Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing UC501, also known as the Premium Hooded Sweatshirt, is a substantial garment engineered for those who require more from their workwear than a standard top can provide. This heavyweight hooded sweatshirt is constructed with a balanced 50% polyester and 50% cotton blend, offering a professional solution for demanding environments where both warmth and durability are paramount. Its robust build makes it an essential staple for any uniform requiring a dependable outer layer that doesn't sacrifice comfort for strength.
Key Features
- Double Fabric Hood: Provides dual layers of material for enhanced insulation and a more structured, professional appearance compared to single-layer alternatives.
- Reactive Dyed Fabric: Ensures that the deep colour remains vibrant and resistant to fading, even after the frequent cleaning cycles common in trade industries.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced seams provide superior structural integrity, ensuring the sweatshirt can withstand the physical rigours of a manual working day without unravelling.
- Brushed Effect Interior: The internal fabric has been processed for a superior feel against the skin, offering increased comfort and a more premium aesthetic.
- Lycra Ribbed Cuffs and Welt: The inclusion of Lycra helps the garment retain its shape at the openings, preventing the sagging or stretching that often plagues lower-quality sweatshirts.
Design & Performance
The UC501 is designed with a focus on longevity and functional performance. The 50/50 fabric composition is a deliberate choice: the cotton provides natural breathability and a soft handle, while the polyester adds necessary resilience and moisture-wicking properties. The taped neck design further enhances wearer comfort by preventing irritation across the shoulders and neck during movement. The front pouch pocket is generously sized, offering a practical space for tools or hands, and the self-coloured cord allows for a unified, understated look that fits seamlessly into a corporate or trade identity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
As a heavyweight garment, the UC501 is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. The substantial thickness of the fabric provides a stable foundation for high-density embroidery, allowing for intricate company logos or staff names to be rendered with precision and a professional, raised finish. For those requiring larger, more impactful branding across the back or chest, the smooth surface of the polyester-cotton blend takes screen printing and heat transfers exceptionally well. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure your branding meets our rigorous quality standards.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for tradespeople working in unheated environments, warehouse staff, and outdoor event teams. Its unisex design and wide range of sizes make it a versatile choice for outfitting a diverse workforce. Whether used as a primary outer layer in the spring or as a core warmth layer during the winter months, it provides the professional appearance and physical protection required on-site.

Practical Advice
For those working in particularly cold conditions, we recommend pairing this heavyweight sweatshirt with one of our moisture-wicking base layers. This combination allows for better thermal regulation. When selecting your size, consider whether you will be wearing it over other layers, as the substantial weight of the fabric provides a structured fit that does not have as much 'give' as lighter alternatives.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and finish of your Premium Hooded Sweatshirt, we recommend a machine wash at 60°C. This specific temperature is high enough to effectively remove the oils, greases, and dirt typically encountered in industrial or trade settings, ensuring your uniform remains hygienic and professional.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will compromise the reactive dyes and weaken the polyester-cotton fibres, leading to premature wear and colour loss. When drying, we suggest air drying where possible to preserve the Lycra in the cuffs and welt, ensuring the garment maintains its shape for the duration of its lifespan.
