can handle physical activity.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex garment, we advise consulting the size guide carefully to ensure the best fit for all team members. The medium-weight fabric makes it an ideal layering piece; it sits comfortably under a sweatshirt or softshell jacket in colder conditions without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your poloshirt is straightforward, provided specific guidelines are followed. We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures that dirt and bacteria are effectively removed, which is essential for maintaining hygiene in a work environment.
To preserve the integrity of any custom embroidery or print, it is advisable to wash the garment inside out. Avoid using bleach, as this will break down the recycled fibres and cause significant damage to the reactive dyes, leading to premature fading. For the best results, allow the garment to air dry naturally to maintain its shape and minimise the need for intensive ironing.
